Right then im planning to sell my current rig and build a new i7 one
i was just wondering what everyone thought of this parts list:

Coolermaster Cosmos S
P6t deluxe v2
i7 920 slebj
ocz 6gb ddr3 1866
xfx gtx 275 xxx
coolermaster ultimate ucp 1100w
1tb samsung spinpoint f1
pioneer dvd-rw
and watercooling (already have the parts)
total: £1065

will get another 275 later on
any parts need changing???

Just out of interest, what sort of price would you be looking for when you sell your current PC to make way for i7?

Anyway, I think that the 1100W PSU is overkill for the rig you're building (even with the second card in SLI) but I suppose it's a good brand and should last a while so the wattage may come in hand further on down the line. The case is excellent, as is the motherboard/CPU combo. The Spinpoint is another fantastic choice. Overall, it's a nice spec and you really seem to have done your homework.

its a long story but £750 with a q8200 and £780 with q9450
the rest of the rig as follows:
asus striker II extreme 790i
4gb corsair xms3 1600mhz ddr3
asus 9800gtx+ dark knight
500gb samsung spinpoint f1
pioneer dvd-rw
antec 1200 modded with blue side panel and custom window
antec 850w truepower quattro
cold cathodes galore
and lots of time on cable managment

im not going to sell it for a couple of weeks anyway becuase I need to get the money together to upgrade ohhh and there are pics here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=428&start=15



anyway back on subject i spend hour on these forums and dont post very often and yes i spend too much time doing my homework than doing real homework if u get what i mean

cheers boothy

You must have some money burning a hole in your pocket? stick with your 9450 setup and upgrade the GPU to the 275 and save your cash for a bigger jump.

so maybe just case and gpu i dont like my current case ??

Your whole rig looks [LIFTED] hot to be honest but me thinks your bored and in need of a new project.

Isnt that enough reason to upgrade?
It was in my hayday of "tinkering" and seeing how many mobo's and chips I could fry then I got married and most of that went out the window (no pun intented).

I was thinking more of a MOD project as he's not happy with his case... maybe

i was thinking of a mod project and then spunkymonkey (im his paperboy) said that i should stop farting about and get i7 lol
anybody got any ideas for a mod case???? my only preferances are that it can fit a 360 or a 240mm rad and i can fit my ek multioption 250 res and my d5 pump. ohhh and its got to fit my hardware im.

cheers boothy

i like these cases any ideas: maybe a white case black liquid white coils theme???

Sounds nice. I'm sure I've seen some black and white themed liquid-cooled mods before and from memory, they turned out quite nice. They only thing I would say to you is plan your mod carefully, it's all too easy to bodge something up and not be happy with the end result so plan as much as possible and take your time.

hang on thats £235 for that case. erm so thats the same price as the differece between selling my rig and i7. erm i dont need to say which im going to choose lol

well my paperboy,i certainly wouldnt spend £235 on a case and you know what im like with pc's/money.not to make you envious chris but that black and white watercooled theme sounds fantastic and thats what my new gaming case will become this afternoon ha ha ha

I would definitely stick with the current setup and mod it if you're not happy. No need to spend all that money when your existing setup is far from old.
