ttaM Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 I heart my single GTS 250, I can run Fallout 3 on Ultra settings with minimal side effects. My monitor should come tomorrow or Saturday, Monday at the latest, FedEx tracking says Saturday :/. I'll put final build pics up then. 23 inch HD 1920x1080 from Dell for $150.

Good choices for the most part. What CPU you running? BTW hope you don't plan on overclocking with that cooler... One thing I would have changed from experience is the raptors, overpriced for the performance. Could have gotten 3 or 4 AAKS or AALS drives in raid 0 for the $ and blown the raptors away.

I'm running the Q6600. That CPU cooler was only temporary, because my old one that I had in(Noctua heatsink and fan) wouldn't fit in the motherboard for some reason after I tried installing it again. I'm not going to be overclocking with that CPU cooler though. I got those raptors from Bort Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You will be bottle necking the piss out of those dual 250's depending on your resolution at 2.4ghz. Would have been better off with a higher clocked E84-E8600 but as long as you're happy with it, cool. And Not overclocking? What you need an aftermarket cooler for?
