I'm about to build my first comp, and based on feedback in other threads, i've picked out every part but the case and cooler. However, i'm not sure what to look for in those.
here is what i have
cpu- i7 920
mobo- asus p6t
gpu- radeon 4870 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121291
hdds- either 1 or 2 caviar black 640 gb's (raid 0 if 2 of them, and if i get one, i'll get an ssd when the price drops a bit)
memory- http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145222
psu- antec truepower tp-750
i'll be able to find a dvd drive no problem, but i wasn't sure about the case, and if i needed a cooler. i don't really know what to look for in those. someone did suggest a scythe mugen cooler to me, but idk if i need it.
also, is there anything else i need to build the comp. i know i need paste, but does that come with the cooler? and i heard i might need an 8 pin extension cable because a bottom mounted psu might not reach the cpu.
thanks for any help you give.
