I am planning on ordering a gaming desktop from you next month. I have done a fair ammount of research and utilized your forums. As I am currently deployed to Afghanistan i have a difficult time keeping up with the changes and new posts. I want a gaming computer for single 1900x1200 res, for WOW, SCII and COD mainly Ticket: 520639
Budget: about $4,500
I have three main questions.
1. I want a LC system. Can I get the Frost Chill system with a video card cooling loop? How much would that be with the GPUs listed below ? 2. Intel 320 v Intel MLC X25 which is faster for gaming in the 160GB field? 3. there are so many opinions on GPUs. right now I am torn between GeForce 590x1, 580x1, or 580x2 SLI Thank you for your help! Sincerely, |

Intel 320 will be faster, and cheaper. |

1. CPU and GPU, CPU only, GPU only, w/e, makes no difference. They're all orderable.
3. Dual 580s will overpower a single 590. Pricewise, I dunno though. Current leader in value is the GTX 570. |

The guys answered your questions, I will provide bit of info.
for your res sli 570 is all you need, forget 590, its a single card with 2 gpus, its clocked lower due to heat, and gets beaten by 2 single cards. Here you go Ticket# 521234 --- $3705 (To see this build click here) Copy of Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - Black OPS HailStorm Edition Exterior Finish: - Standard Factory Finish Trim Accents: - Standard Factory Finish Processor: Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40GHz (Unlocked CPU for Extreme Overclocking) (Quad Core) Motherboard: ASUS P8P67 Deluxe (Intel P67 Chipset) (New & Improved B3 Revision Without SATA 3G Issue) System Memory: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified Performance Series (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 1000W Corsair (Dual/Triple/Quad SLI Compatible) Expansion Bay: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (160GB Solid State (By: Intel) (Model: 320 Series SSDSA2CW160G3K5) Set 1 Raid Options: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: 1x (1TB Western Digital Caviar (7200 RPM) (64MB Cache) (Model: Black Edition WD1002FAEX) Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD-R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 24x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card: 2x SLI Dual (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.2GB (Includes PhysX Technology) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: H20: Stage 4: Sub-Zero LCS Cooling System: CPU Only H20 Tube Color:Blue Tubing with High-Performance Fluid (UV Lighting Reactive) Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (UV) (Creates Glowing Effect for H20 Tubes) Enhancements: - No Thanks Chassis Mods: - No Thanks Noise Reduction: - No Thanks Boost Processor: Stage 2: Overclock the processor between 4.5GHz to 5.2GHz (Liquid Cooling Upgrade Recommended) Boost Video Card: - No Thanks, Please do not overclock my video card(s) Boost Memory: Memory Fan Kit Only (Does not include memory overclocking service) Boost OS: - No Thanks, Please do not tweak the services on the operating system Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium (64-Bit Edition) Recovery Tools: Windows Recovery Toolkit (Bundled with Windows 7 CD) Virus Protection: - No Thanks Office: - No Thanks Benchmarking: - No Thanks Install/Test Game: FREE: Star Trek Online 10 Day Trial Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - No Thanks Keyboard: Razer Lycosa Gaming USB Desktop (Multimedia Keyboard) Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-15 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: Life-time Expert Customer Care with 3 Year Limited Warranty All the BS stuff that makes no difference and all the stuff that is basically waste of money has been removed, so if you don't see it in my build don't get it. as for your monitor I would go with this one instead if all you want to spend is around $300: Dell UltraSharp U2311H 23 if you want a real good and quality 27" then this is the one you want: dell24"Dell UltraSharp U27 if you go with this 27" then let me know as we will need to change your gpu setup, since it will have a much higher res. |
