Hi, I've recently custom built a new gaming rig.

MSI Pro E X58 Motherboard

i7 920 @ 3.01 ghz

8g ddr3 1600mhz OCZ memory

500GB SATA2 Seagate HDD 7200rpm

ATI HD4890 CF

Windows Vista Home Pre x64
*special thanks to carbon for accompanying me twice on my trek to the computer store* =)

Sounds good. Do you have some benchmarks?

4x FSAA, 16x AF, 1920x1080.

Low end games (in terms of graphics)

Counter Strike Source - avg 294 fps
                                      max 600fps

F.E.A.R                         - avg 190 fps
                                      max 300+ fps

Mid end games

Cod4                            - avg 50-60         
                                      max 70-80
                                      *with maxed out in-game IQ settings. I found these rates to be just a tad lower than expected. perhaps cod4 isn't optimized for ati? oh well.

L4D                               - avg 150
                                       max ~200

H.A.W.X                         - avg 144
                                        max 300+
                                        *forced dx9. dx10 came up with 'could not locate d3dx10_39.dll' error. even though everything's up to date and that file is not missing. lol.

Resident Evil 5               - avg 126
                                        max 150-170? my memory fails me. haha

High end games

Crysis (high)                  - avg 50-60
                                      - max ~120
                                      *dx 9 x64 mode. i think crysis hates ati so i chose dx 9 for some extra frames. though i'm currently using a dx10 cfg :p


These are approximately the benches, i did these a while ago so forgive my obscure memory.

Looks great, I've added you to the Computer Hope SBCC and got your icon added.

thanks! =)
