Things to build on with approx prices: Case ~ 200 PSU ~ 150-200 HDD`s ~ Depends... couple of raptors raid0 is niceee but not enough benefits to justify cost. I say couple of SATA 7200 Rpm drivers for raid0 (prim. partition) and backup drive, whatever size you like.. knowing you.. probably 1TB no less ![]() DVDROM ~ 50-100 Motherboard ~ 300-350 DDR3 Memory 4GB DDR3 at least 1600 ~ 300 Total of lets say $1500 _______________ 70-80% of your system cost Things you dont want to buy Top of the line: CPU - i would get Q6600 what is it, like 200 bucks? Video - single 8800 GTX or If you like ATI 3870 X2 ~ 400 dollars range Sound - PCIe Creative goes for like 60 dollars... Total roughly 660 _________________ So, there is no need to blow 3k on the system... especially paying top dollar for something that will be half price tomorrow... When SOW or whatever comes about, you`ll have a strong base to built on... then you can upp the video and CPU... Reality is...CPU and video cards that cost a fortune nowdays will be at least 50% cheaper by the time SOW is out, and possible much better CPUs and GPUs will be avail by then.. It is very easy to let go CPU that you paid 200 dollars for...and really painfull to let go one for 900+ ![]() But that is just my approach.. ![]() p.s. I honestly dont think that you can buy a rig today that will be good tomorrow ![]() Last edited by crazyivan1970; 06-04-2008 at 04:55 PM. |
