It's me... again!!

So with this mysterious money in play, what's your budget? There's an item or two that I'm eyeing...

for the 920 you should really go with the 1333 but since the ocz 1600 is cheaper then the 1333 go with the ocz, your ram is under warranty anyways.

we had a big run of bad sticks form corsair back in the ddr2 systems, ocz took its place just fine, I think still most of the bad ram we see on the forum is corsair.

instead take that money and get a better psu which is more important, so get the 1000w.

go with evga mobo as suggested, this is a better pc for $30 more:

here you go Ticket# 231023 --- Price: $2894 (To see this build click here)

the haf comes with all fans stock so no fan ugrade is needed.

not sure why you had doubts that the 295 can handle your resolution, 295 is build for high res and one will do up to 2560 x 1600, for higher then that you would need 2 x 295 or 3 x 285.

Originally posted by Dredoric Oh, and as for the video cards... I think 2 285gtx > 1 295gtx > 2 260+

the above statement is correct

its been a pleasure, good luck

I'm just covering my bases before I give Sarah a call on Monday =)

you guys are killing me

you in the background will even be better, only thing better then that would be you and your gf in the background being told that the PC replaced a possible ring for her, and then the pic is taken right at that moment

Alright guys, the computer has been officially updated with these specs:

why you paying more then my config and getting slower ram?

first chance you get upgrade HDD1 to a veloci raptor and use the 500GB as HDD1 for media/personal files

but why pay more for a slower ram? there is nothing in OCZ that would make me want to get a slower corsair, specially when both are under the same exact warranty anyways, I don't know upto you, I just would never do that.

but the OCZ is cheaper and faster, what is the difference when they both have the same warranty? also in this forum we have seen much more bad ram from corsair then we have from OCZ, just check the forum, you will see for a few month all we recommended was OCZ because corsair was crapping out.

It just makes no sense to me to more for a slower ram vs less for a faster ram, when the warranty is exactly the same on both.

I'm not sure who gave you that recommendation, but with all due respect, bad recommendation.

well I understand that, and if the faster did not cost less then the slower ram I would say nothing, however in this case you are paying more to get less.

Sarah is literally going to beat me over the head repeatedly with the stick of RAM when I call her... I need to call up DS for something else anyways... *prepares for beating* XD

Although I know that, I still feel quite bad about hassling them so much

Ahhhh so that's what that option was in the DS configuration lol XD! That's a neat little thing but I'm ok without it =)... plus... I don't even know what half of those ports do! Haha XD

Sarah, seems you're busy at the moment, and plus it's near closing for you. I left you a message with my number, we can chat tomorrow =)! Thanks though <3

very nice

*Runs away with her imaginary money tree you think she has and doesn't look back* Neva!!!
