What cases you'r using?

[MarvelShockeR]

@RockTouching Silverstone TJ07 With window.

[PCTechTalks]

finally, another left handed gamer! i'm not the only one XD

[MarvelShockeR]

@PCTechTalks The mouse I'm using is the only Left handed gaming mouse around - The DeathAdder. I'd suggest taking a look at it, as its rather good.

[PCTechTalks]

@MarvelShockeR thx man. i have been searching for ages! left handedness FTW XD

[greendayfan115]

@MarvelShockeR man i am a lefty aswell and i love the deathadder it is so nice lol glad to see some other left handed gamers...my only problem is in most games i like to setup custom controls, my friend rages at me when i forget what a key does and i ask him lol

[LiekkiPulla]

@PCTechTalks dude I have friend that is also left handed BUT he uses right hand to move mouse! and that doesnt make any sense to me!

[PCTechTalks]

@LiekkiPulla weird. i cant game with my right hand.

[iDontGiveOne92]

@PCTechTalks Im a lefty aswell, cant find a good left handed keyboard anywhere!? :P

[iDontGiveOne92]

@PCTechTalks Im a lefty aswell, cant find a good left handed keyboard anywhere!? :P

[TheMetro2033fan]

holy FUCK! awesome! much better than my PC

[tupacole]

really bad choice on ur main rig's HDD....why samsung man????

[MarvelShockeR]

@tupacole That drive is one of the fastest mechanical drives at the moment. Plus at £60, its pretty good value for 1Tb and the performance it offers.

[ChaosHusky]

@MarvelShockeR I agree, i have all Samsung drives, 3 of them the 1TB models...but i have a 60GB Corsair SSD for Windows, and a slightly higher overclock + watercooling (4.2GHz... lol all thanks to a new BIOS update from Gigabyte. I have the X58A-UD7 incase you cared... lol what board are you using?) and i'm not joking...POST to desktop in less than 10 seconds, no welcome screen pause, all taskbar icons instantly load (including ATi CCC!) and right now that drive is going for less than 100 quid..

[7Natas7]

[Technotrancefreak]

Hey I got a question how good is my new pc I bought today?:

i5 760 XFX Radeon hd 5870

4 gb 1600 mhz

Asus p7p55D-E

and a 650 watt powersupply?

[MarvelShockeR]

@Technotrancefreak Considering you bought those components, you would have to know they're above average for gaming systems.

[Technotrancefreak]

@MarvelShockeR ahh yeah but just asked :)

[AznDuD333]

@Technotrancefreak

average, i5 might bottleneck if you add in another 5870

[zacker2000]

ummm, water and eleictronics. are you sure that is wise?

[spongebobrules999]

@zacker2000 haha

[MrXtremie]

You must be Sjeikh Mohammad from the U.A.E. right?

[Sinantay]

does your cpu bottleneck

[MarvelShockeR]

@Sinantay If you mean by performance, then not at all. Running it at even 3.2GHz produces results very similar to 4GHz frequencies in games.

[f11rob]

Woot default Windows Media Player music haha.

[royraiden]

Nice rig.

[MarvelShockeR]

Well, I've run the looped Warhead benchmark on Very High settings at my 1680x1050 resolution, and got an average framerate of 85 and a max of 117, with a minimum of 57. It definitely handles crysis perfectly, which is about a 30% improvement against my previous Evga GTX 285 SSC SLI setup.

[RavenholmHunter]

@MarvelShockeR 57 minimum ? Man if i had 57 maximum i would shove my leg down my ass. Anyway im getting new gfx soon so how much fps can i get on these specs, i know it isnt much :

C2D 3.00

ATI HD5770 1GB DDR5

4 GB RAM

500 GB HDD ?

[MarvelShockeR]

@RavenholmHunter With a 5770 and a Core 2 Duo, you'll be looking at an average framerate around 30 with Very high settings.However, I'd definitely consider saving up for a 5850, as it would do wonders for your framerate.

[RavenholmHunter]

@MarvelShockeR That graphic cards is unfortunately out of my league. Im my country its really expensive 600$ sooo this gfx and HIGH settings will work for me :DD

[Amksed]

@RavenholmHunter 2x 5770 > 5850 (Price to performance ration)

[RavenholmHunter]

@Amksed Or HD5830 ?

[FlUdDeStRoYeR94]

How does that handle Crisis?

[MarvelShockeR]

@shangoob666

Over 2000 pounds atleast.

[shangoob666]

nice how much did the computer alone cost? (without monitor and peripherals)

[MarvelShockeR]

It seemed fitting at the time, plus the name of the track just makes me laugh. Just recently, i've managed to break the 4GHz 'barrier' - I never actually bothered achieving it using air cooling because of the temperatures. I also managed to overclock both my 5870s to 1GHz Core frequency which was great.

[madebarriere]

lol, sample music from windows????

Nice setup btw!!!!

[Masterbullette]

cool i got the same mainboard
