Default 7850 Kuma Build & 955BE Build

Build 1:
So I finally finalized my build for my new build. I know a lot of you have given a lot of input on my build and I'm going to go back through and make sure you all get the credit you deserve for that. I also know Ive probably bounced around more build revisions than most people and I appreciate your patience with me on that. So anyways, here are the 2 builds:


CPU: AMD 955BE
Cooling: Megahalem with Push+Pull and OCZ Freeze
Mobo: DFI Lanparty DK 790FXB-M3H5 AM3
RAM: 4GB G.Skill DDR3 1333 8-8-8-23
VGA: (2) Sapphire HD 4870 1GB
HD: WD Caviar Black 640GB
Optical: HP DVDRW w/lightscribe
Opitcal: Salvaged Lite-On DVD-ROM (current sigrig drive)
Case: Cooler Master HAF 932
PSU: Corsair 1000W
LCD: Hanns.G 21.5" 1080P
Keyboard: Saitek Eclipse III
Mouse: OCZ Eclipse

Banks have support that helps!!! My cards fraud monitoring kicked in after the newegg purchase, i called at 2:30AM and they unlocked it for me now i can order the megahalem!


Build 2:
For my dads computer Ill be salvaging his optical drives and possibly his HD depending on the condition its in. Ill also be salvaging all peripherals and monitors. All he needed was a general light duty workstation with the ability to do some minor CAD work.

CPU: AMD 7850 Kuma 2.8GHz dualcore
Cooling: Stock
Mobo: ASRock A790GMH (wrong board calling newegg in the AM)
RAM: 4GB G.SkillDDR2 800
VGA: XFX HD 4650 1GB
HD: WD Caviar Black 500GB
Case: Antec Three hundred
PSU: Corsair 450W

When all the components come in Ill get pics of the builds up and of the OCs on my 955, doubt ill OC the 7850, its just not necessary to do so. My fathers machine will be first as i don't get payment for it until its delivered (building it at cost). Afterwhich Ill be setting up my own with F@H immediately on my new rig in honor of my now late grandfather (3hrs ago).

So you looking for feedback or just showing the rigs?

Feedback: great picks. The budget one is fine. Just one question about the upper PC, why 4870s and not 4890s? And a slightly random comment, the Saitek Eclipse III isn't a good board at all. Overpriced and flimsy.

Sharing and opinions, and the reason for the 4870s is money and noise level. I got the saitek because at the time it had good reviews but its changed dramatically over the last week. Either way the order wasnt processed yet so ive got it cancelled so i can get the right MB and switch the keyboard to a G11

Well I just finished the 7850 machine for my dad, its up and running with Vista x64 for now. Runs quiet as can be, i wish mine were that quiet. Also wish my megahalem would show up. It went on backorder at heatsink factory, but was cheaper there. Anyways, Ill get pics up tomorrow.

The problem with the order was resolved by canceling the order and reordering that morning before funeral arrangement planning started.
