My first system
Last response: in Systems
This is my first build and I don't want to go over $2000 the price of it now is 1,822.18 and 1,854.60 with shipping. I'm just wondering if this is a good build and it there would be any problems with anything like wires being short or something not fitting right or air flow problems ect. Also most of these are in bundles.

I have a Dell SP2309W it does 2048x1152, along with a 298GB internal hard drive and a 320GB external hard drive so the raptor is only for video games.
I'm plan to overclock the 920 and was wondering what this build would be able to overclock it to.
Thanks ahead of time for any help.

More about : system
Ok so my choices for the main components would probibaly be
Case
Antec 1200
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
159.99
or
Cooler Master HAF 932
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
139.99
Motherboard
Asus P6TD Deluxe
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
289.99
Or
Asus P6X58D
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] Tpk=p6x58d
299.99
For 10$ more you get usb 3.0 and Sata 6Gb/s
CPU
i7 920 D0
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=3888 [...] ture=Intel
346.39
Costs a bit extra but overclocks better
Heat Sink
Thermalright Venomous
http://ncix.com/products/?sku=4826 [...] ermalright
75.99
Video Cards
XFX 5970
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
669.99
or
XFX 5870
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
399.99
RAM
Corsair XMS3 CL 7-7-7
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
179.99
or
Mushkin Redline CL 7-6-7
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
239.99
PSU
If you go with the Antec 1200 get the CP-850 for sure
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] k=CP%20850
139.99
Otherwise
Corsair HX-850
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] k=hx%20850
179.99
Hard Drive
I still like two of these in Raid 0 they offer great performance
Samsung Spinpoint F3
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
2x54.99
Mabye a Solid state like this for a boot drive and one of those Spinpoints if you want to go that route
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] -_-Product
Total cost: Around $2000
If you shop around i'm sure you'll find better prices and NCIX matches anyone
Those are my recomendations
This is a bit of a copy and paste, with a few modifacations, from a post of mine in another thread I hope it helps
A bit of extra info
The i7 920 is older, more tried and true, and better for Crossfire SLI setups still the best choice for high performance rigs
The i7 860 is newer and performs better at stock but i would recomend a i5 750 if you want to go the socket 1156 route
The intel cpu's are definetly the way to go at this budget, although the AMD's are clocked higher they are outperformed by the intels at stock and even more when overclocked
Sorry none of the links are working but you can search the parts on newegg yourself =).
