Thank you in advance for reviewing my build. I have selected parts for your review. There are some caveats that should be considered:
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: < 3 days
BUDGET RANGE: $1200 before rebates.
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Netflix/Hulu video networking to PS3, home use photo/video editing, and general home office.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg.com, buy.com and amazon
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: U.S.
PARTS PREFERENCES: Intel and high quality internals installed in an ATX mid-tower.
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes, when graphics card drops below $100.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: Will replace my Dell 1901FP within 6 months of the build. The new monitor will be on a wall mount.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This is a first time build. Cooling and parts compatibility are concerns. The technical information on the site has been very helpful to date.
1. Power supply – I used the egg and thermal take psu calculators and came up with 590W and 379W respectively. The numbers consider 2 radeon 5750 cards crossfire utilization (possible future upgrade), overclocking to 3400 MHz, 3 case fans. With this in mind, I have the 550 and 750W PSU on the list. What are your thoughts?
2. CPU Cooler – Will this Coolermaster work on my cpu/mobo? Install issues inside the case?
3. Windows 7 64bit – Home premium or Pro?
4. Was thinking about a second HDD (WD Velociraptor) but think a partition on the Caviar Black for the OS + Applications Software will do the trick. Thoughts?
I look forward to your comments.
