Wow very nice, this is one of the few builds i have seen that i cant find something to improve upon, its a very impressive and powerful build nice job!

 

[polllo]

Thank hunter, I feel better about spending that much coin knowing that others with more knowledge then I actually approve. I was itching to hit the enter key this morning at Newegg. But I really don't want to return parts due to my lack of knowledge.
Thanks again

beutiful build exept I have my doubts about the passive cooler why not go for a noctua nh d14 or u12p?

 

[polllo]

Somebody, this is why I picked the cooler:

http://www.frostytech.com/articleview.cfm?articleID=2481

I'll try it first without a fan, and add one if I need to later. The Coolermaster HAF 932 comes with three huge case fans already. So I'll add one only if I really need it.

1000 watt is overkill, imho ssds are a waist, and i would get 9 sticks of ram i also like samsung f3 over western digital

 

[fastx21]

Agreed I would go for a samsung spinpoint F3 myself, or others like the seagate 7200.12s but I suppose if it's cheap enough and only used for storage then that's fine.

If that memory is a cas7 or better set then I don't see anything wrong with the list.

Wow I'm about to hit the buy button on almost the exact same system!

Intel i7 930
ASUS P6X58D
G.SKILL 6GB (3 x 2GB) DDR3 SDRAM
XFX HD-587X-ZNFC RADEON HD 5870
Intel X25-M SSDSA2MH080G2R5 2.5" 80GB SSD
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 1TB HD
LG Blu-ray Model WH10LS30 OEM
Windows 7 OEM
XIGMATEK Dark Knight-S1283V 120mm CPU Cooler
Antec CP-850 850W Power Supply
Antec P183 case.

I've bolded the differences, lets discuss (prices in Canadian $)

- G.Skill vs Corsair, is there really any difference? The G.skill has a CAS latency of 7 and is $183
- Intel X25M I've only heard good things and 80gb is enough for me and its on sale for $214.99USD (not sure if I can ship to Canada)
- 1TB is enough for me and seagate vs WD again..prob no difference. $89.99
- I can't find your blue ray model on newegg. I have the WH10LS30 for $169
- Cpu cooler I prob don't even need but I may overclock slightly.
- 850W should be enough ($140)
- My friend has the p183 and the quality blew me away. $169 is a lot for a case but I plan to keep it for a while.

My total is $2,284.40 without the usd price for the ssd.

I'd say go with the GTX 480. I know I will over the 5870. Unless the eyefinity thing is really up your alley.

The GTX 480 won't be really reliable for a while yet, you always want to wait a while for all the kinks in a new card to get worked out. Plus, he could also get an HD 5970 which is even better than the GTX 480! Of course that would be another $100 over the GTX 480, which is another $100 over the HD 5870.
