Hi everyone, thanks in advance for your help!
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: 7 days or less
BUDGET RANGE: 1100 after rebates
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: gaming, movies, internet, etc
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: NCIX
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Canada
PARTS PREFERENCES: shown below -> not dead-set on anything if there is a good reason to change
OVERCLOCKING: maybe, need to save money for a cooler SLI OR CROSSFIRE: maybe, farther down the road ex. in a years time
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1650 X 1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Quiet is nice (case in point -> 640gb drive over 1TB WD Caviar)
Basically just asking if all this stuff will work when i put it together! Or if there are better options available. Power supply I know is overkill, but I would like to use it in future builds as well. And I like having a bit extra for more drives, video cards etc.
The list:
- Coolermaster cm 690 Mid Tower Black ATX Case 5X5.25 5X3.5INT No PS Front USB Sound Firewire & eSATA
- Intel Core i5 750 Quad Core Processor Lynnfield LGA1156 2.66GHZ 8MB Cache Retail Box

Edit: one more thing, because I can't find a very good student price for win7 in canada as of yet (truth be told I haven't looked terribly hard) I was going to install XP on this machine until I could reformat with win7. Anyone see a problem with that using these parts? and/or have info about win7 student pricing in Canada that I do not? Thanks again!
