Hello, I currently have an Asus AMD Athlon 3700+, A8N-VM CSM Motherboard, G. Skill 3x1GB DDR 400 (Dual Channel), HIS Sapphire x1600+ pro 512 MB, Hanns-G 27.5" LCD.
I am looking to go above and beyond, by building quite an expensive computer system that will take quite some time to fix-up (mainly due to the fact that I wanted to do watercooling). I expect by the time that I am finished with this system, I will have landed about 2 grand on it.
Before I go any further, I do have some products picked out that I am interested in as of right now. I was perhaps hoping on some inputs and remarks from other users on my products of interest. They are as follows:
1.) CPU: Intel i7 940 (I have looked at multiple benchmarks of this CPU. My only question is, how much better than is the 940 than the 920 on a scale of 1-10)
2.) Motherboard: EVGA Classified 3-way SLI+ PhysX 1366 Intel X58 Intel Motherboard (I have picked this motherboard mainly because i need a good motherboard that could take heavy overclocking; also the number of pci express 2.0x16 x4 speeds interests me. The only lacking side of this board that I see right now is that ddr3 1600 is its top speed.)
3.) Graphics Card: x2 Asus HD5870s (Will increase later if needed. As for right now, two should be well more than enough to slam and deliver)
4.) RAM: "??" No idea. The EVGA Motherboard that I have picked out requires triple channel DDR3 1600 RAM. My intents are to get the quickest, most efficient, reliable, RAM that I can get, and to stuff all six slots. Prices vary on RAM, and I am quite lost on this choice.
5.) PSU: "??" I have looked into some 1,000 Watt PSUs. Alot of them seem to be less than 90% efficient. I would like something efficient and in the 350 dollar range if need be.
6.) Sound Card: "??" I'm looking with something that has a very good signal-to-noise ratio, and something that could produce top-of-the-line sound quality. I am a big car stereo fan, and am a fanatic when it comes to sound quality.
7.) Monitor: Already own it. Hanns-G 27.5" 1080p LCD Monitor.
8.) Case: Already picked out. Xclio 2000. The large display of lights and fans has grabbed my interest greatly (especially for the overclocking that I plan on doing).
9.) WATERCOOLING: Exos-2 LX
