Build me a machine worthy of Pause!

[Exuus]

As some of you know, my computer went *BANG!* recently. Because of this, I need a new system. I was looking at this:


AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4200+ (AM2)
MSI K9A Platinum Crossfire
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 667MHz DDR2
Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB
Zalman CNPS9500-AM2 Aero Flower
Artic Cooling Accelero X2 Cooler
Antec P180 Advanced Super Midi Tower Case
Tagan TG530-U15 530W Silent PSU

What does everyone think?

Get custom PC! [/plug]

Have you looked at the Core Duo? They're surprising value for money, and might beat the 4200+ (http://www.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=4843&page=3) in a fight (depending on a lot of things).

[Exuus]

Right, the damage is done. :D

Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe
Asus P5W DH Deluxe
GeIL 2GB (2x1GB) PC5300 667MHz DDR2
Connect3D ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB
Zalman CNPS9500-AM2 Aero Flower
Antec P180 Advanced Super Midi Tower Case
Tagan TG530-U15 530W Silent PSU


Now, to build and it and run Super Pi :twisted:

Aw man, can I have one, but not have to see (or pay) the bill for it.

[Sid]

Really nice system, there.

Eek... with some mild overclocking you should be able to get around 17s with that.

[DAve]

Nice one, that's going to be a killer.

Sweepstakes:

I think the Exxus' new SuperPi benchmark will be:
23 seconds.

[Exuus]

I've seen guys running overclocked 6600 conroes getting 9 seconds. :D

with the mem you got then your OC headroom is limited as I said. Sid seems to know his stuff so I'll go with his estimate for the pi time. The real kicker is the X1900XT that thing FLYS.

[Sid]

Yeah, the Geil PC6400 stuff I'd recommended would've been great for pushing your system albeit more expensive. Regardless, I'd be surprised if this doesn't break 20s quite easily.

Good luck!

[Bluepixie]

so how has this gone chris?

[Exuus]

Still don't have it yet. Overclockers are now officially the worst company I've ever had to deal with.

[Sid]

I've never had anything but good experiences with overclockers.

What's happening?
