I love in-ear headphones. I have this pair. Me when I read your post.

I ran a 4x800, 800, and 4x400. We won all 3 (anchoring both relays), and I PR'd with 52.4 in the 400. Not too shabby for a tuesday meet :thumbup:

It may be a little while.. Testing season is fast approaching. Anyway, I like the ssd idea too. I'm probably going to expand the budget a little; keeping it under $1500 with the card I want + the processor I want is unrealistic. Does anyone have experience with SLI? Any opinions on the graphics card? And finally.. Any last opinions on the cpu?

I really like the new layout options.

Hmm, I'll look at that. I updated the first post to reflect where I'm at right now.

I don't plan on going SLI (the 590 should take anything I throw at it for a loong time). How about this intel processor? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070 On second thought.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072 Would that be okay? Cutting a little cost would be nice since I'm splurging on the 590. I lose 100mhz and hyper-threading support for $90 in savings. Yes/no? On to moar ram: http://[Censored - Don't use a URL shortner]/f2OKt I'm thinking the patriot.

Be attacked, so I can rightfully respond and not be charged with starting an intergalactic war. Make your last stand against zombies holed up with no ammo but an axe or in the open with 50 rounds in a hunting rifle?

tim - I've thought about the processor at length.. I was originally thinking an i7 but I like this a lot: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103923 I've heard a lot of people say that intels at lower clock speeds beat AMD.. not sure why. Can anyone else give me factual evidence on this? and as for the ram, I was siding with 4gb of ram. I could go for 8, but I rarely ever come close to filling 4gb, so speed > volume for me. psykick - What's too small about the motherboard? I only need 1 PCIe x16 slot for the graphics card, and that mb has everything else I need. Oh well, might as well turn this into a build-a-comp thread. I want a great gaming computer at $1500 or under. I KNOW this is overkill. But.. I want it. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130630 Other than that I haven't looked at getting other parts yet.

Here's his stats: http://hiscore.runescape.com/hiscorepersonal.ws?user1=el_pita I can has stalking levelup? Anyway, knowing nothing about soloing arma, I agree with the above setup.

Okay. I have 4 decisions to make before I go ahead with planning everything else. AMD vs. Intel - this amd cpu vs this intel cpu. It seems that everyone is leaning Intel on this one. GTX 590 vs Radeon 6990 vs SLI vs Crossfire? - BIG IMAGES; HALP [hide] Originally I was looking at the GTX 590; extremely fast, quiet compared to what I heard the 6990 was like. It seems like the 590 is slightly better. But then, why not sli two 570s for the same price? [/hide] SSD - Yes/no? Going completely SSD is not something I want to do, but I was wondering how much a boost it would be to install windows on a small (30gb?) ssd as well as a few startup programs, and then use a normal 7200 drive for games/storage. How much of an effect on gaming will a 10k have over a 7200 HDD? RAM - Overclocking and whatnot In his last post, spork says he heard buying ram past 1600 is pointless because you can just overclock it. Any truth to this?

Frost dragons are a good place to ovl too, especially if you want to melee (which is faster).

It was just a class thing. I won, got extra credit for our team, glory over some other kid who only got 103, then ate 5 slices of Pi. I feel like posting a rl picture, but my camera is downstairs...

I'm writing a Beloved research paper.......................... On an unrelated note I'm making a new poster for my wonderful english teacher.

Did I mention I have ~160 digits of pi memorized still from a random competition? :cool:

Inverted.

[puncture]ly edit: sigh.

I'm not sure if this is because of the new CDN, but recently I've had a lot of problems with loading styles; about half the time the first time I visit a page on the forums it loads in plaintext with no styling.

Still can't believe I missed it. :sad: Congrats again, you're hot, and I should finally be able to start playing this week :thumbup:

OH, FML. Grats!

Ouch. I haven't been having a lot of luck with good jobs either. It's 10 at night but I really want a sandwich now.

Negative.

AMG what kind what kind? Yes Rob :thumbup:
