gaming computer. wife will use it. i posted numerous threads trying to get ideas for the best system, i have taken the suggestions gained into consideration and i am now ready. i will purchase these parts june 1st(unless of course i get better suggestions and have to change everything).
mobo: asus p6t deluxe http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.190227
processor: core i7 920 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.190227
psu: corsair 850 tx 850w http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.192905
ram: corsair xms3 6 gb ddr3 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.192905
cpu fan: noctua nh-u12p http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835608007
videoo card: zotac gtx 295 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500094
operating system: windows vista 64 bit. hard drive: WD 640 GB 7200 RPM http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.186064
case: coolermaster centurion 590 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119152
total price with tool kit, wireless card, thermal compound, extra 120 mm case fan, and monitor after shipping is 2006 dollars.
i was originally going to buy two gtx 260s for 350, but in previous posts i was directed to buy a better video card to ensure better longevity with my system. the two gtx 260s will perform close to a gtx 295, from what i understand, and the 150 dollars i would save is enticing, however, 1 1/2 years from now i will need to upgrade, and im sure putting a second 295 in the system will be sufficient. however, im an amateur and this is my first build so i dont really know what im talking about to be honest.
the only questions/concerns i have are - will the gtx 295 fit in that case, i have read a review where somebody had three gtx 280s in there. also, should i save the 150 dollars, get the 2 260s, and buy a newer gtx 300 series card in about a year from now(i hear they are getting released by beggining of 2010).
