Ok, so I'm trying to build a pc mainly for gaming, but also for some video encoding and normal usage.
Approximate purchase date: Late June/Early July
Parts not required: Monitor(s), keyboard, speakers, hard drive, dvd-drive
Preferred websites: Newegg, Tigerdirect, Amazon, Microcenter
Overclocking: Yes
Crossfire/SLI: Lucid Hydra (otherwise Crossfire)
Monitor Resolution: 3 x 1280 x 1024 (may or may not be upgraded)
I'd like to use Eyefinity and Powercolor's upcoming HD 5770 Evolution with built-in Hydra so that I can still use my Galaxy GT 240. Otherwise, I might just get a HD 5830 and use the GT 240 for PhysX.
Here's the build so far:
ASRock 890FX DELUXE3 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Motherboard - $150
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.410625
AMD Phenom II X6 1055T + OCZ AMD Black Edition 4GB DDR3 1600 - $310 with $20 rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.414428
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus - $20
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0315397
NZXT Tempest EVO - $110 with $20 rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811146062&cm_re=nzxt_tempest_evo-_-11-146-062-_-Product
OCZ ModXstream - $60 with $20 rebate
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341016
Total: $654.96 before rebates and w/o graphics card
So im guessing the 5770 evolution will be about $185. If they don't plan on releasing it for a while, then I'll just get this:
HIS HD 5830 MW2 Edition

Please tell me what you think, especially on the ASRock board.
