Also versus, will the case be big enough for the video card? In the reviews for it people say its fuckin huge.
Re: Building a new computer and need help - Versus - 01-26-2011
if you're concerned, this is the full tower version.

If you get a 6950, use this tutorial to turn it into 6970.

this is my current wishlist.

you have more than enough to add a monitor to that. you could also drop 1 of the 2TB HDDs to use somewhere else.

Oh God that's sexy.
The 4TB storage space seems a little ridiculous to me though, and the case, while very nice, wouldn't be my personal choice. An HAF X, Thermaltake ArmorPlus, or Antec 1200 would probably be what I would go for (if I absolutely had to have a side window of some sort). And an OS is needed.
Some other things you might want to consider:
- Multiple screens.
- A gaming mouse pad to match your mouse.
- Dedicated sound card.
- A chair, since you mentioned needing a new one.
- Wireless card - Cheap, but you might want one as a backup.
- Extra LED lighting. Cheap, but fun. Also highly unnecessary.
- Nice headphones/ headset/ speakers. Especially if it's paired with a dedicated sound card.
- Blu Ray player. I'd never use it, but maybe you've been itching to buy the blu ray box set of Blue Planet.
- A netbook. No, I'm not kidding. There might be a day when you want to use a word processor or browse the internet outside of your room.
- A nice webcam, for all your home-made porn needs.
- A good thumb drive.
- Games to play on your new rig, if the discount covers them.

I've got 7TB of space, I'm using 6.3 of it.

Triple monitor. You know you want to see what it's like.

10TB here, but then again, a lot goes missing on redundancy...
Re: Building a new computer and need help - Versus - 01-29-2011
i really don't think a dedicated sound card is necessary. i bought an auzentech x-fi prelude 7.1 for $200 when i built this computer, and frankly i don't think i could tell the difference between it and my mobo's onboard sound. i'd have to try it again, but onboard sounds fine with $200 headphones.
i want that chair, my current one is kind of a pos and i can't even find the things to reattach the arms to it.
besides dropping one of the HDDs to save money, you could also probably get the same mobo from my previous list and get one of the cheaper cases didzo recommended. that alone would free up a few hundred dollars to use elsewhere.

I got an XFI and I can tell the difference between it and the onboard Asus, if you have an extra $150 - $200, I'd go for it
Re: Building a new computer and need help - Coelit - 01-29-2011
