Ostensibly you don't seem like the type to state the price of the sake of stating the price, so one would assume that you have a list of items on your wishlist that could be of interest to this thread?

Yeah, the reason I'm budgeting as I am because I want something in the range of...

Core i7 / DDR3 / SLI system
Nikon D80 with the works.

Or at least something on those performance levels; thus I think the budget allocated should be enough to get ir job dun.

I think u made a mistake right there, C2Q uses dual channel RAM. You add 2 sticks at same time, not 3. i7 has 3-channel memory.

You really should have posted here what you are gonna order first.

edit: Basically now you'll be using two of the sticks and one will be useless.

do it!



Though, if it were me, I'd cut the PC budget in half, as that camera is going to suck money out of you.


...but I wouldn't know what you're going to be using the PC for, so yeah.

no I meant to get next stick of same RAM or just get rid off one of them as Windows wont use 8Gb of RAM anyway and 4Gb should be enough.

C2Q + 8GB + 3xGPU + 3xLCD = 3xWOW + porn download.

Just bought this on sale. A huge electronics store just opened up in the next town over from me and they had stuff on SALE. Picked up this Samsung 32" LCD for €333 (normally runs for close to €400). Samsung LE 32A330 ... now I just need to go and buy a DVD player with HD output and we're in business!!!

What do you suggest?
I also thought canceling it and buying it from Dell outlet. It'd be @ $1600 without the monitor.
price range $2500 max
Never done a build.
