Approximate Purchase Date: next two weeks
Budget Range: 1100 (can go as high as 1150) before rebates /lower = more games to play but want the best computer I can get for now
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, surfing the internet, watching movies
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor (2x HANNspree By Hanns-G HF225DPB Black 21.5" Full HD WideScreen LCD Monitor w/Speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com or tigerdirect.com, or anything else cheaper
Country of Origin: U.S.
Parts Preferences: doesn't matter just want a roomy case with good cable management. was thinking of antec df-85 and ASUS mobo unless there is something with equal quality and as easy to OC. The mobo i would also like to be full ATX so I have better airflow between cards and am not smashing things against each other. Would also like to include a decent SSD (can drop if I have no other choice)
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Yes (in future unless i can fit in decent ones now)
Other: Would like to see it with a side window in the case
Additional Comments: good frames and fast for gaming.
the build:
Intel Core i5-2500K/ASUS P8P67 PRO (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS -369.98
Not sure if I need a z68 or if the p67 would be better
Case: Antec DF-85 Black ATX Full Tower Computer Case -154.99
PSU: Antec EarthWatts EA750 750W Continuous Power ATX12V version 2.3 SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC -89.99
Not sure on this also is this big enough or is there something better for the price range
GPU: XFX HD-695X-CDDC Radeon HD 6950 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.1 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card with Eyefinity -289.99
Ram: G.SKILL Sniper 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBSR -59.99
CPU Cooler: CORSAIR CAFA70 120mm Dual-Fan CPU Cooler -63.00
Also is this the best that I can get for under 75 or is there something better. As I would like a decent overclock and was hoping to get it to around 5.0ghz
SSD: OCZ Agility 2 OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) -104.99
More input on this how well is OCZ brand and will this be the best bang for the buck as far as the SSD goes?
CD Rom/ HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive /ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM -74.48
Total 1307.41 So I am approximately over by $200
Any help would be greatly appreciated and I also need some recommendations as I am somewhat current just need some advice especially on case/psu/mobo/SSD/CPU Cooler
