Wait for ivy bridge. There's no reason to cash up at the moment, as your i3-2100 is very fine. : P

but I want more fine hahaha.

Yeah, I'm really anticipating waiting until ivy, but if my GF decides to buy me the 2500k for christmas, am I going to tell her her to gtfo? I think not...

What mobo you got?

So. Guys. Now that we know what everyone have - What will the next thing you get be?
I will add two screens next.

I'd like a full HD 1920x1080 monitor, no larger than 24".

An Asus Xonar DS or whatever the nice $90~ one is.

I also want to build like a 32-bit based computer so I can run old games like Age of Empires, Roller Coaster Tycoon, and such.... I miss them and my current computer won't properly install and/or run them.

Since every1 pretty much knows much about setups.

Little question

I7-2600
4gb memory
Radeon HD 6870

How would this run WoW on 1920x1080?

You could drop down to the 2500(k) (i7 only has hyperthreading over the i5, which isn't worth it for gaming) and yes, it will run it

Oh hell yeah Roller Coaster Tycoon... I wasted so much time playing that game back in high school... wonder if I still have the install disc laying around.

If you're asking me, my sig has all my rig details.

I'm planning on consolidating my ISA and AD servers into one box (Linux host OS running VMWare with separate ISA, AD/DNS/DHCP, Exchange, and FS VM's), which would free up my old E8400 w/ 4GB DDR2. Since you mentioned that, I might have to setup an old WinXP box for classic stuff myself.

Well yeah its a full package wich makes me unable to change that, just wondering if it would work properly. Its a cheap thats why i am asking not rlly into specs but my current pc is just runnign 25mans @ 8fps :P time for a new one.

±700 dollar doesnt sound 2 bad imo.

I'm thinking a computer like Fuzzy's $500 budget build with Win7 32 bit would do the trick, right?

Is it 700 bucks for just a CPU, memory, and video card?

If so...

2600K - $310
6870 - $195
4GB DDR3 - $40

It's a ripoff.

Some things refuse to install properly even on the awful 32bit version of Win7.

1.6 GHz, I hope, and not 1.6MHz.

Worth the price. At least if it's a new one.

Here's my setup, I've usually got everything rather clean but it's after a small LAN party at my place..



I truly dislike any neons and shit in my computer, but the case is open as my setup needs "slightly" more airflow than what it's got with case closed currently. Also waiting on new desk either way to put my setup on and probably getting a second 24" screen and faster ram to clock my CPU higher (I've got 2 E8400 so if one blows.. I'll put another in). :3

Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU E8400 @ 3.00GHz (2 CPUs), ~3600MHz
Memory: 4096MB RAM
Hard Drive: 660 GB Total
Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 6870 DirectCU 1GB
Monitor: Benq G2400WD
Speakers/Headphones: Koss PortaPro
Keyboard: Razer Arctosa
Mouse: Logitech MX518
Mouse Surface: SteelSeries
Operating System: Windows 7 ROG (64 Bit)
Motherboard: MSI P43 Neo-F

Looks awesome. Btw, did you mirror those images? The mouse and keyboard aren't mirrored. I've never before seen a setup with a window on that side.. I mean.. is the front of the computer back? Did you flip the MoBo around in a weird.. what.. how? Stop messing with my head! Explain? ^^

Its the silverstone raven case, those cases have the motherboards rotated 90 degrees and they are mounted on the other side of the case instead.

It is a long ass case hehe, power supply is mounted in the back at the top too I believe. They are actually pretty neat cases, the cooling in them is really nice especially if you have huge GPUs, they get ALOT more air blown directly between and around them with that case, and it even has room I believe for a fairly decent size radiator too I believe

I see. Had me turning my head inside-out.

As much as I hated getting my basement flooded.... it did clear up my pallet to work with. With a fully cleaned room here, I went to work. This is what I'm using now. Chair is out of the picture just so you can see generally everything. ^_<
