Ok just read the sticky, incoming Copy+Paste suggestion!!
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: August 1st, Will be returning from military deployment end of July.
BUDGET RANGE: $1500-2000
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: High Performance Gaming. Primarily World of Warcraft, Warhammer Online, World at War, Crysis. Perferred to run all at Max Settings.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Mouse, Keyboard, Speakers, Surge Protector, Monitor.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: NewEgg, tried looking at Tiger Direct didn't like it.
PARTS PREFERENCES: I am going for Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU, Antec 900 series Case, OCZ HDs, Corsair/Kingston or any high quality Ram.
OVERCLOCKING: Yes, nothing too extreme, most likely taking the i7 920 to 3.5~3.8GHz.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Yes, eventually, don't need it now but want a mobo/gpu that support it.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Noise doesn't really concern me, neither do cosmetics. I mainly just want a beast machine that can give me awesome frame rates and last for a good while. Willing to pay for quality parts.
Here is the list of what i've selected thus far:
Case:
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
CPU:
Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor
Mobo:
GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD4P LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
GPU:
MSI N285GTX SuperPipe OC GeForce GTX 285 1GB 512-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Video Card
RAM:
OCZ Platinum 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory
PSU:
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ700MXSP 700W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC
Heatsink/Fan:
Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 120mm SSO CPU Cooler
Price: $1713.89 USD (this is including disc drives and hard drives)
The HD and Disc Drives imo are irrelevent since they are a dime a dozen, just know i am going to be running Win7 using a OCZ Vertex Series SSD 60GB drive.
If anyone has some suggestions i am open to them.
Thank you.
