First time building - i7 gaming rig

Hi all,

I was about to get a quad core system a couple of months ago, and after some friends of mine got their hands on i7 rigs, well i changed my mind and held it off for a while. Did some research and this is what ive come up with.

What do you guys think? I originally wanted to get 4870x2 but then, its sort of overkill so im just going with the 1. And also, what case should i get? Do you think that RC-590 can fit it all? Was originally going to go with antec 900, but it had a hefty price tag, well sort of

Thanks in advance!

If you're looking for an alternate motherboard, I would take a look at the ASUS P6T (non-deluxe). It is an outstanding overclocker and a solid value. -

I would consider the coolermaster rc690 if you're worried about space. I used it on my recent build and I love it. It's also highly recommended on these forums -

If you plan on overclocking (which I suggest) you should look into an aftermarket CPU cooler. I'll recommend the coolermaster v8 -

I'm not sure about the quality of that PSU. I've never heard of it and would go with a more reputable brand. You should NEVER skimp on the PSU. If you don't plan on adding another 4870 in crossfire, you don't need 750w. I would suggest corsair -

I would also suggest this RAM as it's faster than the gskill set and is really cheap right now -

Samsung has had some problems with their hard drives. You will find that this WD model is the best in the 7200rpm business -

the normal one. If you can afford it, the deluxe V2 is an outstanding board. I used it in my build.

Corsair 750tx

700w would be enough, as long as its from a good brand. Look at PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic, Silverstone or antec to see if you can get a better price. The catch is though that the PSU has to have a 6pin and 8pin connector. I rely heavily on jonny's opinion on PSU's:

Bueno. Seasonic is one of the best PSU manufacturers out there.

The CM 690 is much roomier, but both would be able to fit that, the 590 might require a bit of tweaking like moving the HDD's around. The 690 also has better airflow.
