Blackbart

Cavey Blackbart - My Build (proposed) Here is what I have come up with so far...I am hoping some of our puter experts will chime in if they see any conflicts or areas where I might improve performance or save some money...I'm definitely going with the HAF-X, ASUS Motherboard (but open to board model change), and 2600K...Everything else is subject to change if it will increase performance and/or save some money... CASE: CoolerMaster HAF-X N82E16811119225 $199.99 MOBO: ASUS P8Z68-V Pro N82E16813131790 199.99 CPU: Intel i7/2600K N82E16819115070 329.99 CPU cooler: Noctua NH-D14 N82E16835608018 89.99 Ram: GSKILL ripjaw X 8GB(2X4) N82E16820231445 74.99 HD 1: OCZ Vertex 3 120GB SATA 111 SSD N82E16820227706 189.99 HD 2: WD 1TB Caviar Black N82E16822136284 169.99 GPU : VisionTek Radeon HD 6850 N82E16814129167 174.99 PSU : Corsair 850 HX N82E16817139011 172.99 CD/DVD/BLURAY/Writer: LG BLACK Rewriter N82E16827136239 79.99 CD/DVD/ROM : LG BlACK ROM N82E16827136232 59.99 CARD READER : ROSEWILL 74 in 1 N82E16820223109 16.99 OS : WINDOWS 7 PRO 64 BIT N82E16832116992 139.99 _________ $1899.99 Blackbart, with that case and those parts, don't go air cooled with that noctua NH-D14. Get a closed circuit liquid cooler. I have the haf-x case, and choose the corsair H70. It will cool your CPU much better, and it's only a little more expensive. However you could save yourself money by getting Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit. To be honest, unless you are joining a domain or looking at RAID 5 etc, there is no benefits in getting Pro edition, and you will save yourself more than enough to get that liquid cooling. Honestly, that is sound advise!!! Thanks for the info Cavey...I was wondering about that as I will probably crossfire at a future date...Your right about the widows 7...I went with the pro just in case in the future if I want to go raid...I'm also thinking about changing my vid card choice to the 6950...

spanky if you start buying your vasoline in the big tubs you can save a couple bucks a week... ...at least that's what pete's always saying:) I prefer KY Jelly it washes of easier when done...LOL...

Good one DJ...

Take care buddy we will be here when you get back...

Part two is resolved...Now need to finish up part one...Good job G-Man in getting the package to Ray...

[b30]Goat Gorilla Ill help with the pimp hunt. Do you just clean the wild hog? then cook it. Ive heard that they are gamey trasting. and can use a feeding out to make better. If you are going to pit cook the hog no prep needed...If you want it butchered for the freezer then live catching and pen feeding for awhile will improve flavor...

Happy B-Day my old friend...I hope you have a great one...

Artimus Prime If you wouldn't have bought the wife a new car you could have had a heck of a computer. Ya and she's giving me grief about wanting to build a new one...Go figure...

I have narrowed it down to the psu...I'm trying to decide if I want to put more money in this one or just build a new one...I have put almost $400 in parts and upgrades over the years to get it to last this long (it's almost 7yrs old). Cod2 & 4 is the best I can play on it...Decisions, decisions...Makes my head hurt...Lol...Thanks to everyone that has responded...

Ruggerxi He needs to put some hours in on the servers then I might consider it If he comes to COD2 he will be permanently banned on sight for being a hack...

Sunday evening was playing on server and things were working fine then my puter just shut down in the middle of a game...The fans stopped and my video also...The strange thing is there was still power to my power button...over the next hour this happend two more times then I shut down for the night...Monday when I turned on the puter it barely got everything loaded when it did it again twice in a row...My first thought was power supply was going bad but I have power like I said to my power button so I'm not sure that is the problem...Has anyone ever experienced anything like this?...

PimpedOutPete You are correct Nick.. It happens anywhere. So whats the diffrence in this case?.. I ask.. The difference is one is from a culture that not only accepts it but encourages it the other is just from stupidity...

P-man and I have asked Rugger to remove the castle map...It should be pulled this afternoon...Thanks guys for your input...

I have been playing on >XI< servers for nearly five years...It has always been the policy in that time that if a glitch is inside the regular map boundary and you can be killed there than it is acceptable...It is not my job to create policy but to enforce continuity in policy...Any changes in policy comes from above my pay grade...

Happy B-Day DJ...Hope you have a great one...

If it is the boxes on the "Container Map" then it is not an exploit according to our server rules...It is within the normal map boundary and you can be killed while in there...

What is the glitch they are exploiting?...

I can't wait to kick your ass on that map...LOL...

Happy B-Day Kline...I hope you have a great one...

It has been 43 yrs. since I was in Nam...Yet the music, pictures and videos of that period bring back the smell, taste, feeling, and the fear as if it were happening now...God bless those in harms way as they fight for the right of all people to be free from oppression and tyranny...

Good one...

We are covered up in squealers here in Arkansas also...My younger brother and I have done some hunting for them...Would love to it from a chopper...Thanks for sharing the video...

Congrats buddy...
