Approximate Purchase Date: December - I know its a month away and some items might be changed but I wanted to get a general list.
Budget Range: $1600 total ending price after rebates.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Movies
Parts Not Required: OS, Mouse, Keyboard, Headset, Monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, tigerdirect, or any other good reputable site.
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, NVIDIA GPU
Overclocking: Probably
SLI or Crossfire: SLI
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200 basically maxed out on 1 monitor.
Additional Comments: I have made a list basically, I mostly need help with the PSU because I know nothing about that. This will be my first build ever so please look over and make sure that everything I have selected is compatible and works (the graphics cards can SLI 16x16x on that mobo etc..).
I'm also open to changing parts if you know of any that are better and cheaper or basically the same price.
Whats been selected but not set in stone:
Intel Core i7 950 3.06 GHz - $295
GIGABYTE GA-X58A-UD3R - $210 (this does come with SLI bridge correct? if I look at one of the pics and zoom in the bridge says SLI on it)
MSI N460GTX CYCLONE GTX 460 x 2 - $420
CoolerMaster HAF 932 - $90 *thanks to beerhelmet's suggestion*
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB - $70
G.SKILL PI Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 1600 - $150 *thanks to beerhelmet's suggestion*
Just a basic ASUS DVD burner/drive - $20
Cooler Maser Hyper 212 - $30 Could someone please verify that this will fit on my cpu in the above mention case?
MASSCOOLG751 Shin-Etsu TIM - $5
Here are the two things I need the most help with:
CORSAIR Professional Series AX850 850W - $200 *thanks to syxxnyne69's suggestion*
Mushkin Enhanced Callisto Deluxe 60GB(SSD) - $128 *thanks to syxxnyne69's suggestion* Can anyone recommend a better one or more reliable one? Don't know much about SSDs so I'll take your advice
total price = $1618 I believe
Can't wait to hear from everyone! Happy gaming/building!
