Homebuild gaming system

If you don't need the space, the 640gb caviar black does better than the 750 and if you only need 500gb, the Samsung Spinpoint F3 is great and less expensive.

Are you waiting to see if you want to OC before buying an aftermarket HSF? Frostytech.com has good reviews when you are ready to buy.

The ram is pretty high latency or CAS. See if you can find one thats CAS 7 instead. Lower timings are more important than speed.

Are you planning an monitor upgrade? If not, I don't know if I'd worry much about waiting for a the next gen GPU. If you get a 4870 1gb or 4890 now, it will dominate at 1680x1050 for a very long time. And you won't have any need or use for Crossfire until you do get a new monitor. Because you'll have to buy some type of GPU now since the X58 doesn't have onboard graphics. If you are buying a filler card and willing to accept low graphics until you do get your main card, a 9600 GSO or 4670 would be a good card and keep the cost low.

As for the PSU, if the price is marginally different, the 850w is fine, but the 750w will do the job well too. You don't have a lot of other drives and won't need over 550w until a second GPU is added anyway.

Where are you planning on putting the extra fans? The antec 902 comes with 4 total, all blue.

Thx for the reply,

I'll look for a diffent memory with a better timing.

I'm planning to stay with my 20" widescreen for a while so no need for a higer resolution.
I think I'd place a 4870 in my case and when the games become heavier and everything isn't running properly
on high settings, the I'dd put another 4870 in.

And I change the psu from corsair 850 tot 750

The antec comes with 4 fans, that's right.
But there are two optional fan holes. One in the sidepanel and on behind the harddrives.
I think it woul look cool with a fan inside the case, that'd give a nice light-effect.

Thx mate!
it saves me good money

That looks like a solid build. By the time a 4870 can't keep up with 1680x1050, it won't be worth it to add a second one. The tech will advance enough that it would be better to replace the 4870. It would be like saying you need to add a second 3870 cuz it can't keep up at 800x600. So there's an opportunity to save a little more money and get a smaller PSU, but I would stick with the 750w. It will last for 2 more builds after this one.

The CPU should still be going strong though. It will take forever for games to max out a i7 920 to the point it won't run games at playable frame rates.

Have you looked to see what games you play and what GPU they favor? Since the mobo will do either SLI or CF, consider what will be better performance. If the games you play all are part of nVidias TWIMTBP (The Way It's Meant To Be Played) then as hunter said, maybe the GTX 260 or even better, 275 would serve you for a very long time with better results for the same price. That's what this is all about right, more performance for the price!
