Thor. Posted August 7, 2011 Share Posted August 7, 2011 (edited) http://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/smile.gif yes it is, Or the 24$ one whatever takes your fancy lol, 4$ differencehttp://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/ohmy.gifhttp://www.thenexusforums.com/public/style_emoticons/dark/tongue.gifAnother i thing i noticed is your cpu, i suggest go with amd, the price and performance is a lot better and cheaper. especially its a 6x cpu at 3.30ghz.:thumbsup: http://www.newegg.co...N82E16819103913 Just helping youy save your money :smile: Please take my advice, i am also telling up the price without tax for you, Things i suggest you get instead it might be a bit more exxpensive but its worth every penny. OShttp://www.newegg.co...N82E16832116717Its the best version for gaming it is the only one with full emulated backwards compatibility. Other then ultimate.Since your getting a amd phenom that'll make up for the difference. Please :biggrin: Your price without tax comes to 1127,89$ with windows 7 pro :thumbsup:It would be safe to say it would come around 1300$ with tax, but that could be pushing it since its a us build, here the tax is pretty high.

hoofhearted4 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) does it still show the i5-2500k? cause ive been planning on AMD 1100t for a while (hence been looking at AM3+ boards)...actually depending on when bulldozer comes out, ill be getting the bulldozer over the 1100t (unless proven otherwise no worth it) if by the time i build my PC (next may) bulldozer for some reason isnt out, i plan on getting like the 955, that way i dont spend too much money before bulldozer, but its still decent. as for the OS, id get the OEM version, save myself $100....BUT i can get it from my school. im in college right now for Computer Science, and we get Windows 7 Professional x32 and x64 for free, as well as a bunch of other software. (and as a proof im not lieing and just pirating, its through msdnaa.com) this is whats changed. DVD:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204 CPU:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103913 Mobo:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131767 Speakers:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16836121014 Extra Case Fan:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148591 everything else on the list (ie. HDD, GPU, PSU, etc) are still the same. only thing i took out was the AC5 thermal compound. i read up that the thermal compound on the H60 is actually better....case fan is so i can do a push/pull with my H60 Total Price: $1290.27 (only $30 in rebates though, ugh lol) Edited August 8, 2011 by hoofhearted4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3C14R Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) Depends on the motherboard/chipset capabilities, eg H55/P55 mobos only allows x16 on single cards while in sli/xfire both cards are limited to x8/x8 mode. X58 mobos allow 2 cards in sli/xfire to run in x16/x16 while in tri-sli/trifire the third card is limited to x8 while the rest run in x16.

Thor. Posted August 8, 2011 Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) not to mention Asus to :thumbsup: 16x shouldn't be a prroblem :smile:Why are you getting a Crossfire Motherboard, unless your thinking of going crossfire in the future, i have nothing against that, cheaper cards better prices. But for enthusiasts i would go with Nvidia better driver support.:thumbsup: like the one i posted was cheaper and sli readyhttp://www.newegg.co...N82E16813131637 Edited August 8, 2011 by Thor.

hoofhearted4 Posted August 8, 2011 Author Share Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) didnt even notice lol, Crossfire is AMDs version of SLI right? and urs doesnt have USB 3.0!!! unfortunately, the next board i see that is SLI and USB 3.0 is this one, a tiny bit more expensive: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131754 Edited August 8, 2011 by hoofhearted4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
