k so i finally got fed up with having POS computers that can run any thing to save there lives. i looed at buying a gaming pc, but i quickly realized i dont have the kind of money to spend on them (nor do i want to spend that much on them; what i looked at wouldve been 4,000 USD).

I know that we have several computer-smart people on Ren, and i was wondering if i could get your help. what im looking for is a list of components (GPU, hard drives, mother boards, processors, etc.) that i will need to build this thing. ill have help actually assembling my pc (knowing a guy who works at a computer store FTW), but if anyone would like to help me out with a list of what ill need, it'd be greatly appreciated!

I assembled this while being a tired swede, so don't blame me if it's all crappy and stuff. lol

hex-core or bust :3

thank you both!

but dum, i was surprised you didnt say gtx580? you no likey anymore?

also @irands chassis, kind of an lol moment, i saw the phantom several months agi and decided then thats what i was using lol.

Thought you wanted something cheap.

Also irand, there's an SSD in that build you silly donkey.
I'll put together something expensive for you crazy, just hold on.

LOL dum, 6 core processor. lol....

oh btw the corsair 240 pin gig 8 somethin or other ma jig, is that ram? or am i bein retarded

yep i was right both ways, its ram, and im retarded. derp.

als dum, in your latest list, why the heck do oyu have me getting FOUR 7970's?

YEAH HEX CORE!! For the video card you really only NEED one, NVIDIA GeForce 580 if you has teh money or 550 if you don't has the money. A good 550 can be easily a couple hundred less than a 580 and I can run skyrim on high settings easily with my one 550

Or you do it the smart way and get a 7950, it's marginally cheaper and performs better than a 580. (Maxed out settings Minecraft = 300+FPS, Maxed out setting + GLSL shaders + 128x tex pack = 70FPS)

yea, as of now, ima go with the XFX 7970. but heres a question, i found one 7970, just normal whatev, then i found one that looks like it has dual fans on it. any major difference in performance?
