Thats a huge step up from your current setup. Congrats.

 

That, my friend, will not disappoint
Happy building......

 

But that psu is way more than you need.

 

Agreed.
check out Ultra x4 Series that just came out.

 

Overkill is always good though.

 

I'm figuring it may seem like overkill now, but it's probably going to be the norm in the not too distant future. GPUs just get bigger and more power hungry.

 

no man its 3850x2 here see

it used to hit max 31 fps then now on 1680x1050 all max but DX9 one vga hits 45-50 mach better with the new drivers
And i have 2 on this pc

 

Why did you get a triple channel kit for a dual channel board? You do realize that only two sticks of that will be running in dual and the third is just hanging out to dry? Its going to be a nice build other than that, personally getting a triple channel kit for a dual channel board is dumb because you're wasting money on a third stick you don't need.

 

I'm guessing with that PSU you wan't to be future proof?
imo look into an Enermax PSU That thing is the meaning of future proof.

 

With my setup. I'm averaging 41FPS on Crysis, Everything Very High, 4xAA @ 2048x1152

 

Then the avatar fits Holy crap, this forum is full of very helpful peeps. Could have just asked one of us

From reading the manual, it'll take 3 X 2Gb Dimms

 

are velociraptor drives a good buy still? or is ssd a more worthwhile purchase?

isnt the gene a microATX? why that choice with a full atx case?

 

it will take it, but it wont be terrible effective. Is the i5 chipset able to do even dual channel with 3 sticks in? (in comparison to 2 or 4), it certainly cant do triple channel. Sry, but I think that was a waste of money, good luck finding a matching single stick for that set up.

 

i stand corrected. never knew there was one.

 

It was a joke lol I'm not that silly

 

less talk, moar pics!

 

I got the velociRaptor because in the 2009 summer buyers guide, it was recommened to stay away from SSD for now. I can always get one later and use my current as extra storage.

Yes, I did get a microATX. I regret it now too. Everything is so close together. The case was bought because I wanted to have room to grow. H2O may be in my future. Also, I like to know there's good air flow around all my gear.

I take all this as a learning experiance. This is my first build. I did all the research on my own. So yes, I made some mistakes. I'm learning from them.
