He posted specs above.He's using a Corsair 750 watt PSU . It could be bad though,It may power everything up ok,but under load it could have some issues.

When I'm getting ready to build a new rig,I usually go to Bluesnews.com and review their hardware roundup articles.Sometimes I will just mimic the setup that I like

I did see that after I posted. I build my gaming rig myself to I like doing it and I had that problem it was the power supply. Under loads while gaming it would freeze and sometimes reset on it own. I was running 3-way SLI with a 1000 watt and change it to a 1200 watt power supply and no more problem the cards I was running 3 evga 580 GTX Superclocked.

ya, but my rig is freezing while just watching YOUTUBE. Thats not under load...

Last night I ran the HDtuner program that Scott recommended. It found some errors and corruption. So I just ordered a WD VelociRaptor 600gb hdd. Once I install Windows7 and I still have GPU issues, ill reevaluate from there. Ive been wanting a faster HDD anyway, so no biggie.

PS
Busy-Boi, nice rig! I dont have the $ for that shit.

Just a note on the SSD, I have had mine for roughly a year now with no problems. I also have a Raptor I had forgotten all about that I used to use. My SSD is used as my primary OS drive and for games that i frequently play. I believe it currently has BFBC2 and Starcraft 2 on it, with WoW and some others on my Raptor. Load time with the SSD is insanely fast.

I dont know which SSD people are having issues with. The on I purchased was through Intel when they were running their "Big Deal" last summer.

The Velicoraptor is on order. I'll be happy with the speed and stability.

I'm feeling the itch to just order the GPU anyway, even if it's not damaged.

I've built quite a few machines over the years, and most have been pretty stable.

Still, the best rigs I've had as far as stability were the ones I purchased through Falcon Northwest (www.falcon-nw.com)

My current home rig is a beast, and I ran into my first issue since I bought it about a year and a half ago. It was hanging on boot at the EVGA screen. Turned out I had left a Compact Flash 8GB memory card in the card reader, and it was trying to boot off of it. No real problem

The only downside to buying a machine is it will be more expensive.

My system:
Blue Side Panel & Lighting
2010 Chevy Imperial Blue Metallic Paint
Intel Core I7 975 Extreme 3.33GHz Processor
Water Cooled
12GB 1333MHz RAM
X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro Sound Card
Blue Ray Reader/Writer
Dual EVGA Superclocked Geforce 295 (yes, two of them...that's QUAD-SLI)
Corsair 256GB Solid State Drive
Western Digital 2TB Hard Drive
30" Monitor

Scott I'm jealous...

I want a triple monitor setup!
But I really need a pro to benchmark my rig. I'm tired of these issues...

Gigachip · 05-24-2011, 11:47 AM

built 2 pcs myself, one wasnt much a gaming rig, but the recent one I have I love

AMD Phenom II X4 3.4 GHz (OC 3.7)
16 Gigs DDR3 1600 Ram
1250 PSU
2x GTX 480

just some highlights, was planning on water cooling it and adding more to it this summer also

that being said, I hope things work out for you

I just read your review on my mobo (ASIs m4a79t deluxe). I feel good about that purchase but maybe I should have dishes out more $...

My biggest regret from my PC build was my hd. Now I'm replacing it, so things should be sold.

Should I buy that Sandra program? I'd like to know my system is stable...
