I don't have time to post all my specs, I'm in a hurry.

As for your dream pc, 12gb ram ? Why do you need that much unless you're a programmer/developer ?

 

[SpIkE_JoNzE]

[Master_7]

^ Thanks

the rig ur gonna build will be fast as well... though I don't care for that Radeon you want to put in... ; )

 

[spuznick242]

beast stystem. I would have personally gone with a NVIDIA Graphics card, but Radon is still pretty good.

Trust me it's only temporary Although the next one will be Radeon.. it's gonna be a HD 5000 series lol it will perform quite well I'm expecting.

 

[Roger117]

Ohhhhh GTX 285. I might want a 295, better wait for the 297 .

 

[spuznick242]

I would put my machine up here, but its nothing compared to what your all doing. My machine is good, but compared to this its nothing. I havent done anything to it since I got it except a 500gb expansion drive (total gbs is over 1200), and I have an upgraded graphics card to a NVIDEA Geforce 8500 (its good enough for what I do with my comp.) and I also have a liquid cooling system that is way more cooling than I need, but I rather have too much. I havent done any real good upgrades yet, mainly because I'm about to turn 16, and I'm about to get my motorcycle lisence, so I'm working on getting a new motorcycle, which is better than any computer to me.

Well, I've been riding since I was knee high, so I've seen just about anything. I've got 4 wheelers and dirtbikes right now, but I'm not looking to get something outragous that I'm really gona mess myself up on, but I'm going big with the bike Im getting.
