beaker Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 I feel like this may be a fantasy build. I never like to spend more than 500 on a computer at once, mainly because it all depriciates so fast. I got my 1366 mobo/cpu off CL 3 years ago for 150. I've just never been able to spend that much on my own stuff. That and I'm a cheapass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyG2 Posted December 13, 2012 Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 My original computer back in '06 was $900 and I've only upgraded parts step-by-step since than. *New vehicle and system coming soon.* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just never been able to spend that much on my own stuff. That and I'm a cheapass sorry to burst your bubble but this isn't a fantasy build.. i have always enjoyed having high end computers and when i built and purchased my XPS 630, it was high end at the time. yes i know everything goes down hill quick with technology and new stuff being developed and brought out all the time. but i imagine with this setup being picked out, it'll stay at the top for a year and half. maybe more ( hoping 3 years). i am very close to the end of upgrading my XPS 630 and could proable put more in it but frankly, im tired of staring at this dam case which is big enough to be a dam server. ( which is what it'll become when the new one gets built) My build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/143943-2001-mustang-gt-system-rebuild-box-build-pics-updated-61512/ 2001 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 SOHC 380HP 270 amp Mechman alt 2 12" Treo SSX custom built. 6.47 cu ft, tuned to 32Hz 2 hifonics Brutus 2400.1, strapped 1 optima yellow top 1 Kinetic HC1800 14.4v @ 29Hz, 2k RPM over 100ft 1/0 XS flex wire Big 3 in 1/0 100sq ft fatmat deadener 145.3 on music, 142.6 sealed on music Stop being a pussy and wall it off.

boostin302 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2012 im going to stay with my 580, it doesnt have cooling issues with it atm so i shouldnt need to water cool it. im only playing on water cooling the CPU and do case fans My build log http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/143943-2001-mustang-gt-system-rebuild-box-build-pics-updated-61512/ 2001 Ford Mustang GT 4.6 SOHC 380HP 270 amp Mechman alt 2 12" Treo SSX custom built. 6.47 cu ft, tuned to 32Hz 2 hifonics Brutus 2400.1, strapped 1 optima yellow top 1 Kinetic HC1800 14.4v @ 29Hz, 2k RPM over 100ft 1/0 XS flex wire Big 3 in 1/0 100sq ft fatmat deadener 145.3 on music, 142.6 sealed on music Stop being a pussy and wall it off.

beaker Posted December 14, 2012 Report Share Posted December 14, 2012 If you're going to go SSD, get 2, and put them in RAID0 I know it sounds silly, but if you have the money, get 4 750gb laptop drives and a hot swap 5.25 case and do a RAID5, you'll be happy if one drive dies, and with 4 you can easily sustain 200+meg/sec from the array. Current SATA3 controllers, on a good mobo that has at least 2x on the PCI-E bus for the SATA will do sustained reads of over 1000meg/sec with 2 SSD's. I'm partial to the Crucial M4's from my testing it has the best hardware garbage collection, making it suited best for RAID. You shouldnt have any issues running the 580, unless you're running over 1920x1080 or multiple monitors, you wont see much of a benifit going to a 680.
