Finally ordered new gaming rig, what do you think?

After a lot of looking around, I finally ordered a PC from a custom making shop near me. specs are:

Intel i7 920 2.66Ghz

X-58 Motherboard

6GB RAM

Nvidia Geforce GTX 295

1TB Hard Drive

Blu Ray Reader/Writer

Antec 900 Case

24inch Samsung 1920x1200 monitor

Out of ten??

7/10 For uber Enthusiast)
9/10 For Enthusiast Build :D (REALLY Awsome) Stronger then mine if you overclock you need cpu cooler such as Thermalright 120 extreme or Megalem ;)

but you should buy the True + Two Fan of 120mm : the Megalaems i heard is bigger then : Thermalrgiht 120 Extrem so : you need a Gigantic Case else lol
such as : HAF 932 / Thermatlake Armor full

AWESOME!

Nice to see you are doing justice to the GPU with the 24"

Maybe another GPU? :P lol

Haha thanks, yeah I was first going to go with 2x GTX 260 but I thought I'd get the 295 so I can upgrade...maybe in a years time :D

And I wont be overclocking right now marcth, but thanks for the info incase i need to in the future

Well anyway, I think the processor is good enough for me, in the future when DX 11 comes around I'll just need another 295 in SLI maybe and its fine

what are your specs though?

I think its a Corsair 1000W PSU...Well im not sure its Corsair but its def 1000W incase I need another GPU.

Should max all settings Crysis at 1920x1200 right? (not including AA etc)

i just built mine yesterday.

i7 920 with monsoon 3 cooler

antec 900

gtx260 black edition

6gb tri channel 1600 ram

evga x58 mobo

samsung 22"monitor

i love it so far.

just out of curiosity how much did your cost and where did you get it?

I got it from a custom computer store near me, you wouldn't know them they're just a local business, but they do make excellent PC's made to your specification.

And I saved a good amount over buying from Alienware (which is what I was first planning), it cost me about £2200 inc. the monitor and warranty (It also had some other bits like a TV Tuner and SoundBlaster Card which made it more expensive). Not a bad deal.

cool, im super into mine now, i dont know how i ever lived without a gaming/high end pc. i spent about 1600 on my build sans monitor which my wife bought me. i splurged on some non necessary things though like a g9 mouse and g11 keyboard, even though i love them both.
