Intel Q9450 OC, 8GB 1066 DDR2, eVGA FTW 750i, 2x VelociRaptor 320GB SATAII RAID0, 2x nVidia 9800GTX OC SLI, X-Fi Fatality, 750W PSU.
3dmark06 scores 20k on XP. On Vista x64 it gets 18.5K on my DD settings.
FYI, from your post above... There is no such thing as 3dmark08. Nice try.
From my pocket I only have $300 dollars into it. I would sell this thing for no more than ~$600ish. You are asking way to much for a used Desktop computer. AMD is a truckload of fail in the current market.

Fact is, your machine isn't worth $1,500. My laptop scores 9k, and your "gaming" rig is only 2k more?

to clear things up for all you people who do not know anything about PC's
1. AMD is ****
2. ATI is owned by AMD but is a hell of alot better then NVIDIA
3. 3dmark08 is 3dmark vantage and a Crossfire config will hardly get u 11k in vantage with this computer set up. more like 6 with the CPU he's got.
4. the parts in this computer not including an OS is $1435 (check newegg)
and finally...
5. you said USED. computer is worth NO MORE then 1000-1100 IF ur lucky.
i hate when people try and rip off other people especially in a forum i've been part of for YEARS

lol dude i can give you screenshots of my 3dmark vantage scores and i can give u cpu-z screenshots so dont tell people im going to get 6k in 3dmark vantage when u obviously dont have a clue. my 11,300 score is when my processor is overclocked to a 3.0 and graphics cards over clocked to 690 core 1100 memory clock. if you want screenshots let me know ill be glad to post them for you
Also my comp is worth 1,435 like u said but dont forget i also had to build it. nothing in this world is free. you dont build comps for free. Every PC is technically used but these parts are so new that it doesnt matter so dont tell me im ripping people off. pay attention. oh and dont forget to add about $200 for windows vista home premium 64 bit thats include so its worth 1,635 and im selling it for 1,500.......

i had seen 1800 first. you changed it to 1500 or best offer. still used but 1500 aint so bad
also u never mentioned overclocking anything.
i strongly disagree, ive built my computer probably five years ago with and amd processor and ati video card, but i did upgrade to an nvidia 7950gt atleast a year ago. my computer has had no trouble at all, runs cool, can handle any game i throw at it, even today. amd processors are known in the gaming industry and run very smooth and stable which is what u want with gaming. today it still runs like i just bought it, the speed is amazing, i cant even use any other computer because i flip the **** out because it takes a few seconds to load a page, when mine is almost instant when im browsing. id say amd is the best choose with gaming and editing. intel is better for music and some multimedia stuff.
very wrong. intel beats AMD hands down in every category. check some reviews

just my opinion and the experience that i have had with amd.
id say this is a good deal. in my eyes, today my computer is worth every penny i paid for it 4 years ago.
BUMP for this guy.

nope, ive owned both brands many times, its just a fact, that this time around, intel is ruling in the gaming department, just open your eyes and read a bit and you see that yourself.
your not running any newer games on a 5 year old cpu and a 7950 card, maybe on minimum for games like crysis. And yes 5 years ago, AMD was the king of CPU, but the past few years, they got stomped bad by intel, people who call me a fanboi for stating pure fact is just a fanboi themself, not me.

I currently own a Phenom 9600 Black Edition on a Gigabyte 790FX board and two 3870s in crossfire so I'm plenty familiar with AMD. The performance of the whole rig is truly underwhelming when compared to what Intel has to offer.
Still, I don't have trouble running any games at 1920x1080 with 4xFSAA. What more could I ask for?
At that point you realize that owning anything more than what you needs is about nothing more than bragging rights.
That said, the only thing stopping me from getting a Core i7 when it is released is lack of funds, so I'll probably end up going with AMD again when Deneb comes out.
