Re: Extreme gaming system build/upgrade Help The parts have been ordered and on the way just as I posted.
Some people just don't get it. This is not just about playing a game called Microsoft Flight Simulator. It goes far beyond that. These people are in some weird stuff. He has been trying for years to get me into this but unless I can pop a cap in ones head in a first person shooter game I not going to play.
It's his money he can spend it the way he sees fit. He earned it. It has nothing to do with what one spends for computers.
I think the real problem is that one person is just pissed cause he don't have the money to buy good things. Maybe? When I buy things I by nothing but the best. Have learned over the years you get what you pay for.
With all that said thanks to most all that have help with input on this.
I will post some pics on the build. He will here during the week of the 15.
Edit: We did change the video to.........
ASUS ROG MATRIX 5870 P/2DIS/2GD5 Radeon HD 5870 Platinum 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX.

kudos:1 | I think it’s a fine build indeed. I’d very much like to have a similarly configured system for myself.
One question though, did you go with the G.SKILL Ripjaws 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 kit? The only reason I ask is that I think it would have been better to go with a Tri-Channel kit that used 3x4GB DDR3 1600 or maybe 3x2GB DDR3 1600. Not a terribly big deal either way as I am sure this will be an incredibly fast system either way. Certainly faster than most systems you’ll see around these here parts 
If anything you can probably order another 4GB DDR3 1333 DIMM at some later date if the need or desire presents itself.
I’d like to see pictures so please update when you get a chance if you can and good luck with the build! |

Very nice, that card will rock. Oh, BTW, tell them to keep an eye out for the ASUS ARES card, it is coming out soon. Unreal stuff, take a look. It will retail for around $1,200 though.

But if they want to upgrade later, with another ROG in Crossfire it will probably surpass the ARES, or at least be right there (since the ARES is basically 2 of those cards squeezed together!). |
