A bit about my rig: I did this build in 2008 and originally started with a gtx 260 for my graphics card. Recently I upgraded my graphics to the GTX 295 which is a dual core card and has 1792Mb of dedicated memory, I see awesome frame rates! I highly suggest the GTX 200 series cards to anyone. The mother board has three pci-e 2.0 slots so it is upgradable to a tri-sli setup of video cards. Added to the mother board I choose to go with a top of the line intel dual core chip and overclock it. Originally my chip was running at 3.16Ghz but with a very simple overclock I achieved 3.825Ghz. I was able to overclock the e8500 over 4.25Ghz and have stable cpu-z shots to prove so however I felt that 3.825Ghz was a safer long term speed. To cool the cpu I used a massive heatsink by Xigmatec and I couldn’t be any happier with the results. With my overclock my chip rarely goes above 45 degrees celcius. The corsair ram I have is very heavy duty and is a breeze to overclock as well. The ram came with an optional cooling fan which I installed and can be seen in the pictures below. There isn’t much to say about the other parts. I power everything with a Corsair SLI ready 750 Watt power supply which is more than enough to power everything in the box. My drive space is standard except for the fact that I have nearly 2 Terabytes of space. My next upgrade will be a 10,000 RPM hard drive that I will install my boot partition on. Lastly for a display I use a Samsung 226BW 22 inch monitor which I absoltely love. Samsung always has brilliant colors on their monitors and mine uses a high contrast ratio and 2ms response time. My original build price for this rig was around $1200 but all parts were not added until later. Its hard to say what the final total is for the computer as I constantly upgrade and buy new toys for it. Thanks for reading about my rig, enjoy the pictures below.
