My new 64bit build

I was going to go with a DAW builder but once again cost played a factor.

Here is what I ordered. I already own an Antec P182 silent case to put all this in (it has a DVD drive already):

1 x MB  GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3P-B3 Z68 
2 x MEM 4Gx2 MUSHKIN 996999 RAM
1 x VGA ASUS EN210 SILENT/DI/1GD3/V2
1 x CPU INTEL CORE I7 2600K 3.4G 8M CACHE
1 x CPU COOL NOCTUA NH-C12P SE14 
1 x PSU ANTEC TP-750 BLUE 750W
2 x HD  1T ST SATA6.0 32M ST31000524AS
1 x HD  500G ST SATA3 16M ST3500413AS


Parts are shipping UPS today and typically from Newegg I get next day arrival. This should mean I can start the build on my four day weekend.

Looks great, Bapu!  Enjoy your build!

I heard Spacey is building one out of wood.  I don't know the specs, but it will be a work of art.

coolness!  I bit the bullet a few weeks ago because my Q6600 was starting to fail.

I absolutely LOVE win7!  it boots up SO fast in comparison to winxp!!!!  I skipped vista, but I've used it at work on laptops sometimes.  man that was the slowest booting OS I have ever seen!!!

I only count 9 10 bits on your list,  what are the other 55 54 gonna be?

I was hoping your daughter would wrap up those final bits for me.

Can I have it when you're done, please?

but bit count matters not!

Freddie will disagree with you !!!!

My Q6600 is still working quite well, I'm mainly hoping for lower latency from the new CPU & Memory and of course the 16Gig of memory can't hurt under 64-bit.


I plan on installing both 64bit and 32bit X1 in case I run into any problems with the few 32bit only plugs that I have (Addictive, Jamstix maybe a couple more).

I did the same thing, but mainly for Guitar Rig 3 which does not run on 64bit host even under bitbridge.  but I can still run my projects I started in S8.5/SX1 32bit with GR3 using the SX1 32bit version.

Prices do seem to be coming down.

Here's a similar but slightly lesser spec box off the peg.

That looks to be a darn good price there JB.

It's cheaper than I can source the parts for just now.

It has a low rated psu and a budget (16gb limit) P67 board though.

I can come in at around £450 by dropping the Blu-ray and SSD which I can live without,  I'm saving my pennies already.

I was going to go with a DAW builder but once again cost played a factor.

I was thinking about going the less expensive route building a 63-bit machine

1/64th cheaper (unless you factor in The Bouy Ltd. transaction fee)

Do you want me to put it together for you?

Do you want me to put it together for you?

If you can pop on by at say 2:30PM that would be super.


Better still, send your daughter. She'll get it done...

Just got an email that the order has been shipped from Vernon, CA (about 60 miles from me) via UPS.

It's very likely I'll get it tomorrow around 2PM.

Excited I Am

Do you get the same delivery gal as me?

She is a cutie.  Extremely talented I'd say.

Very unlikely that you're into short squatty Italian guys with a 'stache and hairy legs. I'll not speak of his 'talents' either and I'm not privy to them.


He does leave the box on the porch though.
