I am planning on building a new rig soon, but need second opinions on several parts. This is what I am currently thinking of:
HAF X
EVGA GTX 580
Corsair TX950
EVGA Motherboard
i5 2500k
Hyper 212+
And OEM Windows, Arctic Silver, and a few other things.
Approximate Purchase Date: This month
Budget Range: 1500$, but can go a bit over
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Almost entirely gaming, but a bit of HD movies.
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, soundcard, HDD, DVD drive, and mabye RAM, seeing as I already have 8GB of it.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg.
Country of Origin: United States
Parts Preferences: Intel SB, any mobo (Z68 worth it or P67?), full tower for sure, Nvidia vs AMD dosent matter, I'm open to either one.
Overclocking: Yes, I'm wanting to take a 2500k and push it to 4.2 to 4.5 GHz.
SLI or Crossfire: Mabye, but I'm only using one monitor, so it may be overkill
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1200
Additional Comments: I'm nearly set, I just need help on deciding between mobos, a GPU, and mabye a PSU. Besides that I want a high-end computer that will be upgradable, and prefreably quiet, but I've put up with loud, hot computers before, so thats no big deal.
