New PC - bragging rights

[Furunculus]

Hey folks, now talking to you from my new PC, a true beast:

AMD 1090T - six cores at 3.2GHZ
Gigabyte 890FX UD5
Crucial Real SSD C300 128GB
Sapphire VapourX 5870 2GB (soon to be 2x)
4GB DDR3 1600 (soon to be 8GB)
2x 24" screens (soon to be 3x)
Silverstone Fortres FT02 case
Asus Xonar D2 sound card
Corsair H50 v2 water cooling
Silverstone Strider Plus 750W modular PSU
LiteON Blurray Drive
Win7 64

It is glorious, i am a happy man.

Peace out. :)

[Alexander the Pretty Good]

You don't have enough graphics cards. :P

[drone]

Will it run Crysis?


More importantly, will it run MTW?

[Furunculus]

lol, it will have two 2GB cards before two long, as i will need it for eyefinity.

slight stability problem right now in that it freezes if i run Prime95, but seems ok other than that.

[Lemur]

Looks like plenty of graphic card for a single screen to this lemur. First hexa-core rig I've heard about in the wild, too. Congrats!

Pft.

I've got this entry-level stuff in my cell-phone.

[Tellos Athenaios]

Then you need updating, Louis. I mean c'mon cell phones the size of a mini-fridge were quite fashionable in the eighties...

[Gregoshi]

But does it have cool blue/red/green lighting inside and a see thru panel?

Seriously, I'm jealous. Hopefully this summer I can swing a new rig. Enjoy your new toy Furunculus.

[Furunculus]

she's a beaut!

just survived a hour long torture test with Prime95, Heaven and Steam downloading all at once, while overclocked to 3.6GHz, on a hot day (28c)

she got above 43c, and was solid as a rock:

Do you have a mouse and keyboard?

Oh gosh, even the photo is in HD... -_-

reused the mouse and keyboard from the old PC. :p which is now going to become mum's new GTA/Fallout3 machine.

the photo also shows the May picture from my polish girls and coffins calendar!

[jabarto]

Congratulations on your monolithic overkill, I guess...

[Furunculus]

cheers. :)

Your mom plays GTA and Fallout 3?

Congratulations for the rig!

[Furunculus]

She played hundreds of hours of Oblivion, so i'm guessing she'll like Fallout3 too.

Likewise with GTA4, her favourite pasttime in Roadrash back in the Sega Megadrive days was chain-whipping police of their motorbikes as she sped past.

I put Portal on there too.

Cheers, I am contemplating buying a second 2GB 5870 card atm, trying hard ..........to.......... resist!

I have two dell 24" screens (3 if you include the one downstairs on my Media PC), so i need one more 24" screen for eyefinity. :)

[Beskar]

Do you host sleepovers, Furunculus?

[Furunculus]

my house does bare a striking resemblance to a hotel sometimes......... why?

OMG Roadrash!!! I miss that game! Dumb as it was, I loved those low quality videos showing off hot chicks around super fast motorcycles.

[Furunculus]

a second 2GB 5870 VaporX card turned up at work this morning, all i need is the third monitor now. :D

i now have nearly 6 T/flops of computing power, nearly as much as IBM's Asci White supercomputer from 2000!

[Lemur]

OMG Roadrash!!! I miss that game!

I played that game on a 3DO. Yup, I'm an old, old man, and I miss Road Rash too. Don't quite understand how they messed up that franchise. I guess the GTA series is the indirect heir of its gameplay, aesthetic and attitude.

Ditto, that game ruled.

My Greek is rusty. Is this good?

[Tellos Athenaios]

According to Furunculus, it is:

[Furunculus]

i am so looking forward to playing Armed Assault 2 with three screens, i might even get TrackIR 5 to go with it.

that this is possible makes PC gaming truly awesome, that i have the tech necessary is even better. :)

haven't installed the second card yet, got drunk last night instead. birthday celebration for a friend you understand.

but i shall report back on events of awesome portent, fear not.

*Vladimir sits behind his new, high-powered gaming machine after an exhausting week at work. Excited, nervous, his hand reaches for the power button. Then, out of the corner of his eye, he spots the dual monitors. His pulse quickens, he begins to sweat as he realizes this is exactly the same thing he did at work.*

"GAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! "

*is reading this from his dual-screen work machine.......... spooky*

[ICantSpellDawg]

I just bought my second gts 250 for sli to play arma........ I have been making my decisions based on Arma II as well.

[Furunculus]

well, i had to send back the second card, not enough space between the PCIe slots, so i turned the PC off when the fan on my suffocated first 5870 reached jet-turbine speeds. but i sincerely hope that a single 2GB 5870 can run three screens in AA2 - Operation Arrowhead, otherwise i might cry.

[Azathoth]

Bah, I know a guy who makes do with 8 MB integrated video on his motherboard. Also, you seem to lack space for data; I haven't heard much about SSD, but 128 GB doesn't seem like enough. Since you're already buying the most expensive hardware known to enthusiasts, why not pay the extra $1000 for a 512 GB? Which, I might add, you can buy like 10 TB of the regular stuff for?

EDIT: Why not DDR3 1800 or DDR3 2000?
