What do you all think? I can’t really afford to spend much more but if you know of better products feel free to spit them out. Thanks.

awesome ex, the only thing that id look into maybe was a G90fb+ monitor too/

for that raidmax case too, you can get a nice lian li, and you know how those look after modding (drooling)

3

Thanks! Well I’m not crazy about the Lian’s, not being accostumed to using dremels and “nibbler” tools I don’t want to screw it up. I personally think they’re way over priced for a drab case but that’s just me.
goes to check out monitor

4

Pretty good moniter Z but I don’t see it being any better than the Samsung? Worse dot pitch for one.

5

i like the mobo selection.. im thinking of getting the same one :slight_smile:

6

B said to definately not buy an Epox and I tend to respect what he says. Also I would go higher on the video card.

7

I don’t like the case, makes me think of a acura. Motherboard-not too sure.

8

Ex you change your pc more than I changed my socks! :good: upgrade though

omg, $857.92 for all that, that will maKE one hell of an ace system, well better than my pentium 4 rust bucket anyway, wich is £483.934, wow that is very cheap, is it possible to build somthing like that for about the same price with just looking on uk online stores?

oh well with one of those processors the price then would be about £999 then, or with a 3500+ amd 64 it would be about £600, if its possible in uk stores.

10

I seriously doubt it. Everything is more expensive in Europe. I went over there and was paying 6 USD for a hamburger.

11

yeah its all relative, say the exchange rate is $1.50=£1 (for example) something in the US which costs $15 wont necessarily cost £10 in the U.K it could cost £15 or more over here making it more expensive over here.

12

Yea, exchange rates suck. Oh well. It also has to do with inflation. Don’t know too terribly much about economics though. At least I’m taking Principles of Business.

13

Man I thought that was like the ultimate mobo for the price. Everyone I’ve talked to on other sites seemed to think it was really slick. Gets great reviews on Newegg. I would just go with the DFI lanparty series but I’ve heard some bad things about stability:(
Yeah I do change my upgrade ideas a lot Nic:D
:P, yeah the case is an aquired case, I just find my current one to be a beast, a dying one at that with the lights going on me and the poor airflow. I sort of see what you mean about that case, I don’t really like the “head lights” either.
