when they say ''2 x PCIe 2.0 x16 (single at x16 or dual at x8/x8 mode)''

i though it meant it wasnt SLI capable =/

still learning

Im almost certain there isnt a video card yet that can max out a x8 lane, so its fine.

Some motherboards only offer sli or crossfire, but i think this one offers both.

oh. I thought x16 was a must for both pci-E lanes

Totalt:
14.228,00 , you can go down to 11k if you remove 1 of the 5870s, realistically, it would still destroy everything you throw at it, but I figured I would use your budget if you gave it.


You'll have to ignore Nuke, who doesn't realize the only people who need an I7 are Video Encoders and people similar to that, who run processor intense tasks....Why waste an additional 3-4k for something you won't benefit from? makes no sense...She also gave you 2 underpowered cards compared to what my build offers, less ram, no solid state drive

She basically overpaid for Intel/NVidia garbage....Fucking fanlezbo


Im offering a Great Quad Build, Awesome Mobo, More Ram than Anyone, better video, a Quality ( though not overpriced ) Power Supply Unit

The 2 Cons, if you can call it cons, is only 560 GB of space, and the I7 would be better in Benchmarks, which is hypothetical situations involving pushing it to it's limit.

Can save 1000 Noweigan by using this 5970 instead

http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=518743

5970 = 2 x 5870s

13k Norweigan instead, however alot of people say that 5870s in Xfire operate better on most programs and games than a 5970 at the present moment.

Why do you even post? If you have the budget for it a i7 is awesome!

You picked 1333 RAM, and 8GB is no where needed.
Dont need a 950W PSU
AMD in a 2K build does not make sense brah.
Can do better on the case.

an i5 rocks enough imo, can put more on other stuff

hardware and software in norway are expensive =/

agreed with you on everything else

see my build if you havent already

bitg_pj, thanks but I think I would prefer intel build.

swordknight, thanks for your help and input as well.

I have put together a computer on myself from the tips and advice in the thread (Just to see what you guys think of it).

I added more ram, but not sure if it's needed, but it wasn't that expensive for 12gb so I tried.
The price is 20k nok which is like 3300 usd (with software included). I can live with the price, but of course I don't want to pay more for what may not be nescessary.
-> Minus taxes it is like 16k nok, and considering I don't pay salary taxes before I buy the computer, it would be about equivalent to me buying it personally for 1500usd.
-> Fuck office is expensive -,-

Why is the i5 CPU that much cheaper?
Not sure if 850W PSU is right, but I went with that from what I see here.
I loved the cooler master midi tower, but I see it didn't have dust protectors at the fans, and my impression was that the 900 tower was slightly better. not sure, but both looked great.

Anyways here my try so far. I decided I'm gonna give some more fg, because people are so helpful, and not only just to one person

Not really worth it for the 2x 465s

get this card instead at the same pricetag

http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=593166

480, and then you can SLI later if need be.

everything else looks good, considering you went with Intel good choices, best of luck
