mario that mobo can give you an OC of a few hundred Mhz (without overvolting) if the bios supports tweaking.

Not 5k but 2.5k extra(Lightning is 32k all, so about 30k base price), so 2.5k for that card is worth it.
Nice purchase,umm, pics?
PS: Did you buy the TX850 v1 or v2? Tirupati first tried to sell me the v1 via md(getting rid of old stock I think), I had to pursue them to get me the v2.
Zotac GTX 580 is 27.5k all (26.5k+VAT). So you are paying 4.5k extra just for the factory overclock. Massive waste of money. 0.5k extra, I would have considered it but 4.5k is lot of money.
Its TX850 v2, 100% confirmed.
Since the keyboard hasn't arrived yet and I don't have a spare USB keyboard at home, I haven't opened any of the boxes yet. I still have lots to buy. I will post the pics all at once when I get hands on all the components. Just as you say, patience is a virtue!
Congos for the cool purchase!
Well...got the 850tx V2? Sure? Tirupati was trying to pass on the V1 the other day to tkin....
And why the P8Z68? I agree its ok but the V-Pro had two extra Marvell 6G SATA ports...ur gonna need that , dont you?
Think about it rationally man. I know more is better but the P8Z68-V already has four 3GB/s SATA ports which are more than adequate for standard 7200rpm HDDs and there are two 6GB/s ports for SSDs. Will you be ever using more than 2 SSDs? I can't even afford one given their price.
I think for 1300 bucks less, I will settle for 2 less SATA ports when 6 is already overkill. I have actually cut cost at many places by buying less RAM and less HDD than what I had initially planned. This is so that I can buy the GTX 580.
It does not. Thats why I said if I do go for OCing, I have to start by changing the MOBO...
Dang that sucks for you.
I managed to OC to 4.15 in just a day lol.

Correct!
But, um, consider the need to connect 32" LEDTV to GPU!
I dont think you would be moving the PC near your TV or dragging the LED TV to your PC. Seriously its something that can be done without. Unless its a HTPC in which case I will shut up.
I was crying over lack of HDMI port in my monitor and guess what I got one without it and I see no point in why I wanted it in the first place.
If you have use for it. Consider it. After getting a lot of extras I finally realised I was paying for something I would never use.

Treatment in progress...
The fact that its a V2 is reassuring!
Yes...if u dont need those,then the vanilla P8Z68V is ok...it only lacks Firewire(I need it) and a couple of Sata 6G ports...

Nah, I am a very patient person, I'll hold for now, actually I am downloading the drivers and softwares that I will be needing cause I'm upgrading to 64bit OS, this will take time, drivers are 300MB+ each, then the softwares. my 2.5GB limit will go fubar this month.@tkin
OMG, man thats gona be one hell of a rig
hope everybody has parents willing to be looted by their children
why not assemble it with the stock cooler for now?
Need duct tape?TKIN.....nah, I wont say anything..I will just let me jaw hang in midair!!
BTW G41 mobo(probaly MSI) is 2.6k+ @ MD. They have a bunch of them at display back.
Not just a HTPC...this PC serves as my 24X7X365 application, database and VM server currently and in the near future will also act as my casual gaming console and my HTPC...
I dont need to drag the pc anywhere, thankfully the LED is right nearby...actually even if I had to, a 10 m HDMI cable will do the trick!
But you are right...It is an extra. It is not something indispensable. But since I would get it were I to get a 560Hawk, it is nice to have.
Cheers.
Whats the use? When u post pics and benches again post-assembling, it will hang down again!!Need duct tape?
G41? LGA775? Darn, u confused me with Shayem again and I forgot to send u the sms....!! Me needs price of 2x 4GB C9 XMS3s!! No probs, will get it later!!
