Hey Guys,
Thanks a lot for your feedback on my previous post. Based on your advice, I have thrown out the GTX 285 for two GTX 275s, and I have also dropped the expensive ABS PSU for the Corsair 850W. For the ram, I am switching from the Corsair Dominator to the G.SKILL 1333 that has really excellent timings. The total cost has decreased from ~$1400 to $1275, even after adding the second GTX 275! What do you think of the updated build below?
NEW COMPONENTS - UPDATED
Core i7 2.66GHz w/XIGMATEK Dark Knight 120mm cooler (I plan to OC) link
ASUS P6T Deluxe v2
2x EVGA GTX 275 link
3x 2GB G.SKILL DDR3 1333 @ 7-7-7-18 link
Corsair 850W PSU link
EXISTING COMPONENTS
2x Seagate 250GB 7800RPM Sata HDs, raid 0+1 (for OS and games)
1x Seagate 1.5TB 7800RPM Sata HD (media)
Creative X-Fi Fatality w/front panel
Thermaltake Armor full-tower case
1x DVD burner IDE
1x DVD reader IDE
27.5" HansG 1920x1200 monitor
