help needed

msc728 cp's systems are crap that is why they cost less, they use quality parts here so they cost more money, also they don't oc and put it under warranty do they?

ok so how much is it for the oc and I know there is a 3 year warranty I'm asking if the warranty covers the system with oc.

I do have recommendations however the price is a bit higher, however if we go with a 275 then it will be about $200 cheaper, I don't believe that the 5850 is worth $200 more then the 275 when they both have pretty much the same performance, 4 to 7 fps are not worth $200 more and IMHO nor is dx11 support, but I will show you both anyways:

this one has no gpu, go to newegg, and get your won gpu for $299 and that should bring the price to:

1546 + 299 = $1845

My pleasure boss

ok lets see

1. v8 is availabe for less, but Noctua is better and is more quiet and the price difference is like $15, go with Noctua its the right choice and why I piced it.

2. they have to be the same, however the fermi is suppose to beat the 5870 line, in short a fermi will give you the performance of 2 x 275 but in one card and no internal sli, the new cards are gonna be powerful and will perform like 2 of the current cards.

if you have an old gpu that you can drop in that last config and just wait 2 or 3 month, you can then take the money for gpu and put it into a nice fermi, this way you will spend less and have double the gpu performance, even better then the 5870.

the fermi is suppose to have better power usage then teh current cards so if it has the same needs as a 275, then you can run dual sli 275 or fermi if you wanted to.

My pleasure

so use the 7800 for 2 month or so and before you know it you have a fermi

I think it was i7 extreme 1 prebuild, I used the same cofig for all of them, the only difference between them is that the first one has a 275, second one has the 5850 and the third one has no gpu.

you don't need an email, you just need the ticket number.

I'm not sure what the email thing is to being with cause it has never emailed lol

1. yes

2. only things I would change if there is more money are:

a. go with 932

b. if you see your might need tri sli or something like that in the future then go with 1000w corsair.

3. sniper does not have the room of 932, I would go with 932, more room better temps and can take bigger mobos.

My pleasure and good luck call Sarah at 1-866-817-8676 Extension: 115 and she will set you up

Congrats , Let the torture begin

awesome bro congrats!!!!!!!! the sniper has a meshing on one of the sides of the case and it doesn't really do much since you have other fans blowing dust around anyway... and there is only 1 mesh. frozencpu is where u can find filters if u need

If i were to get a new monitor (looking at hp 2159m). i would be gaming at 1900x1080. Is it essential to get 275gtx in SLI? Right now or should i say soon i will have i7 920 overclock to 3.4+, 6 mb ram, 750w corsair psu, and 1x275gtx (pretty much build 1 on the prev page). thanks!

ok this may be a dumb question, but how do i know if a game supports sli. Fallout 3 says enhanced for mulit core, red faction:guerilla say same but also direct x 10, Halflife 2 not sure and not sure about Cod mod warfare 2. none of them said SLi on the packaging anywhere.

got it, thanks. i'll have to add another one if i get the monitor.

sli does depend on the game, if the game does not support it then you can't use sli.

just fyi

thanks, i have a lot to learn...

all the profile does is enable SLI, how well it scales is a different story, that is up to the engine/game.
