you think someone whos asking to build them a pc is going to overclock it?
OCZ is one the top RAM brands. In fact they are quickly moving their way up to #1. Corsair, OCZ, and Mushkin are the best. Followed by G-skill and Patriot. Geil and Kingston are at the very bottom.

That RAM I linked it some of the best stuff out there. BH-5 chips that are already clocked at 250mhz at 2-2-2-8 timings.

I don't know why he wouldn't overclock. Change 2 things in BIOS and your done. Maybe he just wasn't up-to-date on current tech and wanted to know what the best was.



As for the video cards, you can substitute anything you want in there. I'd take dual 6800GTs over a X850XT anyday.

Woulda been just better linking to the gaming benchmarks, sli doesn't always make game run a load faster, lot of the time it will keep your frame rate more constant rather than churning out 300fps.

with the sli in those benchmarks you dont even see a more than a 50% increase dude, why waste $1000 on two ultra caards when one x800xt or one ultra can EASILY do the job? well in the present time anyway...in a year or so sli might be required for some games

Depends what he wants it for, sli at the minute is prtty much for high res gaming with everything cranked up, if someone buys an sli setup to run at 1024x768 with standard settings they need a good slap. It has its good and bad points, ive seen enough benchmarks and on occasion the x850xt can outperform 2 sli'd 6800 ultras. Other times the 6800's lay a whoopin in doom 3 benchmarks at 1600x1200 with everything turned up, more or less any opengl game for that matter.

Doom 3 i run at 1280x1024 4xfsaa on the high settings (cause ultra settings = oOo: ). The built in time demo i score 55 or so fps. Thats not really saying much though. Some people look at timedemo scores and base what they buy off that.

Theres plenty of areas in doom 3 that drop my fps quite a lot. The reactor core level for example, i was using a plasma rifle in that area beside the reactor core with the flying heads everywhere and i was getting around 20fps. Theres one segment in the doom 3 expansion with zombies walking through an xray machine, where i dropped to around 20fps again, some weird glass distortion effect seemed to cause it.

Sli at the minute is definately usefull, expensive way to go but if you want max settings in games like doom 3 or chronicles of riddick its either get sli or wait for the next gen of cards.

4ghz is overrated, im at 4ghz now and don't see much differerence over 3.3. Whats your current cpu?

I have a good PC now, thats why im so content to wait.

i have a 3200+ 64 AMD, a gig of mushkin 222 special edition ram, and a 5950u 256. A 120 gig seagate on ata. I didnt see much point for going sata when i built it. Next build i will since by then the next gen should be out and isnt it supposed to be like 300?
