X58 or x79? Need help on building a new build ( RESOLVED )

[great_big_abyss]

Ya. I don't get why people are so hesitant to build their own system. I built my very first one last year, and quite frankly, I'm hooked. These days I'm practically upgrading just to get a chance to tinker. You just follow the instructions in your motherboard manual, and take your time.

I should rephrase that. I can understand why MOST people can't be bothered to build a system. But you're commited to signing up to a computer forum and starting a thread, I think that shows the requisite level of interest.

Is there any reason why you are buying from them. You are aware you could buy parts for a system at NCIX, price match them to whoever has them on sale the cheapest, then for only 50$ have NCIX build and test it for you (the hardware, even Win 7 if you bought that from them too)

X79 n NCIX all the way:

Go with Better PSU (1kW) and SLi GTX 580's:

Total: $3,421.13

That will get you started...its just that easy...if you PriceMatch you'll likely be able to chop around $150 or so off of the total coast...get her all into your Shopping Cart, then select th option to "Have the System Built by NCIX" for additional $50!!!

If you decide to beef your GPU's up to SLi 580's (better than a single 590) go with a 1kW PSU.

Enjoy!!!

Same here. I "upgraded" to faildozer last week just to play with it. But yeah, I would not spend 3k on a new top of the line system and let anyone else build it for me.

C'mon guys...think about it from the OP's perspective, if he's going to spend 3K does he really want to fvck with it himself if he has NO experience and isn't comfortable with it??!! NOT everyone here is comfortable with building, I would encourage it, but NOT discourage having Pros take care of it for him if he doesn't feel up to it.

point taken. +$50.00 for ncix guarantee of a working system would be a good idea.
