im aiming for 3 years . the only thing i plan on reusing for the next rig is the psu. yeah i went with the 6 cores because i do a lot of graphic art rendering, more so than gaming. but the fan advice is solid. I have an old antec, the design that made them popular back in 2002. i have 3 fans set up right now, i guess ill fill up the fan slots in my case and add another two fans. this is what my case looks like: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v281/shizzits/nxy.jpg(i painted the case, tinted the window, and added the fan controller in the top) if i cant tame the heat that way, i guess ill have to do what everyone else does... remove the side panel and prop a big house fan to blow directly on everything lol. i didnt build the intel because i wanted to keep the price below 2300. i spent the bulk of my money on video cards, ram, monitor, and hdds. i was aiming for around 250 but i decided to gamble with the 6 core, we'll see if the future proves this a wise gamble. if not i can always upgrade! and yeah i think i will send the seitek back. though everything else shipped and it didnt. its order is a little odd so i dunno, maybe it wont get sent at all. i didnt realize it had no antighost among other things. oh well, if nothing else it was only $60. i can just buy a different one if it comes down to it.

its all good man, and i appreciate the advice. i am a little sad that i cant take it, because i placed the order before you posted. lol, oh well. spent about $2300 including peripherals and an ipod touch. haha yeah. but like i said, i want this new setup up to be feasible for a few years. when i built my current system with a 450W PS, it was overkill, back in 2003. now its nothing, and the same will eventually happen with this PS too.

yeah i have the case part covered, it will be taking over the current ATX-form factor case im using. I know some of the stuff is overkill, but im hoping that i can manage to get a few years out of this before i can no longer play games at acceptable frame rates. thanks for the input guys. it will ship whenever they start shipping, i guess tuesday. also getting a new monitor (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16824001389) and a new keyboard (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16823175001). gonna put windows 7 on it. ill post some pics when it gets in.

basically building a new computer. if someone could look it over and let me know if everything will work out that'd be awesome. not particularly interested in advice for product choice. 875W PS - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817153128 12GB OCZ DDR3 1333 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820227538 Creative sound card - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16829102024 2x HD 5770 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150447 WD 1TB HDD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136284 Kingston 64GB SSD - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139133 AMD Phenom II X6 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103849 DFI mobo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813136067 Zalman HSF - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835118019 DVD drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136169 thanks for your time. should have this by late next week.

if you're active it shouldn't be a problem to find out you won. ;)

your name is mad dogg, and you want a crappy gangsta' skin. if i could see you in person i would lol.

i couldn't take it anymore... i did take the opportunity to make a bigger avy than before though.

im in, only because i plan to use this avatar long after everyone gets bored of it and changes their own. whenever i stare at it i feel like it speeds up, shit is messing with me lol.

how to fill their time you ask?? maybe with real crimes? there are a lot of them going on everyday. also, i absolutely do not believe that the police have busted people on steam for hacking accounts. you say that police have and it's just that no news agency would ever report it... how the fuck did you find out about this happening again? i think you are getting confused with valve taking action against hackers. action which does not involve going to jail btw lol

so what im taking away from this is that if you are on ttt, and we are traitor buddies, i should kill you before you ruin my round.

here is how it works. to go after someone in the first place, police have to find out that a law has been broken and who broke it - this costs money and time. then they would have to prosecute which takes even more time and money. do you honestly think any police force would waste resources on a recreational game being hacked? come back to reality bro.

you really think the feds would go after someone who hacked a steam account??? wow you should reconnect with reality when you get the chance.

the symbols are fairly opaque as it is, including the fact that you can see the symbol through other objects. not to mention the fact that when you put your crosshair over a traitor you get a red circle and red text stating that they are your teammates. if you rarely look at people's names when you are a traitor that is your problem. adjust your gameplay style to account for this? the only possible fix i can think of is turning your gamma down so bright isnt too bright.

yeah is this a joke? he's crashing a server that is barely ever populated? kudos to you budd. do itttttt

HAHAHAHA i lol'd at the cougar driving a cougar mobile.

this isnt mg2. they are just moving the server to a new IP.

thanks to everyone who donated! SUPER FUCKING THANKS to the people who regularly donate large amounts of money.
