    Well thats one Kickass rig you got there :good:, i have the same psu as yous, well dunno if yours is the modular version, but there deffenitly good PSU's, you got one ace graphics card, X1900XTX :good:, may i just say, its 48 Pixel Shaders, the X1900XTX has 16 pipes, just thought i would say :), you should of gone crossifire, dual X1900XT's and a Sapphire crossfire mobo :good:, but anyway that rig should serve you well :) get some pics of it in the case gallery :D

    wow, sound preety good, for my next upgrade i might go for that mobo, at the moment, my next upgrade has Intel, dunno if AMD will be back up there by time i upgrade but i will be going for an X1900XTX. I also recommend you look around the forum at overclocking, check some guides out, i heard core 2 duo cpu's are extreamly good at overclocking.

    I have to say, for 14, you got an amazing rig, i wish i had a rig like that :D, when i was 14 my main rig had a 1.2ghz celeron in it with 128mb of ram :p.

    I think 120FPS will be about right, its a preety detailed game, i thought it was more CPU intensive though.

    You got good upgradability there, latest cpu/skt, latest mobo's, latest graphics card, save abit more and you will be in crossfire :good: . Have you got lighting fans and other fancy stuff to make your rig look ace?

    :eek:, i am selling my XBOX for £200 if i can manage to mod it with a 160GB hdd, cant you even afford £40 for a new case, what about your parents, you can get some decent cases for £40.

    Hmmm, preety dear for a mobo, but i suppose its worth it seen as its got WiFi and the latest technology.

    Look at my case: it was around £40 when i got it, its got 3 temp sensors, front LED panel at front, with temps, the time, alarm and fan control.

    Totally killer rig man, I envy you big time. There's no need to get another X1900XTX, 1 will destroy and modern game, especially with the rest of that rig to back it up. And it's nice to at least have the option to add another if need be in the future.

    i think there are some differences with the 6800 model, i dont think its just clock speed, what clock speed is the cpu at with stock core?

    I don't know, 3+ GHz wouldn't suprise me at all, I hear the 65nm architecture has TONS of head room. It will be interesting to see what they do.
