Need to know the cost of this Rig here at DS

Welcome aboard

you have to call DS on Monday and ask them that, you have some stuff that is not in the config page, which is not a problem at all for them, but we would not know the cost of use for those parts.

can I ask you what your budget is and what resolution you gonna be gaming at?

emmn so why are you getting an old system boss? I can put you in a much better faster sytem then the one you listed.


also who told you that you need 2 x 295 for that resolution?

single 295 is like 2 gpus, it can handle your resolution just fine, with fps over 60, which is all you need for smooth experience.

here you go Ticket# 243501 --- Price: $2728 (To see this build click here)

this system will handle what ever you throw at it, its the brand new technology out, it has room to be upgraded.

down the road you can upgrade the CPU to a i7 975, which in turn will give you a better OC speed, when you are ready, DS will help you with all of it, install, OC, etc.

you can upgrade your HDD to a SSD or veloci raptor, the HAF can hold 6 optical drives and 5 HDDs.

you can add another 295 if you should need one.

the i7 920 is faster then the qx9770, as you know the qx9770 is better then the Q9650.

this mobo comes with 8.1 integrated sound

you are getting more ram (6GB vs 4GB) and faster ram too (1333MHz vs 1066MHz)


oh ya before I forget, you get another $150 off the price above

NP if you have any questions let me know, just so you know I don't work for DS, I'm just a customer, but if you take a quick look around you will see they are such a great company that you can't compare anybody else to them, they truly bent over back wards to make sure the customer is happy.

for your money this is a much better system

I was pritty much in the same boat you are in, was looking around at builds and company's and dst4me helped me out (like many others) and I should have my rig next week. So far DS has been hands down the best support, price, and quality (dont know about quality yet but hear its the best, but I guess I will be the judge in a week) and I have never been so excited about a computer coming and you can call and ask them anything and they will help you right away.

Like eta on rig or whatever your question may be. So far I am way happy with ds just over excited about its arrival so go with dst4me build through ds and I dont think you will regret it and you will blow your friends machines outa the water, just watch G4's review on the front page

Hold on a second now, 8.1 sound does not suck, if sound is very important to you then go with a sound card but these day with these 8.1, sound is pretty good.

well what I'm saying is that the on-board which is a 8.1 is pretty good, some people don't care that much about sound, even when I did play games on the PC the sound was not that important to me.

I agree that the sound card provides better sound quality, thats a given, but I can't say that the on-board 8.1 sound is horrible.

I hear ya buddy, I just purchased a pair of Astro A40's because my unit is soooo loud.. I might as well just put one of these next to it..

I am still thinking about getting the second GTX 295.  I will most likely buy a 26" or 28" monitor and want to make sure that the video card will not hold me back.  I also read this in the DS website, question 4.

What do you think?  Also any input on the monitor?

Thanks

e06028, the system I build for you, can hanlde another 295 gtx just fine.

however if I were you I would wait till I got the new monitor and then get the second card if you need it.

later prices will be lower, right now you will pay full price.

My pleasure boss

No, we have asked manytimes and they won't enable it

DS is very cool about this stuff, one of very few forums you can freely speak your mind about these things.

normally the difference should not be more then two to three hunderd if you use the same exact parts and build it yourself, which fair.

what is the difference you are finding?

I thought about building myself also.  But having them warranty the Overclock and dealing with any issues during stress testing made the decision for me.  My machine is going through an intense stress test as I am typing this.  If something blows or just doesn't act right, DS will just deal with it and take care any problems before I receive my new dream machine.

To me.. The cable management job they do alone is worth 200 bucks ... Alot of people get overwhelmed with the wires, so you should definitley think about how well you can manage cables.
