So, what would you choose?

If you ever post windows 7 32bit again in a comp components poll I will whine you...

Very interesting replies/votes chaps. In summary:

1. Almost no one voted for Windows 7 32 bit.
2. Almost 75% voted for Intel over AMD.
3. Over 50% voted for Intel with Nvidia, the single most popular answer.

Thanks

1000w is such an overkill considering efficiency.
Enjoy the electricity bill.

If he's planning to play overclocked (250W+), he'll be in the efficiency zone (20% of PSU). When idling in desktop (~140W), it'd be more efficient to have a 700W PSU though.

Watching my wifes face when i tell her I blew a months salary on a computer game.....Priceless!

Overkill? Maybe for now, this will have to last me a few years. I may ditch one of the gpu's if the third is not going to give me a good jump over regular sli.

...Now that's just being greedy! ;)

Seems you'll be future-proofed for a few years with that set-up.

BigC208 02-06-2011 08:48 PM

It better be futere-proof. Asking for anything computer related and I'll be in the doghouse or looking for a new wife. She knew it was coming though. Built my last system in December of 2006 for SoW. When it had not come out by 2009 she asked me if I was allready saving up for the next system for SoW. I also use the multi monitor system for market analysis, options and stock trading. As a profesional pilot and flight instructor I can deduct all my flightsim gear for tax purposes so I have a bunch of good reasons/excuses to buy a kick@ss system every 4 years.
