Orki's Super Puter


Recommended Posts

So, with access to some of the most advanced technology in the world here in the Korea, Republic of I can finally set in motion plans to build the ultimate gaming machine of today. I want nothing but the best, and price is not a concern. What I would like from you is comments and suggestions on what the best gaming musheen would consist of. Let it be known that I am an Intel/Nvidia supporter in lieu of the lesser AMD/ATI.

 

Here is a list of parts I'm eying and leaning heavily towards acquiring:

 

CPU: Intel Core i7-980X Processor Extreme Edition

 

MOBO: Something that supports socket FCLGA1366, or the best on the market at which point I'll shift fire towards other parts. Support of up to x 3 SLI is a must.

 

RAM: OCZ Reaper Edition x 2 = 16 GB of SDRAM DDR3.

 

SSD: Intel X25-M Mainstream SSD x 2 = 320 GB of super fast awesomeness.

 

HDD: Whatever floats my boat as this will only be used for excess memory usage. Obviously we want something good, though.

 

Video Card(s): Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 x 2 (or even 3) in SLI for optimal garfix pawnage.

 

Case: Here's where I run into a bit of trouble. I want a full tower; something nice to look at (lights up with internal window) but also has optimal cooling performance like: COOLER MASTER HAF X RC-942-KKN1.

 

Power Supply: Rosewill BRONZE series RBR1000-M 1000W Power Supply. I'm gonna need a lot of power to run what I want to run, and this seems like an ideal power supply. And it's glowy and stuff.

 

Cooling: ZALMAN CNPS9900ALED 120mm 2 Ball Low-noise Blue LED CPU Cooler. I want this baby to run quiet, so this seems purrty good for coolering.

 

Monitor: ACER GD235HZ LCD x 2; 3D for the win.

 

And of course various drives and additions that aren't part of the core including (but not limited to) Windows 7 Ultimate, etc.

 

Questions, comments, concerns?

Use the HDD as your main storage. Also make sure the SSDs have proper and sufficient warranty. A lot of them have a reputation of dying after only several months, currently. As for the video cards: The 480s are a bit larger than most cards. Mine wouldn't fit at all in the original case I had. (NZXT) Something to keep in mind.
