BUILDING an i7 for $850

I guess you missed the post that said I had not purchased a VC yet. I have simply found a good deal on the 4890 and was glad to let the 5850 go. Seems like a lot of chat going on about the two cards you mention and although the 4890 is obviously spawned from the 4870 it has been revealed that...

BUILDING an i7 for $850

Very cool... Im heading to Boulder tomorrow and am planning to stop off in Denver to go to the mico center. This sets my choice on the i5 and after reading another debate over the two VCs the 4890 also seems to be more than enough for me also it is only $189 after rebate. Thanks Russ. Add on...

BUILDING an i7 for $850

Motivating ... glad to hear it... With the recent feed back on this thread and my desire to be resonalbly economical and not buy more than I would use, I am probably going to go for the i5 for $159. The reports and advertisements on the 5850 are so good that I think I will keep to my course with...

The PROS of less $$$

Our economy is sick, we have an epidemic, most have felt the headaches and dizziness of less income than they are accustom to having or at least know someone personally who is suffering these symptoms if not more serious ones due to finances. Of course none of the benefits that come from...

Yeah I am thinking of may be going back to the i5 route but it was you who suggested that it was only 50 bucks more and I should go for the i7. ?

The PROS of less $$$

More money looks like less stress when it comes to paying bills but less stress does not make me truly happy. Just more comfortable. People look happier when they have a boatload of bucks, but I have worked intimately with many of that income bracket and most of them have as much angst and...

The PROS of less $$$

Many times I have ended up in more incredible places than I think I would have been in if I would have had the money to go where I wanted to go. Many times I have seen potentially wonderful relationships end because one or both people had enough money to leave when things were getting...

BUILDING an i7 for $850

I have no experience with Overclocking. I am just learning the ins and outs of how this all works together. I want to give OC a try someday. My last strong computer was a COMPAC that cost over a grand and lasted me for 7 years. There were not many new games I could play. I thought over...

The PROS of less $$$

Hurting for Cash is becoming much more common these days and complaining about it just makes it worse, so I would like to post a few pros about the lack of $$$. These are a few recently experienced. 1.More likely to ask for help and seek out better choices to save the dollars on the...

BUILDING an i7 for $850

I guess I could send back the mobo if I change direction here and the OCZ as far as that goes. My goal is to have a computer that will be better than good enough for the next four years. After reading the i5/i7 reports, and asking a few questions I was under the impression that for a hundred...

That looks great AznAnarchy. Pleae keep me posted when you get it together. Wish I could justify charging more money on my card but the computer just does not promise that much of a return for me to go even futher past the power I can use. Check this out.. With a few slight changes and...

BUILDING an i7 for $850

Yes, I did not include the rebates in my post and some items I might purchase elsewhere at better prices than Newegg, but all and all, once shipping, tax, and gas is included it's going to cost about $1200 and I am really looking forward to my first home build. Already excited about taking a...

Thanks much for your time Russ, In your wisdom you again have address exactly what I don't mention but care a lot about (dbl's). Just read the Newegg reviews on the MSI Cyclone which you say is the (quietest 4890), and the main con is what some call the loudest VC they have ever had. Were...

I could be wrong but it seems I can build better than the bare basics i7 rig for less than $850 Please tell me if I'm wrong and if there is a better way. Every thing is at Newegg, except for the processor which I'm getting at the Micro Center. 1. Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS...

BUILDING i5 that will UPGRADE to i7 ?

Of course I want the i7 $995 processor but at $169 I can buy the i5 and it will give me all the power I need for at least the next year I think. Is it logical to build a rig with the i5 and upgrade it to i7 later when the prices come down?
