Saint, check your links; they're all broken.

 

idoop, it seems to me that all you want is a cpu, mobo, psu, ram, and os; is that correct?
Could you also tell us which graphics card you currently have and want to use?

come to think about it anyone have some ideas for other psu, ram and maybe some other stuff to lower the price a bit..

Reply to idoop

Yes, the OS is the operating system.

Here's some cheaper ram
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6820231225


You don't need a 1000 Watt psu for your system;
Here's a cheaper psu that offers 3-way SLI
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139011

For a little less, you can get a psu that only offers 2-way SLI/CF
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6817139009


Here's a good cpu cooler
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6835103055


If you want 3-way SLI capability, get this mobo
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813131359

If you'll be fine with 2-way SLI/CF, get this one
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6813128375

For the case, its really up to you; if you don't care what it looks like, you could go with something like this

cpu cooler-

case-
dont know jet but doesnt matter

any comments?
enough power for 3 way...(dont know if ill use it, so maybe i should buy another mobo but i like evga :p)

and is this good ram...
and im looking for a case with good airflow and maybe some fans with it.

Reply to idoop

The psu link you posted is the same as your ram.
Otherwise, it looks good; I recommended some of the other parts on the premises that you'd prefer cheaper rather than more expensive (particularly on the mobo) though Evga is a good manufacturer. The case I posted earlier has 3 120 mm case fans + a 200 mm case fan; about as good as they come for that price.

As for the ram, you can get 50% more ram, and run it in triple channel (vs. dual) for the same price. Corsair ram is good, but G. Skill is just as good, if not better, and it doesn't have a price premium for the brand like Corsair has.
That being said, I still recommend the ram I posted earlier.
