Hmmmmm thats definitely good to hear. What you mean "Bump things up"? I still can't believe the new consoles are almost here. hahah I have both a ps3 and Xbox360 too think that they'll be last gen in less than a year or so is crazy too me, time flyyyysss!
Oh and ill be using a terabyte of External harddrive space for everything. The SSD is for booting my comp and putting maybe 2 games on that ill be playing all the time. and the 250gb internal is just for games and documents. Thats plenty. EVERYTHING else will go on my external.
Thanks guys for the responses. But now my question to you all is. If im spending 1500 on a pc, i want it to have some longevity. If i cut back on the board, the processor, and the ram, (the ram is way too high i dont need that much), then im dating my pc already over a year, and ill have a super sweet graphics card in return. When I started building this Rig list I was only planning on spending like 800 bucks. But i have a problem with getting my moneys worth. Ill buy a huge jar of mayonnaise because its cheaper per qt etc. So as I build this shopping cart I realized "Oh for 50 bucks more I can have a board that came out this year, oh if I get this mother board I need a new processor to fit, okay 100's not too bad." Then everything was just down hill from there. SO now i took a step back and am trying to make sure this is going to be a invest worth investing. I want this to be decently good till the end of 2013 and then start falling down the ladder. (If possible) I mean we can all agree that being a hardcore PC gamer is a lot of work. Because its worse then apple, new things are coming out every few months and always making slight improvements. SO you can never have the best. I just want something thats going to last. I understand getting the better GPU will make everything sexier, but by the end of 2013 all my internal equipment if I cut back will be so decrepit and impotent except for my GPU. So is it really worth it? I wouldnt lease a 2010 car in 2012. Thats how I look at it. Haha I mean I really wouldnt be saving money, im just substituting savings for a better GPU. THANK YOU!
You know after reading this http://www.digitaltrends.com/computing/getting-ready-to-cross-ivy-bridge-the-laymans-guide-to-intels-latest-processors/ On ivy bridge, its probably going to lower my entire build total. I mean it'll be the next best installment. So either way ill wait till ivy bridge comes out, rumors April 23rd!
okay that thing is ****in scary... If you had the money to spend id just buy a car for 19gz and spend 3gz left over on a crazy pc that could prob do similar feats lol
With downgrading the ram ill save $30 and the z68 theres a lot of different ones, I dont know where to begin, but id have to change my processor and everything else, so id be cutting back on everything anyways. :l HMMMMmmmMMmmm Will ivy bridge make a big difference? Whats its advantage besides more transistors.
