Hey all, I finally got some cash and newegg giftcards for Xmas so I'm getting ready to do a build. My last build was an Athlon 2400+ T-Bred which crapped out on my a good 4 or so years ago and I haven't kept up with the scene too much since.
I'm looking to build a decent gaming system with which I can OC in the near future and start with one GPU card and add another Crossfired to it also in the near future. I just bought an Asus 23.6" 1080p monitor, everything else will be bought and pieced together.
Here's what I've picked out and looking for opinions on currently:
Case:
Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail 89.99
Mobo:
ASUS P7P55D PRO LGA 1156 Intel P55 ATX Intel Motherboard - Open Box 128.99
CPU:
Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor Model BX80605I5750 - Retail 194.99
PSU:
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-630SS 630W ATX12V V2.2/ EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Modular Modular LED Power Supply - Retail - 64.98
Mem:
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 - Retail 94.99
HDD:
Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - $64.99
GPU:
ATI 5770 - $150 (give or take a few bucks). Will check out brand names and reviews and take opinions!!!
I would like to know what a good HSF combo would be to throw in here to do some decent OC'ing to this, and of course any suggestions on stuff to swtich. I assume the PSU should be enough to power that and just a DVD burner as well, with the plans of adding a second 5770 to Crossfire in a couple months!!
Thanks all!!
EDIT:
Sorry, I forgot. All this comes to about $800 which when you add the $200 monitor I already bought is pretty much my limit!!
