nice nice. but heres the thing. ive been working with my computer for many years. that means i have alot of parts. so why not. and intels are cool however im let you in on a secret. they are the apples of the cpu world. ive had many intels and each one of them has failed on me some how. i even had an old i7 that i swapped out for the amd hex. its just as fast is not more and its more stable. and if your going to be hooking up 4 monitors having a second graphics card is pretty useless. thats why i put my second 5870 in my media server. i mean now im plotting for another 2. but later on so maybe ill be getting a second card. the ram is fine. your power supply wont really match you need a least 1k watt. and is your motherboard a crossfire? if not it will cause some issues later one. granted you have a nice set up going there. but unless you have the acquired the funding your not gonna go anywhere fast. start off small and build a nice budget pc like i started, i have a list to make a pretty decent gaming pc for under 700 and then as time advances then start building the behemoth.
but again i dont see a need for "2x MSI R5770 Hawk Radeon HD 5770 1GB (Crossfire)" maybe 1 but unless your gonna be working with 4 monitors. but otherwise its pretty bleh, and dont say your gonna bridge them. bridging just allows the graphics cards to work in unison. it doesn't help the gpu work harder or faster. also i forgot to mention this.intels specially the Bloomfield *had one* the stock fan doesn't help keep it cool so you need a better cpu cooler. and if your computer doesn't have a good ventilation system. it will suck. another things for you to think about. the 5770 is a big card. it barely fits into  an atx mid size tower. so you should get and the atx full size. if you haven't plotted on one.

does it matter if you have nividia (sp?) or ati on an intel?

[Skitty]

nivida is more to intel while ati is amd.
when you have a pny or anything that has a nvidia chipset you wana stick with intel. when combining those two they unlock a certain potential that amd and nvidia don't. Same with ATI and AMD in fact ATI is AMD's daughter company. that includes the crossfire line. so if you have an intel system go with nvidia, if you have an amd system go with ati.

[vb286]

so intel/nividia, amd/ati works better together hmm makes sense.

[Skitty]

you learn much after 7 or so years building a pc XD also liquid cooling isnt all that its hyped up to be. if it is installed incorrectly or if it has a small leak it can ruin the entire system. (experienced this)

[No one.]

liquid cooling in a computer o.O? Never heard of that o.o;

[Skitty]

yeah. liquid cooling system. it uses the same setup as a fridge.

[No one.]

Had no idea they put that in computers x.x - what else do they put in there that I don't know yet x.x?

I don't plan on getting Eye-finity, nor do I plan to get a full tower. I've done MASSIVE research on everything I'm getting and it all works fine. I didn't list EVERYTHING I plan in buying, but I know the stock heatsink is crap. I'm doing a summer program and getting paid 3K. So everything will be fine. I'm a Music Producer, so I need a POWERFULL rig. I plan on getting OSX Snow Leapord and partitioning Win 7 Ulti. The tower has MORE than enough room for everything I need. The heatsink I'm buying is a ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 92mm Fluid Dynamic CPU Cooler. I checked out all the power consumption and 850 is still overkill. A couple people told me to just get a 750, but I'm not taking chances. I'm replacing all the stock fans and adding some nice Red LED ones. I know what I'm doing~ -_^

[Skitty]

dont need to get so angry cause i gave you some pointers
and im a graphic designer, web coder, i need a powerful computer too. however i have invested alot of time to my pc. so dont get all prissy on me cause i nit picked your "rig" cause you posted your specs. you should know by now that i would do that.
AND THE EYE FINITY IS NOT WORTH ITS MONEY RIGHT NOW

[YaBoyJDub]

I would never get angry at you Skitty! D: I was just telling you ^_^; And I just figured out that none of that hardware is compatible for Mac... So I'm going with Win 7 Ultimate... I still want to see your art >.>

[The Doctor]

I'ma slap you all for derailment.

[Skitty]

skitty says: NOTHING EVER IS COMPATABLE WITH A MAC. actually if you wanted to do that. you should get the g5 tower. and work off of bootcamp. i have an 2 year old macbook pro and i run it like that. thats really the only way that it works 100%. also ask around. i do have an portfolio hidden on one of the modding land sites.
