Buying all of the components from newegg. Price comes in right at $2,500. This is my first gaming rig that I am trying to build myself – I have built a couple of lower end systems. (FWIW - my current machine is a third generation Dell XPS).
I just want verification that I am not missing anything, buying incompatible components, (or just anything really out of whack) Thanks. I might drop one of the raptors and downgrade to a 8800 GTS to save about $400. Also the power supply is probably overkill – but it comes packaged with the case at an ok price…Also a crazy amount of fans - should I lose a few? This might end up sounding like a blowdryer.
