Comments:
I have never built nor do i know much about the process, but I am tired of spending ~ $2000 for pre-built moderate PC that is outdated in a couple of years and then need to get another.
I like nvdia, but not opposed to ATI if it get me the most bang for my $.
I did not include an optical drive, but need a CD/DVD burner type.
I did choose the Rampage III extreme - figuring it would be upgradable for a while. I am hopeful that this build would last a long time, while doing some upgrades over time. If this Mobo is too much and can get something almost as good for a little less I am open to that as well.
I have a spare internal HD for data storage
I was also looking at a cyberpower build that was pretty close to these specs (maybe a few less highend parts) for ~ $1800.
If I am missing any necessary components please let me know
Thanks in advance for any comments...
