Hi Guys,
I'm new to the forums and hope i'll find answers in your excellent forum.
Well i'm about to build my first Gaming Rig, i'm putting a budget of around $2600...ya call me insane
it's my 1st rig so it has to be daaaaamn good
Anyways, I live in the Kingdom of Bahrain, it's in the persian gulf, if u don't know where is that have a look here

My 1st concern is the case...Locally i've been able to find the Thermaltake Armor Plus the full tower silver aluminum one (VH6000SWA) and also I've found at another shop the great Antec 1200 !!!!!
I'm concerned a little bit about the noise in the Antec 1200, i've heard it's a bit noisy with stock fans..is it that bad?? I'm gonna keep my rig on 24/7 so I don't wanna come back from work and find a Boeing engine on like what's happening in my current Acer Aspire E700
As for the processor i'm gonna go for the Core i7 965 Extreme Quad Core Nehalem 3.2 GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8 MB L3 Cache Processor and either the Asus P6T Deluxe Mobo or the Asus Rampage II Extreme, although I might not overclock since I haven't tried it before, but who knows I might go for it and become and expert in overclocking
And btw, i'm not going for liquid cooling at the moment, let me try air cooled 1st then later on I could check that.
Sorry for making this soooooooooo long as this is my 1st serious custom built Rig and of course you know what that means.
Thanks in advance.
