Newegg Wishlist

Ofcourse the wishlist is missing a couple of things, mostly because newegg doesent have it in stock. Its missing a XFX 4890 XXX which is around 210$, a Thermalright True Black CPU cooler, its mounting bracket, and ofcourse the montior, HP w2408h

Ending price should be around 1500-1600, depending on the deals i get, (like microcenters i7 920) and stuff like that.

I decided i dident need the format since theres really no need, i know what im getting and any suggestions would be nice.

I do plan on upgrading to a 58XX in crossfire in time, so that answers one question.

Yes i have though of the HAF 932, 922, 922 is smaller and i do plan on having some epic cable managment, HAF 932 is'nt as stylish as the antec 1200 ;]

I picked deathadder because its shiny, obvously doesent everyone :p


That SAMSUNG Black 22X doesent support lightscribe

Oh and how can i forget about the thermal paste!! Damn thank you for reminding me lol. Instead if arctic cooling mx-2 i think im gonna go with MX-3, thats practically the top of the line ATM

I forgot to mention atleast the X58 will be upgradable, i9's will be X58 compatible

hey, we'll see how things turns out. Looked at bench marks the i7 is a bit better than the i5

Oh why cant the i5 MB's run crossfire or Sli quite as well?
