Frankenstein LIVES!

well i did the imposible i think. i took 5 busted computers and built a working computer. it is unstable and needs some parts to finlize it but its working. i just ran some bench marks in normal and 3d modes and was wondering if you all can tell me if i made a decent Frankenstein PC.

3D Vision


Normal

Run it in 1080? Thats all I use now a days is 1080.

i dont have a 1080p monitor its one the first gen samsung 22" 3d monitors

Looks pretty decent, would play most anything these days at full res as long as you're not terribly worried about it being super pretty. Benchmark software doesn't list the amount of RAM though. How much is in it?

And you should refer to it as FrankenPC, it just rolls off the tongue better.

A Core i7 with a GTX 280 should be capable of playing anything current and in the near future without any issues. I would make sure it has 2 gig at a minimum but 4 gig or 8 gig would be preferable. Ram is so ridiculously cheap that there is no excuse, other than hardware limitations, to have less than 8 gig.

ill get a speak list tomorow whats in this, no idea on psu its lable is missing

i promised to get system specs for you all so here they are. i just dont know what the psu is since all the labels are gone.

Core i7 860 2.80ghz
4.00 GB
EVGA P55 FTW 200
GTX 280 Beta Tester Card
Misttery PSU (label is missing but works)

Looks like a pretty good build all things considering. Hopefully the PSU is a quality one as I have seen many builds plagued by substandard PSU's. Just something to think about.....

i plan to replace the psu with a corsair ax850 as soon as i have some spare money. my stock cooler is failing. im trying to deiced between the evga super clocked air cooler or a corsair h100. if u all have a recommendation it be appreciated.

Get a 650w. Unless you run dual GPU's, you don't need that much power.

Do a Corsair H60. H100 is over kill. H60 with push pull fans is beast.

ideally i want to put dual evga 680's that's why im looking into a 850 and wanting to do a oc on my 2.8 ghz to 4.0 ghz if i can hence why i thought the h100 would be a good choice. if i don't oc i will probably just get the evga supper clocked tower cooler. but h100 leaves me more ram options with tall heat sinks

But if you don't game over 1080, dual cards is pretty pointless.....

well that's my goal to take advantage of nvidias 3 wide play with accessory display. its not being done over one day but it is a goal

Yeah my single 580 takes care of everything at a 1080p resolution with gpu power to spare....but if you want to do multi-monitor gaming you will need Sli also good choice on 680's as you will need the 2gb of vram up in those resolutions
