Battlefield 3 Build Time!

[drunken_chef]

you can spend 3k on a PC. but, if you talk on TS while playing someone will spank you?

[harpy]

Nice computer. The spanking comment above was weird. But that's ok. Weird is good.

P.S.
If it disappears it wasn't me.

Benchmarks? Never really been into that. Mostly because the one time I did 3d mark 10 I BSOD'd and uninstalled it.

As for money, I spent a very good chuck of my bank account. I am not rich, I am your typical PC gamer that is living off ramen noodles and owns a PC that is worth all his lively possessions combined!

My only logic is I can get a couple hundreds for my old PC. And I like that one "What's the point of having money if I am not going to enjoy it?"

As for you thieves, BRING IT ON! I sleep right next to it. Sometimes we cuddle. I am soon to replace its liquid cooling with my own (ayeeooooo)

Wow
Post of the month!

We all love looking at and reading about PC hardware, thank you for the info and the photos of the build.

I know when I was building my own servers for this place, I finally discovered that building the latest, greatest and cutting edge allowed the computers to last much longer, than building a value server.

I might take your cue and my next PC build be a fire breather cutting edge beast.

Very nice PC!

I'm really skeered to even ask what that is about.

I told you guys he has no life. He really needs a girlfriend. He's turning out to be your stereotypical geek.\

But he built a damn fine machine though. 2 580's in SLI. I dont think 5000 Xboxs hooked up together could draw that much juice. Thats a lots a GPU.

Speaking of Xboxs, dont you know console kiddies wish they had that much gaming power at their command. I dont care what anyone says, PC gamers will always rule.

BTW how are those PNY's? I'll purchase EK waterblock for my Asus Direct CU II today. But i was wodnered how those PNY perform? Can u run som benches? FurMark if its possible? Than max overclock They seems like a great solution for people who doesnt want to build custom water cooling.

They really are top of the line. Idle at 33c max at 60c. Used that little burn in furmark thing. The scores on furmark though keep on changing according to res. So I didn't really understand it. You should definitely get it.

I already have 2 Asus Direct CU II , ill get waterblocks for them, since i have 2 loops of custom water cooling in my PC

Just run Furmark and post it. We'll cipher.

I'm sorry. Due to my gaming schedule, I always have a person sleeping a few feet away from me. I do not want to wake them up as I do not want another sore bottom.

ok, I'll admit that I'm hoping that the soreness is from spanking.

Wow. I am officially green with envy. Not only of the rig itself but of the know how to build it. I could probably afford to buy something like that but never could I piece it together. I actually have a clip of my friend and I upgrading my computer last year.

OK I am a bit curious. Why buy a graphics card that is pretty much more expensive for its special cooling. So that card has a custom heatsink and 2 fans and takes up 3 slots. What you are going to do is take that custom heatsink and replace it with your custom water cooling loop. That makes very little sense to me. I would think you should be getting the cheapest 580 and then adding your liquid along with overclocking it. Do explain it to me, please.

@Rico, broski, my first build I pretty much studied the mobo manual and on this build I pretty much opened it once to figure out the whole SATA set up thing. It is very easy. Very, very easy. Unless you get a dead part, then you're screwed.

Thanks for the comments guys

Lol, I think your first mistake there, Rico, was trying to upgrade an iMac (i-anything).
