i want that computer hey boogyman

dupain . longtime :p

i don't have the build yet

The build seems nice but with those hardware i think u might need some good liquid cooling and maybe a UPS to save ur board in case of power cuts.  

My computer suffered a lot from those cuts without ups it seems the motherboard doesn't function properly and that's what a technician told me too much brutal shut down damaged it.  When i pull off all the hardware and put them back in for cleaning sometimes the computer doesn't boot give me bios screen or nothing at all. i have to carefully reseat all the hardware and hope it works. Even when removing the RAM it doesn't give any sound.  

If you don't usually have power cuts then u should be fine but here it happened fairly often and they even grilled my power supply once from over voltage. The UPS also protects ur computer against fluctuations  and some other stuff i read since it's some good expensive system I'd consider protecting it against these.  

The liquid cooling will help ur system live longer and make less noise.  Get some good casing too so everything fits in and give u enough space

idk too much about brands but after building a computer once these are the main problems i found.  For the brands maybe u could see what's available for u for prices and google up reviews on them and read the comments if there are happy or angry users.  

For the Palit graphics card i dun remember what i read but they said the Asus was very efficient in cooling.  Look it up and see what suits u

bulldozer? *googles* hi burger long time no see problem with tech is that new techs always expensive and when u decide to take the new one it's always getting weaker with the next series wee should all make a time machine and get newer hardwares and software then come back with them to use at the current time

nah.. i think ill stick with the i5
maybe the price will drop when they release the new ones lol

i read that i7's HT won't be of much use if i just do games

when can wee expect the next gen releases from intel?

5xx cards ? :/ .. theyd cost a lot i bet...
maybe ill just go for a gtx 470 if the price drops
or stick to a 460 and sli the thing XD
idk ... so far im still ok with this build spec

well see when this finally pushes through :/
