I recently purchased an i7 rig for myself and now my brother would like me to put together something for him in the $1200-$1400 range. I have a pretty good idea from building my i7 rig and browsing the forum and I've pulled what seems to be some of the better options that other people have used. Just looking for any input on if there may be some better bang-for-the-buck options that I'm missing:
Haven't really looked into CPU coolers yet but I guess I probably have $100 or so to throw around after I choose one, so I might go with a 2nd set of the Ripjaws for 8 Gigs of RAM total.
Thoughts appreciated! He'd like to pull the trigger on this sometime this coming week.
