Here's an overview on a system I would put together :
Asus P6T DDR3 Socket I7
Intel core I7 920
Corsair TR3XG1600C7 1600 MHz DDR3 XMS3
Asus EAH4890/hdti/1GD5
Corsair HX620 PSU
WD6400AACS 640Gb 16MB
Coolermaster Centurion 590 Midi Tower
Samsung SH-S223B DVD writer
- I'm not sure about the graphics card and mainboard as there are a lot of different suppliers : Asus, Sapphire, MSI, XFX, ... There's also a TOP model from Asus and a 2GB version, ... difference with a GTX275 with less memory?
- Is there additional cooling necessary?
Any feedback on this build would be welcome.
