New Computer!!

[ChrisWW11]

Alright well I'm think of building a new computer and price is not a big factor so feel free to make any suggestions. So I would need quad core, quad sli, and 4 gigs of ram, a motherboard that would be able to support quad sli, and 2 hard drives that run on Raid whichever ones the fastest. Well that's basically it so if anyone has any other suggestions please post

nice selection Ryan, I'm really liking the case i am going to order the two 9800Gx2 and the cpu now i just have to find a good monitor I was thinking the Dell 30" http://accessories.us.dell.com/sna/p...9&sku=223-4890
i was wondering is this a good deal or should i go with the 27" one?

dell 30" ftw. I got the 24" (2407) When it first came out and love it.

That cooler master case is great and if you get the latest one it has the new enthusiast standard were it integrates with the mobo and fans.

The Cosmos ESA case looks pretty sweet. I just got a "In Stock" alert from FrozenCPU for that case.

If your spending that much on a case i'd look at Silverstones range.

I prefer the Silverstone myself I was able to look at one in the Micro Center I went to and it was a quality case. Anothe nice case that i saw there was the Thermaltake Armor.

I'd say the 27" over the 30". Even a pair of monster 9800GX2s will have issues driving that beast (due to the ultra high resolution) on things like Crysis and likely other future DX10 games. then again, I don't like having to choose between maximum prettiness and maximum framerate

And it's not like you'll have significant desktop space issues at 1920X1200. And if you do need more space, you can just get 2 monitors for the same price as that 30".

But that's just me.
