Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

My rig is final now. Here it is:
Core i7 940-25k
Gigabyte x58 UD5-17k
Corsair 6 GB DDR3-15k
MSI GTX295-35k. Is MSI okay?
WD 1TB-7k
Coolermaster 1000W- 8-9k
Some nice looking cabby- 3-4k

Will be using the same keyboard, mouse and speakers.
Just want a 22" full HD LCD. Shall I go for Samsung 2233 or BenQ E2200?

Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

I would suggest the samsung...

And for GTX295 go for Zotac...It OC's decently and you get free mirrors edge :p

And for RAM, you can contact KMD and get 6GB of OCZ or Gskill (the ones i have) 1600Mhz for 6.4k

Nice pics dude! Hum toh sapne hi dekh sakte hain(for this month) :D
Yeah I'll get Samsung one. Currently I have Samsung T220. It's also a 22" awesome LCD but not HD. GTX295 is worth using with HD :D

One more question. Will Linux support my rig?

Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

@amitash, Zotac? Never heard of it man. I'm OK with MSI :D
As for RAM, I'll go either for Corsair or OCZ.

@ashu, Arrey yaar 10 months se Vista use kar raha tha and it suddenly conked off on me. A BSOD and all gone. So installed Arch Linux :D
Will be Dual booting Arch and Vista on new PC.

Just because you havent heard of it doesnt mean its a bad brand....btw i just got the cooler master aquagate s1 water cooling kit...Will be installing on monday :D

and btw, for full hd gaming gtx295 is not vfm...It will PWN at full HD...The only place gtx295 is actually required is on a 30" monitor with 2560+ resolution...You can also wait for ati's HD4995x2...It may be better than gtx295.

I have my nice little APC 800 VA UPS which I guess is pretty much sufficient for my coming rig.
And yeah,I won't be buying Samsung 2233 as the current Samsung T220 I have has much better specs than 2233. And I don't think HD would look much better on 22". It needs at least a 30" LCD. As for GTX 295 I'm buying it because I want my PC to be
future proof.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Damn!the carpenter messed up my computer table. Made the place for keyboard on right and made a drawer in mouses' place. WTF!
Will get it fixed tomorrow.
Want everything to be perfect before my i7 rig arrives. :D
And yeah I wanna buy a WiFi card for my PC. Any suggestions?

^Go for linksys....
And btw, another gfx sollution which will perform equal and sometimes a little faster or slower would be 2xgtx260 SLI...I got a quote from KMD at Rs 11,600 for one evga gtx260 core 216...So only 23k for two....Im just saying this, cus GTX295 is one of the worst vfm cards ever.

Re: The Official Core i7 (Intel's nehalem) Thread

As for the WiFi card, will it support Linux?
