Just so you know Chris, I built two core 2 quads q6600s yesterday, and they are VERY quick! definitely a top choice.

so how do you like the computer. I am looking at building or buying a new system very soon. I am looking at the dell xps system right now it seems to have everything needed for 3ds.. does anyone have any experience with the dell xps 720 or 630 system. I am interested to hear from anyone that has used one for 3D.

Well well, last week I was very badly ill for whole one week. Blame to bad weather.

So Really last weekend, I've got all complete build my own PC expect only one left missing that Im still waiting order Power Supply Unit (PSU) from warehouse. They are out of stock last week -. Until now, Hopefully they will delevier to my house either tomorrow or Thursday. I still annnoy waiting now. I wanna get on play my computer.

Only problem is I was relased stupidly that I've got very cheap ATX midi PC Case was bit small squeezed for large motherboard and massive video graphic Card fit into case (maybe will show photo later). I should have go for large one. Never mind this.

When I 'm done build PC and boost up BOIS then I will report back to you end of this week Okay. Hopefully it was good fast enough for me. Easy to build one.

I find most useful helpful advice from www.tomshardware.co.uk. It's brillant information expect I know they are mad hardcore gamer but I'm sure close similar one to 3D designer for you all. I think you should go have a look compare advice at Tom's Hardware forum and CGArchitec forum.

I finid interest about Tom's Hardware recommend about PSU. They advice us dont go for cheap one crappy can damage into your motherboard. See below click here for list of Tier group of recommend. Also there have PSU Calucator to suit your need.

Also they say to me that 100GB Hard drive disk is too small. common one go for 250GB HHD.
