Hi. I've used PCs from Hp and Dell but this time I decided to make a custom PC of my own. If you have any suggestions or comments, feel free to throw them at me
-i7 920 $200 + tax20 = 220 microcenter
-2 x XFK HD4890 1GB $200X2=$400 compusa.com
-Cooler Master RC-932-KKN1-GP case $120 + tax10 = 130 microcenter
-CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W $111 amazon.com
-OCZ DDR3 1333mhz 2X3 RAM $75 amazon.com
-OCZ summit ssd 60GB new factorysealed $190 ebay.com
-Logitech 967740-0403 Black 104 keyboard $17 amazon.com
-Logitech laser mouse mine
-----
$1747 (tax,shipping incl)
I am pretty much ready to order them, unless you have some better suggestions for me.
And I do have some last-minute questions.
-Do you think the 850W power supply would be enough? This concerns me a bit, because I am will be using two GPUs.
Looks like i will have to pay almost double if I wanna go beyond 1000W.
-Would 1333mhz RAMs be a better choice than 2000mhz? 1333mhz RAMs cost about half.
-Is there any mobo you would recommend more than ASUS P6T SE?
-Do you think there is any potential compatibility issues?

Good price on case from Microcenter and good choice.
Same goes for PSU from Amazon.
Would suggest you get one of these two OCZ kits, even though they will be a bit higher in price. OCZ XMP Ready Series 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 OCZ3X1600LV6GK $109.99
($99.99 after $10.00 Mail-In Rebate) Free Shipping*

OCZ Summit price looks good, but would also suggest you take a look at this one from OCZ. OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD) – Retail $229.00 ($199.00 after $30.00 Mail-In Rebate) Free Shipping*

Price for WD 1TB Caviar Black is comparable to NewEgg and very good choice.
Again price at Amazon beats NewEgg, this time on your Mobo selection, but here is where I can save you some money by using NewEgg Combo’s.
Combo Option #1 1. OCZ Technology, Inc. OCZ3X1600LV6GK: $109.99
2. ASUS P6T SE: $209.99
Combo Discount: -$22.00
Now there are some other Items you will need for this Build, I will list them below.
You will need this Power extension cable when using bottom mounted PSU case, unless you rather have 8-pin power cable running across the length of Mobo.
Now you could stay with the stock Intel CPU HSF Cooler, if you will not be Overclocking. But if you do want to OC, then I would suggest this CPU Cooler.
Subtotal for Combo Option #1, along with using the selection for Graphic card, OCZ Vertex SSD I suggested. $1442.96 before shipping costs and MIRs' deductions.
MIRs' total = $55.00
This is also before adding the extra Items (8-pin Power Extension, Thermal Compound items and CPU Cooler)
Subtotal for Combo Option #2, along with using the selection for Graphic card, OCZ Vertex SSD I suggested. $1432.96 before shipping costs and MIRs' deductions.
MIRs' total = $55.00
This is also before adding the extra Items (8-pin Power Extension, Thermal Compound items and CPU Cooler)
I hope this helps you out some, good luck on your upcoming build.
