Total price: $1965 before other costs, shiping etc. should come out around $2000. Will all of this work?

Try to get a Antec case and Antec PSU combo, save some cash. Also i would get a 7200.12 1tb of newegg, it on a "Shellshocker" sale. Also, you should wait a day untill the i7-930 luanches, since it's going to be luanched at i7-920 prices, it should lower the price of the entire intell lineup, and maybe even AMDs offerings.

 

[dominnater]

Thanks I'm not buying it right now I'm still saving the money. I will look thos up when I get the time

like he said wait for 930 but i'd make a few changes to your build

undercuts your build with bigger case and power supply a board with USB 3.0 and sata 3 and a faster hard drive

 

[dominnater]

Looks like a good setup, bigger case, cheaper price

Uh, consider this. Oh and haha, you missed the 10$ off Shelshocker sale by 1 day.

I looked at some of the reviews, seems to be having failures. I don't need a drive with failures

 

[builderbobftw]

Any drive that sells as many copies as the 7200.12 will have a few fails. It not like over .1% of the drive fail. It's just that if someone buys a drive that fails, they are many times more likely to write a newegg reiwew than someone who bought it, and it work like it was expected to.

Do u own one?

 

[builderbobftw]

No, but I own 3 7200.8s, and I've used Seagate my entire life, and so has my dad.

Ok, but im going to need to do a little more research before I decide on it

 

[builderbobftw]

Seagate 7200.12 is FTW for gaming. The spinpoint f3 is good for music and stuff lie that. My 7200.8s have been nothing but awesome.

quick update, I have decided to use the "XFX HD-587A-ZND9 Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB XXX Edition 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported" instead of the other card i had in mind
