the first link no show price and
do you really think that the 100310sr is better than the 580 lightning
and are video cards liquid cooled yet? or is it just the processors?

[Sir-diealot]

Price on first is 699.95 They are out of stock.

They have liquid cooled versions of the high end graphics cards like GTX 580 and such, they're usually about $100 more expensive than the air cooled versions.

this would be much cheaper to get than a new system
but i would be playing the games on low settings with my old 8800
but if i upgrade to 7 then i could get more memory wich would help rather than the xp max of 3

if you have any Q's about watercooling im the guy to ask and if i was you i would go with intel new sandybridge or just an I7. and a x58 board. best upgrade i have ever done i whent from amd to intel and ill never go back

Lol, I didn't mean just buy a new OS. I was showing you the one to get. Newegg sells different types and I wanted to give the correct one that you need.

From the things I've heard, make sure you go with an Intel i7, and if you don't want to upgrade anytime soon, get this bad boy: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115079

[Schlup]

Yeah, that's a nice processor and you get the Sega Shotgun with it to boot!

Yeah, that's a nice processor and you get the Sega Shotgun with it to boot!

You can buy liquid cooling kits for practically any current video card BUT they take a lot of case management knowledge & are a real pita to install the backplate to some cards properly. I'd strongly suggest that you either buy a watercooled version of whatever card you decide on. These are also difficult to SLI in some instances due to space restraints. Do you plan to build the rig yourself? It's a barrel of fun & a ton of nerve-wracking - frustration all at once!! I LOVE it. Don't be afraid to ask questions. Someone in this group will have an answer for you or find you one.

Best of luck...........Griz. 

[Grizwold]

I meant to also suggest that you pay a local techie to install it for you have any doubts about doing it yourself.

[FALLEN]

yes my video card is cooled and i have 2 ssd's. adn there was a driver problem at the start but now there the best thing you could do. 2 new sata 3 in o raid and run at allmost 1g a sec i get about 500 out of mine. and its a 4 core but runs as if there is 8 do to intel rocks. hyper threading for the win

[Monkey_Grill]

Yeah, that's a nice processor and you get the Sega Shotgun with it to boot!

I didn't know Sega made shotguns...

Rofl

It's Shogun, not shotgun.

[Monkey_Grill]

Here is a monster video card:

Grab two of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130693
(They also have a water cooled version too): http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130659

But if that is too much get a GTX 580.

[CoCoCountyKiller]

looks like the 590 is 3D ready would i need another monitor
or will my view sonic work for it?
are you able to turn the 3D off?

co.co.

[Monkey_Grill]

I believe you need a monitor that can handle 120hz for 3D. And yes, you should be able to toggle 3D on and off. Check your monitor specifications to find out what hertz it can handle.
