I will be placing my order for my first computer build from scratch when the Ivy Bridge CPU gets released hopefully in the next few days.
Most used for gaming also for programming and development with unreal and kinect.
Being my first build, and also a 2k+ build, I am trying to get as much help as possible to be sure everything will work together, well, and possible be great for overclocking after I have gotten the hang of the new build haha.
I will be buying everything from Newegg atm, and already have a HAF coolmaster Full Tower Case. I will be using just fan and heatsink cooling and my fan has like 3 or 4 pre installed huge fans.
Currently at $1800 without CPU and any price cuts items swaps or any thoughts, ideas, concerns, or criticism is fully welcome! (Also and preferred benchmarking and testing tools would be gladly accepted as well)
