This is what i have for now:
1) Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 922 (80$) --> i really like how this looks and performs.
2) Motherboard: ASRock 990FX Extreme3 (130$) --> is this good? should i get Extreme 4 series? what does 4+1 and such mean? is it easy to install and are bios good to use? any problems? does it support 2x 6870 CrossFire ?
3) CPU: AMD FX-4170 (140$)
4) Ram: G.SKILL Sniper Low Voltage Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) (50$)
6) HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue (80$) --> Should i get mutiple smaller HDDs? as one for windows and other for storage? or it doesnt matter? can i divide this HDD into sections like my old ones like E D and stuff? is this HDD stable? do i really need SSD?
7) Power: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650 (90$)
8) GPU: Radeon 6870 HIS IceQ-x (180$)
9) CD Driver: LG (18$)
10) Windows: 7 (120$) --> When is Windows 8 coming out? will it be similar price as 7? are there any chance i can upgrade from 7 to 8? using my old PC but install on new PC?
11) Monitor: ASUS ML249H (200$)
12) Thermal Paste : Arctic silver (10$)
I know Intel is better but i would rather keep CPU under 140 bucks. and i think 4170 is a good bet. by the way, am i missing ANYTHING at all? should i get a wireless adapter? which one should i get? what other stuff am i missing?
