Is the stock cooler on the card i chose that bad? Couldn't i get by with just that? Then again, i did have to buy an nvSilencer for my current card (6800GT).
I don't think i'll be overclocking my video card unless i have to. I don't need to do that if i'm OCing my CPU/RAM do i?
I think...
So the top vent already has screw holes for an 80mm fan, right? That's cool.
But the side vent i don't think does...how would i attach a 120mm fan to that? Would i have to drill holes in the case? not sure i want to do all that.
Thanks, i think i understand. Maybe i don't even need to get to 3.0ghz. I have a P4 3.0ghz now but a core2duo is a whole different animal....right?
Or i could just spend a bit more and get the e6400 instead. But i probably would never know the difference eh?
No can do. The supplier doesn't have a lot of choices and they've already shipped the order. Since it's not costing me anything i will take what i get with the ram. I should be able to cool it enough. And i've read of others OCing with these pretty decently.
The reason i want 512 is so...
I don't know much about modding a case and i don't have the money to pay someone to do it either. If i was to put a fan (80mm i'm guessing?) is there already pre-drilled screw holes? Same goes for the side vent. That would be a blower for the PCI card right? How do i attach a 120mm fan to...
Thanks Boyo! As i said in the previous post though, i already have this RAM on order. Should i still get the Heatsinks for them since they don't have them stock?
That case does look nice, but i'm dead set on a black case...maybe this one? black lian li. Then again, this is almost twice the...
Thanks! That is very helpful.
Unfortunately, i've already got the RAM on order from another stoare...but only because someone is buying it for me. So I'm saving a lot of money there. I know that Crucial will overclock a little and i should still be able to reach the 3ghz with it. Not a...
Hello everyone. I was hoping to get some opinions and suggestions for this new build i'm planning. It's mainly for gaming. Please see my newegg wishlist for the components:

Anyone know how i can make this setup cheaper without sacrificing anything...
since i have a 19" FP I try to use 1280x1024. But in most new games I can't turn up my gfx to high nor can i enable any AA/AF without severe performance loss.
My hope is that if i installed a x1950 that i would be able to crank those settings up.
I'm interested in upgrading my video card with this when it comes out, but i want to make sure my system won't bottleneck it before i waste my money. I currently have a BFG 6800GT OC (that's not overclocked) and it really doesn't cut the mustard anymore for the newer games. If anyone can tell me...
