Final Build Changes?

[weknowhowtolive]

Ok so I posted awhile ago and got some good ideas, here's what I've come up with. Any last minute changes?

Approximate Purchase Date: Probably this weekend

Budget Range: $1100ish before rebates/shipping/tax

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, watching movies, web surfing, homework etc

Parts Not Required: Monitor, keyboard, MAYBE mouse/...I have an old Diamondback and pad I really dont want to reuse but I guess I can for awhile.

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, maybe others but everything needs to come from ONE site and one site only. They also need to accept checks.

Country of Origin: USA

Parts Preferences: Corsair PSU, GSkill RAM, Gigabyte or ASRock mobo with good reviews

Overclocking: Maybe but not to start, do not want to buy aftermarket cooler yet

SLI or Crossfire: No

Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050, also buying a HDMI mini to HDMI cable so I can run it to my TV for movies...so 1920x1080 or whatever it is

Additional Comments: I dont NEED a quiet PC but all of the parts i've picked are rated as pretty quiet so if it comes down to saving a couple bucks for a major bump in noise i'd rather not do that. I also hate lights. The less light my computer puts off the better. I do not want to get parts that run below average stock but have OC room, or parts that have value only when OC'd. I have no problem overclocking but I want parts that run as advertised at stock speeds. One last thing, I do NOT need future proofing things like PCIe 3.0 or motherboards that take future socket CPUs etc. If something comes with it and is budget then thats fine but I do not want to pay more for something I will probably never use.

Here's what I have so far:

750w psu for dual 560's. If it were dual 6950's you could get by on a 650w psu, but not with dual 560's.

SLI or Crossfire: No

Nevermind, just went through the entire first page of the forum and noticed every post you make is just recommending people upgrade their PSU to run SLI/Xfire even though none of them said they wanted to and only listed one card.

I missed the part where you marked no on the dual vid card set up and took it for granted that someone spending $250 on a board would go with dual vid cards.

I dont know if you mean motherboard or GPU but neither are 250. The GPU is about $200 after rebates.

-edit-

if 200-250 is a large sum for a GPU and doesnt need to be spent unless I'm going SLi, what single GPU would you recommend in its place then?

I know you you don't plan on going with SLI but ...I'm saying but if you had the option for no extra cost I can see where it would be doable.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.730392 <------ combo

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.723046 <----- combo

http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboDealDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.696136 <----- combo w/promo code $5 off w/ promo code EMCKAHH23, ends 9/28

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233 <----- larger case that allows room for a decent size cpu h/s

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157271 <---- if rear 3.0 USB ports are enough and you don't need a front USB 3.0 header this board is a bargain.

Thanks for the Windows combo, didnt see that.

Cases are a pain in the ass for me to pick out, which is why I settled on the one I did. I cant have the top air ducts because I'm in a tiny room and drinks regularly get placed/spilled on the top of my case.

I actually dont need a DVD drive, I have a few laying around. Forgot to mention that.
