Get the Ultra x4, other than that it looks pretty nice. I have heard great things about that Domino liquid cooler, other than the fact that the original ones had weak connector thingys, I guess they fixed it though.
Yeah just get the 800 watt, that will be just enough for good upgradeability. The G300 should be out around December, Maybe late November, It is even possible that it could be January.
Yeah gt300's are still a mystery but i would highly recommend you wait for them to release their cards. the 9800gtx is good enough for now anyway. When the 300's come out prices will go down, too.
the x58 is a good chipset but that means that i would have to put more money on my memory and the cpu as well because the p55 dose not support the 920 socket 1366 and the i5 is little low end for me. as for the hd i need a good, fast, reliable, and a lot of room for the things i do. the raptors x 120 gb that i have use in the past i never had any problem with it.
All right all you ATi and Nvidia fanboys. In terms of grahpics (GPU/IGP) , both nvidia and ATi don't own shit. Nvidia has 24.9%, while ATi has 19.8%, thats pretty close considering Intel owns 52.7% mainly from their crappy GMA IGP's. http://www.fudzilla.com/content/view/16140/34/
the percentages people have been posting would be the discrete gpu market share. they usually dont include integrated gpu numbers in these comparisons.
Of course we don't since we play games. However I am not an Nvidia fanboy, it's just dumb to say "ATi MONOPOLY WOOO", cause thats dumb. Sorry if I came across as a fanboy.
lolumad... your quite mad to say your not an nvidia fanboi i have been on this site... since the beginning lurking in the background... and all i have seen since you arrived is ati is gay nvidia plox. My callin of ATI's monopoly may be outrageous but hey i gotta give some back to the trollers out there such as yourself... i can't let you have the trolling monopoly on here
