So we kinda played around with a few ideas and then came up with this...
That is an amazing and costly rig for a casual gamer. I cant wait to see the benchmarks. Definitely one of the top builds to have graced this forum.

We all know what you do with your rig...

He doesn't watch your everyday, run-of-the-mill high-definition porno?

The great thing about this rig is your dad won't have to change a thing for at least two years. We don't know how quickly those GTX 280s will age. I'm guessing they'll still be a great solution in four years.

If the first 280 is in a 4X slot, I wonder how much it affects performance, if any.

Because I do more than just GAME and it's a pair of 4870 X2's (that's what CrossfireX is). What is seems you're dad needs a computer of such specifications is because he wants to fit into the crowd. I bet he won't even use the computer to the full extent that he would need. He's not even a dedicated or hard-core gamer and he want's such specifications.

What does it matter how his dad will use it? He wants a gaming rig that won't bog him down. He's about to have one.

Who cares man?
Everyone knows there's a difference between WANT and NEED.
Especially here, who are you to give him **** for it?

Fit into the crowd?? his dad doesn't post on here lol Its the internet anyways who cares...I know if he wanted to fit in he would of bought a pair of 4870x2 those are more popular among overclock.net

Why do people like me get amazing rigs? cause we can...You do know most super car owners dont even drive over 1,000 miles a YEAR.. We just do it cause when we need something we want the best so we can do whatever it is we want to do without any problems.

FIRST, ACCEPT ONE FACT:
I don't want to argue.

-------------------
But...I don't know which car do you drive and which school you ended, how big your house is, but if you have i7 and crossfire cards you aren't rich.

I'm a teen and i could bought the same rig as you did if I wanted(needed) it.I will probably buy new gfx but not because i need it, just because few friends has 4870 or 4870 and my "need" wish more.

It's nice to have people dedicated to pc needs so we can see pics but mainly there are few facts about richness and showing to be rich.

In the world, we live in is being rich considered as having 0 depths.I see many "rich" people with new cars, remarkable and gorgeous house, and i bet most of us are just: when will he loss his job?

I love you iggster, but being rich and "rich" is different.

I don't know about you or tht-kid and if i tell you the truth, i don't even want to know= i love pics

For the start and end i will use my friends words:
"Arguing on the internet is like running in the Special Olympics: Even if you win, you're still retarded."

I hope you all rich uys know what i mean.

My life exp.: Healt is everything.

Peace and lovin' ya all
