He said its a black armor didnt say anything about thermal take ok?!... of course i read the thread and thats why i asked the question because i wasn't sure, sorry if i come acros abit agressive but im not in a good mood and people talking to me like im an idiot dont help either

gd night lol getting abit short tempered

 

[PV5150]

Not talking to you like an idiot mate and I'm sorry if it came across that way. But if I didn't know what a black Armor+ was I would simply jump on Google to find out. Now chill out and sleep well.

i will be adding some stuff that is not avaible now, so its hard to make a actual list, but here is what iam going to do so far.

x58 ROG motherboard

intel Core i7 900

ocz 750w (game extreme)

Nvidia gtx 280 replacement

4gb corsair 1600mhz with dominator fan

creative xfi xtreme gamer

nzxt sentry lx fan controller

500gb hard disk (dont know what brand) or maybe a 160 gb solid hard drive

i will be on air with nahelem, becouse its not that expensive as watercooling, and the nahelem runs easily 4ghz on air

Nice shopping list, you're obviously going to be spending some serious coin. The Bloomfield Core i7 Quads will set you back a bit, as will the X58 motherboard I'd imagine. I take it you're going to wait until the faster SSD's come about next year.

well about the quad core, i will just be going for the nahelem and the x58 becouse i dont want a cpu bottleneck, i dont know how much the nahelem will cost, but that will be my consern later. i was planning on getting a striker II extreme, but now i replaced that choice with the x58, and i doubt the x58 will cost more than 315 euro's

about the hard drives, i will probaly be going for a nice normal but fast hard drive, but if i get easy out at my budget right after my last parts, then i might be going for a solid one.

CPU bottle neck for what?!

Nice list but i7 and x58 = waste of cash, IMO...

i actualy ment, like with an example of the 4870x2, u need a really expensive quad core to get everything oud of the card, thats my first point, second of all the asus x58 rog board is assumed to get sli on them, so its nice to have a real intel board with sli on it, sins i will be going for a nvidia card.

Yeah as Robert said.. In the reviews you've read, have you not found that the CPU is bottlenecking the X2. I guess if you can get your Quad to 4Ghz stable then you should be ok but that's a gem or an Extreme.

Exactly! and thats the beauty of i7 and the x58. it will be easy to get it to 4ghz on air, and i will be alway able to upgrade my cpu to, becouse if i get a 775 mb then il be stuck on the quad and dual core.

and come one, sli on a intel mb, thats great right? and next to that the i7 has some extra's that might come usefull in the future

[Robert]

[ace8uk]

Those HP monitors are really sexy, and the stands make them look huge! Good luck with the project
