On Nvidea SLI zone they recommend at least a 750w , if you run it on the 680w that doesn't mean it won't work but running a PSU at it's max for long periods of time will cause it to die unless it was made to perform on end like that.

Your CPU cooler choice will do the job for a 940@stock , it's better than H/S fan. The Asus P6T standard is a great performance MB it wouldn't make sense to upgrade to the more expensive MB unless your planning to tweak your hardware and even the P6T can do that. If you want the best video card then the GTX295 is the way to go , if you want the best performance then 2 GTX285's is the way to go unless you can afford 3 but you will have to up your PSU for 2 285'

Please review my system selection — $786.00
Status: offline In all honesty, I suggest dropping the sound card & speakers and save for that after you purchase the computer. Instead of the sound card and speakers you should select something more fulfilling. How about a nicer graphics card? You can go with the ati 4850 512 or the ati 4870 512 video card considering you have a crossfire mobo. Also if you are looking to save a bit, I suggest switching to an AMD Duo, however that is my opinion.

Status: offline The configuration looks good. You will probably want to go with the 9600GT 512mb instead or maybe the 8800GT 512mb. The price difference should be minor. Also you will need a 600watt powersupply with that configuration. We do have a special for the 680watt powersupply.

High temperatures can cause instability and shorten the lifespan, or even damage expensive system components. With these systems, whisper-quiet 230mm cooling fans move high volumes of air through the system to keep components running cool and quiet.

Two cards are usually not better than a single one if that single one has better performance since adding a second graphics card does not double performance.

The GTX 295 is two cards. Two PCBs, each equivalent to a GTX 275 except they have GTX 260 clock speeds, running in SLI. If you get a pair of GTX 275s you will still have space for your sound card, whether it is a PCI or PCI-E x1 device.

1370 Gamer Build - comments please — $1,370.00
Status: offline Any suggestions here? I have a copy of Vista Ultimate already. I'm assuming it's easy to install the op system? I don't have room for a full tower case. I'm a FPS guy. Battlefield 2 etc. Second hard drive is for iTunes library. It's either this or a dell 435 from microcenter for $999. It's an i7 920, 6 gig of slower memory and a 4850 with one 750g drive. this seems a heck of a lot better and future proof for $350 more - although my better half only wanted me to spend 1k.

X48 MOBO with DDR3; X48 vs. P45 — $250.00
Status: offline Is there a good motherboard out there with the X48 chipset that supports DDR3, that isn't $250? I'm finding few that get good reviews. And is an X48 MOBO worth it over a P45 chipset for Crossfire? I'm trying to put together a build for a quad core gaming computer capable of Crossfire, and stuck on X48 vs. P45, especially when looking for support for DDR3 in an X48 MOBO.

Christmas Desktop Setup — $903.00
Status: offline This Christmas I would like to get a setup that can play games well, but doesn't need to be able to play at maximum settings. I found this one and it looked fine to me, especially for the price. I already have a Westinghouse 22" LCD HD monitor, so that is taken care of. Would this setup work? Also, is there any sizeable difference between the AMD Phenom X4 9550 Quad-Core CPU w/ HyperTransport Technology

Yet another Rate My Build! YAY — $1,262.00
Deluxe - CF/SLI/3 max speed x16 PCI-E slots and loaded with more refine overclocking software tools and advance tweaks via bios + Asus TurboV Remote like a NOS switch that you can hit a button and get a boost in performance if set up to do so. If your a person that plan to do basic overclocking the LE/PRO can do that. The Deluxe gives you the more advance controls and software tools to get a higher OC of components. That should help you decide where you stand.

new system build questions — $100.00
Status: offline Here is a possible system we may buy. The price is higher than I would like. I am not sure of how to pick a motherboard, so am not sure if the one on there is the best choice. Where could I cut costs? Specifically, is the Killer M worth the price? We have a wireless network. Am I fine with the video card I piciked or should I spend (gads) even more and get two SLI video cards, and if so, which ones? This particular computer is for my husband who plays a lot of computer games, (MMORPGs...

almost there, help w/a couple of questions ,please — $728.00
Status: offline Wow. I just bought the EXACT same setup the other day. I made the exact same adjustments to the special as you did, price and all! Well, i'll give more feed back once I get mine in but I mainly only play WoW and from what i've read, WoW doesn't benefit greatly from a quad core system so that was my deciding factor.

Status: offline Hey everybody, recently I was referred to iBP by my friends since I'm getting into PC gaming again. My dilemma though is I'm not well versed in the technical side of getting a computer. My last computer was a Dell infact, which performed well until becoming a huge pain. Posting from my PS3's browser atm I'm unable to copy and paste. However I can tell you my budget max is 1100 to 1200 with a little wiggle room. I'm looking to play the new MMO's and perhaps some new FPS (though...

What do you think about this build — $9.00
One thing to keep inmind. You can upgrade everypart of your system easily except motherboard and cpu...So In my opinon I would go with the 965 i7 and the best motherboard you can afford then one 280card. And I agree with Katarrah with the one graphics card and make it the best..The reason i would stick with one card is, sli and crossfire right now are really unstable. One worng driver download can really mess up a sli setup, or one bad card can mess things up too. And the new gtx295 are due out...

One last double check Ordering like now:) — $2,577.75
Status: offline Add a comment at the bottom to take the removed fan from the top of the case and connect it to the side of the case. I didn't know we could do that and wish I had. Oh well. Just means I get to buy an optimal fan to plug into the fan controller I guess.

core i7 Value Build, critique please — $1,199.00
Status: offline The 9800GTX would be a better choice even though it has only 512MB of ram. The 1GB doesn't really help unless you have a GTX 285 and running at a resolution of 1920x1200 or greater.

Third, I chose the 1000w PSU, because I couldn't figure out what brand the default 800w one is. I do not wish to have a generic one, but I was also considering the 850w CoolerMaster or Ikonik one. Should I downgrade it? I plan to use this computer for gaming, and I have no desire to do the whole SLI/Crossfire deal. I do however, plan to add another hard drive at some point.

That's two highly demanding games (World in Conflict and Crysis) running in windowed benchmark mode, plus Counterstrike Source (spectating on some random server), plus video editing/encoding on Cyberlink Power Director 7.0. All games actually run quite smoothly (FPS in WIC doesn't dip below 23 or so even with all the rendering).

What do you guys think? Gaming/School Rig — $1,415.68
Status: offline Well the problem is with 32-bit operating systems they can only address 4GB of total memory. The problem with that is Video card memory also eats away at that 4GB and anything else that uses memory. 64-bit operating systems can address far more memory space so it's no problem for those OS. XP was released as a 64-bit version, however driver support was quite poor and Microsoft no longer supports it very much, that is why we don't offer XP-64.
