I've been doing my research and am finally just about ready to buy. I only want to get opinions on some parts choices.
I'm open to suggestions on the case an the RAM if you have any, the rest are pretty straight forward.
I7 920
MSI Eclipse SLI http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130215
WD Velociraptor 300
WD Cav 1 Tb
Pioneer Blu Burner 8x
Cooler Master 1000 Cosmos http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119138
Corsair DDR3 1600 12gb
Samsung SyncMaster T260 (Already bought)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
On these parts I'm not so sure,
EVGA GF GTX 295 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130453
Corsair 1000HX PSU http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139007
CPU Fan & Thermal compound?
I'm hoping that the PSU can handle future upgrades, I plan to add more HDDs, upgrade the RAM once prices drop, and I'll likely add an additional GTX 295 later on as well. The Corsair was suggested to me and I want to get some more feedback as I don't really understand how one goes about selecting a PSU. Tips will be appreciated. I just want something that will be able to keep up with the upgrades and be good for the system in the long run.
As far as the GTX 295, I've looked at the EVGA and PNY models, but can't spot any differences other than color and price. Any help you can give will be appreciated.
I'm planning on a modest OC to 3Ghz, and would like suggestions for the CPU fan and Thermal Camp if necessary. Also if you have any cooling related suggestions for the Coolmaster case or a better case for this job, please feel free to post. I'm really more concerned with how well the case cools than how good it looks, I picked the Cosmos because it looks quiet too.
Thanks in advance!
