Ok so from all the requests that i had since i wrote the post on that other used case topic, I decided to open another topic in building a Rig (Only case for...

xterm

AVOlio wrotecause all the time its ticking when the electricity goes off, even if we turn everything off in the house)

This EXACT problem happened to me when i had 6.5A.

When I upped to 10A, the problem stopped occurring.

I solved this issue by buying a 1000va online ups

AVOlio

Guys, Xterm , Rubz
What kind of problem are you talking about ?!
You mean the UPS wont handle the attachments ?! and when electricity goes off, they will be turned off also?!

Also guys, still no one has given me an answer to this,
If i get Any UPS, should i keep it plugged in and charging all the time ? or should i turn it off when not using ?!

AVOlio wroteWhat kind of problem are you talking about ?!

I already told you, it's exactly what you said earlier.

AVOlio

Oh ok. now i get it.
So its not a problem with the UPS.. the UPS will keep the attachments on, but just the generator will tick.
thanks,

So how about some help with the Keeping the UPS charged all the time or not ?!

@AVOlio: Mate, it is sure that you should keep the UPS charging all the time.

@ AVOlio : if you have a descent UPS you should keep it plugged in and charging all the time , because it will monitor the battery charge state and shut the charging off automatically .

AVOlio

Hmm, thanks guys

@AVOlio,

three month ago i bought MGE Eaton E-Series NV 2000H 2000VA from pc and parts and it's perfect, under full load it lasts 10 min, i really recommend it.

AVOlio

10 minutes ? What are the attachments man ?

cmwic

2 pcs + tv ,one pc has gtx 580 and other has gtx 280

btw, the ups has indicator for load amount and battery power remaining

solo220

guys are you talking about BACKUP UPS ??
because an MGE Eaton E-Series NV 2000H 2000VA is a backup/ surge protection UPS so 10-15 minutes is normal .

cmwic

yes exactly

shant

Rubz wroteI believe the "telephone ports" are so that you may pass your phone/network lines through the ups for surge protection

could be, as i said i saw a cable like that but i don't know what its for, oh and the cables was on a very weird website, could have been just a fake pic

hey guys i just want to ask you , which one is the best : gtx 670 gtx 680 or gtx 690 ??
are is the price of each one and where can i buy it from because pcandparts doesn't have them yettt

Beej

gtx 690 costs 1000$ in usa, i saw it for 5200 derhams ( more than 1400$s). It is the highest performer with the highest price tag.
Then gtx 680, then followed directly by a mere 10% is the gtx 670.
So the best card is the gtx 670. You can find it @ ROG store or contact tarek el khaledi here on lebgeeks.

I think the gtx 690 from his store costs the same as UAE's, dunno how he can pull this one off...

rorosas

where is the rog store? any link?

Ok guys,
So months have passed , and i cant wait to get my new rig, which will be hopefully next month,
And since my friend decided not to help me anymore, i need your opinions again to help me end my decision.

Here are the new specs of my future rig:

- Intel Core i7-3770K - Ivy Bridge - 3,5GHz - 8MB L3 Cache - Quad Core (LGA 1155) - PRICE: 500$ T.T.C.
- ASUS GTX 670- DCuII - 2GD5 - PRICE: 750$ T.T.C
- ASROCK Z77 EXTREME4 (Z77 Chipset / Socket 1155) - PRICE: 250$ T.T.C.
- G.SKILL SNIPER Series DUAL CHANNEL/ 1600MHz/ 1.25V/ 8GB (2 x 4GB) - PRICE: 160$ T.T.C.
- WESTERN DIGITAL BLACK EDITION 1TB / 7200RPM / 64MB - PRICE: 132$ T.T.C.
- CORSAIR HX 850W - PRICE: 300$ T.T.C.
- PIONEER DVR-219 DVD RW - DUAL LAYER SATAII BLACK - PRICE: 35$ T.T.C.

Its a total of apprx 2200$ but without a case! Since the case i wanted is not in stock anymore @pcandparts.
So i still need to decide which case!
Also a UPS, i will get a 2200 VA one,
So lets say the total will be a 2500$ rig!

But lets forget money talk for now,
What do you think of the specs i chose above ?!

why not get an LGA2011 system, it's cheaper and better
3.60 GHz - i7-3820 for 340$ TTC + Intel DX79TO 237$

or if you want to stay on the LGA1155, get some cheaper cpu like the 3.4 GHz - i5-3570 for 250$ TTC, it's like 5% slower than the 3770K and 50% cheaper

I encourage you to invest in an SSD too for the money difference in the cpu/mobo
Transcend TS128GSSD720 128GB SSD 160$ttc

check tom'shardware 2K$ build released yesterday
http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/pc-building-overclocking-buyers-guide,3277.html

and isn't the vga tremendously expensive?
maybe you can find some HD7970 which is equivalent to the gtx670
pc&p has the Inno3D GTX670 2GB for 604$ so why the 150$ difference and don't tell me it's an asus

and maybe get a 22$ dvdrw because they are all the same

and 2x 8GB Kingston DDR3-1333 for 108$TTC because in your application those special low latency edition rams are useless and you will only care about the amount of ram

and I advise you to get the case ThermalTake VN400A1W2N Commander MS-I for 60$ because it's new and it's large and I have one like it and I compared it to another 150$ case that I had and the commander is better

so no need to spend a small fortune for a good pc man
you can still go for a high end i5 and get the same results if you're gaming

Good Luck
