My Idea for a z77 Sabertooth with Dual GTX 680

[GamerGirlAlice]

hmm force gt huh. i looked at them and i wasn't sure if the 5% peed gain was worth the cost.

i am thinking of a build name. what do u all think of GamerGirlAlice's M35A3. a M35A3 is a 2.5 ton 6x6 miltiery truck if you where wondering the code. system is miltiery themed for gaming/digital media and the m35 series trucks have been made in to everything to water trucks, fire engens, cargo, troop transport, and so much more.

I'd change the SSD to a ForceGT, only cost a little more but they are faster and well worth the extra. Other than that you have a very nice build there.

The Force GT 120GB has a maximum read and write speed of 5MB/s higher than the Force 3 120GB, so there's no point getting the GT over the 3

i thought so, and price jumps a lot. if i was building a bad ass rog oc rig i would go gt but for what i am planing i don't think its worth the cost

I just realized you are a female nerd

In Iceland I think all girls would just go for a pink laptop haha... I just might be in love

No for real... A girl with that kind of rig is just to awesome

 

[S_I_N]

what gave it away AciD_RaiN??? her name bieng Alice or the links in her sig??? lmao but yeah most females of the species dont build rigs like this, but there are a rare few.

 

[AciD_RaiN]

hahaha I need to pay more attention to my environment... I saw the name and thought to myself "Alice in wonderland" and with that rig she just might be in her wonderland

 

[simsimma4]

Great rig so far, it should run nice a cool n fast

ax1200 is a bit of an overkill but i can understand your reasons.

 

[GamerGirlAlice]

i may ined up going pzz delux but yes thanks

well i been working on the config. via help form OC3d and my LAN Party group. i want speed, connectivity, reliability, gaming, multimedia.. i deiced i am also going to still use my corsair 800d and but a bunch of bitfenix alchemy blue braid extensions. the reason i thinking deluxe board will be good for me is i can raid 0 dual 120gb ssd for boot drive as well as run a 60gb with a 2tb programs/games cache drive setup. it also has wireless and blue tooth so i can trans fer files to my phone via blue tooth.

[AciD_RaiN]

Would it be a total overkill to add a custom WC with some X1 Mayhems UV blue ??

Then you will only need a ax850 psu to run all that lot (http://www.msi.com/s...ply-calculator/ might have to f5 this, for the gtx680 select the 560 and add 50 watts for each card)

 

[GamerGirlAlice]

what, i'm lost

was saying i may go with a asus p8z77-w deluxe for ability to have raid, cache, and wireless. if you interested in the build most of it on my newegg wish list: http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWishDetail.aspx?WishListNumber=19203472

the ax850 will save me cash too its a lot parts and was playing safety for current gpu and what might be in future. i remember the evga gtx 580 classified used dual 8pins + a 6pin.

 

[AciD_RaiN]

Have you changed your mind about the GTX 680 cards??

 

[Jadarite]

Stick with the gtx 680 and take a look at this ttl vid http://youtu.be/Y8RZDPjMttY

 

[GamerGirlAlice]

Have you changed your mind about the GTX 680 cards??

as many as pointed out since i mainly play wow and second life 680s probably overkill. i currently have a 280 and my games run at low or medium. some other games i play or want are batman asylum, batman city, ghostbusters tva, & tomb rider. so basically i figure dual 660s might actually be good for what i play when they are released. this build is planed over several months. btw because i only have $445 a month to get parts starting in June, but i am getting speakers in may though.

 

[AciD_RaiN]

lol keplAr ??

I never play games and still I have a single GTX 680 and considering to get another one... But I'm all for the overkill so

my disability budget influences what i buy as much as what i do lol.

I can relate... Disabled too and it's hard to have such a low budget in any economy right now
