liquid cooled

21.5 inche hd moniter

memory: 12gb ddr3 sdram at 1333MHz (6x 2048MB)

Yes. The computer is actually overkill. but 12 gb of ram? Are you crazy? You only need 6 max.

This also should have gone in the hardware section.

That's pretty over the top if you ask me, you'll never put 12GB of RAM to use even in 10 years time.

You only need 6 max.

No, it's not a good gaming computer, it's good NASA computer.

This belongs to PC Hardware discussions btw.

12gigs, wow nice. I guess all your games could run at 75+ frames per second

i said i envy his computer. Anyways you're thinking too one dimensional here. It's obvious to this dude, that m,oney was not a concern. Say what you want but you can't throw off the fact that this is one GOOD computer. And i'm guessing that was what the OP intended.

Also, For an i7 rig, 6 gigs is usually the recommended amount since i7 uses triple channgel not dual. So 12 gigs is ideal for anyone looking to be above the average. 12 gigs in an i7 system is not uncommon ;)

drop one of the 5870s and 6gb of RAM, get a bigger monitor and an SSD.

thats fasle since computing will double every 2 years, my quad core will be considered low end next year.
