nice setup ding. when i find some money, i plan on upping my mobo, processor, and ram.want ddr3, or if something better comes out by the time i get the money ill go with that. i still love my soundcard though.

and I would probably get two ssds and put them in raid 0.

the sound card is f*ckin impossible to get though, i've been lookin at it for 2 months now and its only been in stock for about 2 weeks in total...now newegg is saying their restocking it in f*ckin december 31st...

Very pissed...

EDIT: New to online buying...Newegg has indeed replenished the sound card's stock. It just now the MSI GTX 260 and Asus Rampage 2 Extreme is out of stock...

pixiestyx · « **Reply #88 on:** November 22, 2009, 06:34:28 PM »

i'm not sure if you're really that hooked on everything, but look for deals, like such

http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=5538718&sku=B69-8010

tigerdirect carries lots of barebone kits which is how i built my comp, for fairly cheap too. some people say they're the devil, but they're just another retailer. I checked them as well, they currently don't have you're sound card, but i know they have stocked it in the past, just keep your options open.

also, are you really going to go with stock cooling on a really expensive cpu? if you're going to spend that much anyway, i'd find a larger/better cooler, personally.

Ban Em All · « **Reply #89 on:** November 22, 2009, 07:25:30 PM »

I agree with pixie. well, not sure about the barebones kit. never used one myself. but tigerdirect is the same as newegg.

pixiestyx · « **Reply #90 on:** November 23, 2009, 12:28:28 PM »

well just look at the kit i'm suggesting ban em...it's got half the stuff he put up there, different psu and case, but still.

oh no, I did look at it, I just never ordered one, I'm not saying they are bad. just dont have experience with them, but I'm sure its just like ordering the parts.

it is, and actually on the invoice it doesn't show 1 package deal, it actually lists each individual item for pricing...idk, it worked out well for me.

I put that same mobo in my parent's computer.

Ryu Takezaki · « **Reply #95 on:** November 26, 2009, 06:54:06 AM »

The parts are just a basic "outline" I guess you could call it.

Theres still a few things left I kinda need to build it, like an antistatic mat, wristband, and the other tools. At least I think I need them. This is my first build if you haven't figured that out yet...

Pixie: Yea I'm planning on getting a different heatsink, but still looking around. Thanks for the sound card link too. I don't usually go onto bestbuy for online shopping.

I usually just "check" Tigerdirect, Newegg, and Zipzoomfly .coms

I don't quite know what the budget is for this though, so I might pick up the kit that you've provided.

Question: Is it possible to set up an SSD to boot up the OS and all the program files and have an HDD for storage and such?

My intentions are to have a fast boot/shutdown and have most, if not all of my programs to have a quick load-up time, while being able to store projects onto the HDD(s).

I'm not quite sure if RAID does this, since it is just mirroring.

fury · « **Reply #99 on:** November 27, 2009, 12:11:47 PM »

yeah its possible,and the sole purpose of cheap low capacity solid state drives..ocz has an attractive line of low budget ssd drives if ur interested..60gigs or so
