Will this new build work?

[mobiusrm]

Hello, new to forums and new to building comps. Well anyways I am going to build a new rig when windows 7 comes out, so I do have some time to change some things around and all. I was wondering if this config will work. Or maybe I can save a little money some where. I do want to build a solid performing gaming comp so I do expect to dish out some money for it. If you have any doubts about the system or better ideas please let me know. Thanks.

If your waiting for retail Windows 7 release, it is a little early to be planning, but I would suggest these changes at least for now.

I'm partial to Corsair and PC Power & Cooling for your PSU. For a single 260 you won't need 850 watts, unless you plan to add another soon.

Go for the WD hard drives, but not the ones you selected. WD Caviar Black 640GB.

Double post 🙁.

PSU : go with a Corais or PC-P&C-OCZ (TT, seasonic, Antec, are good too)
there is a PC-P&C 610 in deal right now.

HDD : 7200 rpm 32mb cache. the WD 640 are cheap.

COOLER : your I7 can run 3.8-4.0 on air with this cooling solution (noctua) !!

RAM : i think mushking make DDR3 1600 with 7-7-6 timing for quite cheap. 3 or 6 gb

GPU : nice one, GTX285 if budget is ok 😉

FLOPPY : ??????


Have fun 😀

Thanks for the input. I really like the corsair psu you mentioned. Its much more suitable for my build. I choose the silverstone with sli in mind, but you know I will probably never do it. Thanks again for the great ideas everyone.
