I'm gonna order a Asus Xonar D2X PCI-E later for it ready for the GTX 580.
Then I'm goning to upgrade the mobo, CPU and RAM to i7 and water cool it, using the same TFC 480 rad, DDC 3.2, not sure about res yet.

Then these parts will be used in Rig 3 which i will rebuild in a Coolermaster CM-690 II Advanced.

You going with Sandy Bridge i7? They are out on 9th January.

[Lloyd_mcse]

If they out that soon then yeah

EDIT: Just ordered the Asus Xonar D2X, I'm looking forward to seeing how well that performs in BC2, should be good, if the Asus Xonar DX is anything to go on

Please paint the inside of the case black.

I read the i7 next gen 2 (they dropped the words sandy bridge) the in built gpu is on par with a Radeon HD 5450, so what happens when you plug in another gpu?

[Outcasst]

They didn't drop the "words" sandy bridge... Why would they drop the codename? That's like dropping Westmere, Kentsfield e.c.t.

Also, the IGP on the chip won't work when another GPU is "plugged" in... just like any other IGP.

Yes they are just not gonna call it sandy bridge... i have never said i have had a kentsfield etc thats like someone asking what car you have and you say a ford?
Might as well say the model and then everyone knows what you have.
