Your dream gaming rig (PCers)

(1/10) > >>

Sideways:
Hello all!

In advising JJMitchell on what to get for an upgraded PC, I was thinking about what I would get if I had absolutely no monetary restrictions...

SO I decided to make this thread where we can post what our dream rig would be, and then argue about who's is better!  :P

My dream rig:

Case:

Screwless lightweight aluminum chassis with three temperature display meters, low-noise 1100RPM fans, carrying strap and USB2.0/firewire/audio front-mounted ports.  Three fans total (side, top, rear).

Motherboard:

Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe w/ DualDDR400, Audio, Dual Gigabit Lan, 1394, Crossfire Dual PCI-E x16.
Supports dual PCI Express x16 slots to run two video cards together via ATI Crossfire Xpress 3200. Supports AMD Athelon 64FX... which brings me to...

Processor:

AMD Athlon 64 FX-60 Dual-Core w/ 2x1MB Cache.
Frequency: 2.6GHz
HyperTransport™ Technology Speed: 2000MHz
Integrated Memory Controller: 2.6GHz
L1 Cache Size: 2x 128KB (128KB per core)
L2 Cache Size: 2 x 1MB (1MB per core)
L2 Cache Speed: 2.6GHz
Core Voltage: 1.35-1.40 V

Memory:

Corsair 2048MB TwinX PC3200 CAS 2 Dual Channel Kit (2 x 1024MB).

Video Cards:

Two of these badboys.
Chipset: Nvidia GeForce™ 7800 GTX
Interface: PCI Express™x16
Memory: 256MB GDDR3
Memory Inteface: 256-Bit GDDR3
Core Clock: 460MHz (vs. 430MHz standard)
Memory Clock: 1300MHz (vs. 1200MHz standard)
Geometry: 920 million vertices/sec.
Memory Bandwidth: 41.6GB/second
RAMDAC: Dual 400MHz

Hard Drive:

Maxtor 500GB DiamondMax 11 7200RPM SATA II w/ 16MB Cache.

DVD/CD/R/RW/ROM:

Plextor PX-716SA 16x16 Dual Layer CD/DVD+/-RW, Serial ATA.

Power Supply:

Enermax Liberty Modular Power Supply, 620W.

This system would rock your (and your mom's) socks off.

JJMitchell:
Looks good to me.
I'd buy that for a dollar.

jhocking:
duuuude, where did you find that case?

ADDITION: Nevermind, I just figure it out.  Although, other people might want to know.

mberan42:
What's the cost on all that? Not that I have the money, but a guy can wish...

What about a monitor? Should I start the CRT / LCD debate? Would you go single monitor or double or even triple? Or widescreen? What sizes?

My current monitor. I want to have its babies.

ViewSonic VP2030b Black 20.1" 8ms gray-to-gray (avg); 16ms black-white-black (typ) LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 1000:1 0.255mm Pixel Pitch - Retail

clicky for specs.

Sideways:
BenQ has very reasonably priced 17"LCD monitors with 5ms response (great for gaming) which retail for around $290.00 (CDN).  I'd go with a triple-setup, considering how I already have two of em.  :P

That total setup I noted above would cost....

Case: $169.95
Motherboard: $249.95
Processor: $1,229.95
Memory: $309.95
Video Card 1: $559.95
Video Card 2: $559.95
Hard Drive: $359.95
DVDRW/CDRW: $164.95
Power Supply: $184.95

Then add three of these (though with the above setup you could have FOUR!!!):

BenQ FP71V+ 17" Digital LCD (DVI Connect) 5ms response:
$299.95

and the total cost (not including a mouse and keyboard, or speakers) is:

CPU: $3,789.55
Monitors: $899.85

Total:$4,689.40.


Don't forget the fun peripherals too (these are the things I either have or want):

Belkin Nostromo SpeedPad - 'have':



Logitech Cordless diNova Media Desktop - 'want':


Logitech Z-4 2.1 Speaker System - 'have':

(Good GOD the sound that comes out of those two speakers is awesome... better than any 5.1 comp-speaker system I've ever heard!!!)

Incidentally, all of this stuff (prices and availability) is courtesy of Memory Express Computer Products & Electronics Inc. - which is only in Calgary, AB, Canada... sadly.
