Hey everyone, need some feedback/comments on a system I'm planning to build in a few weeks. I do have a lot of unknowns in this build, so hopefully I can get some good feedback on this.
Want:
Mid-tower PC
High End gaming - should be able to handle this for 3 years at least (games such as BF2: BC, COD: MW2, future GTA V, etc)
Computer Life: 4+ years
Dual boot XP (32 bit) and 7 (64 bit)
No overclocking
Objectives
Should run as cool as possible
Should be as silent as possible
Soft budget of 3k CDN (it's flexible, but this is my target max, Canadian funds)
If crossfiring, motherboard should have a wider than normal space between the two PCI-E x16 slots (ie as seen in the ASUS P6TD Deluxe)
Preferences:
CPU: Intel i7
Graphics: ATi (Sapphire)
HDD: 750GB min
RAM: OCZ
PSU: Corsaier, but definitely not Antec
I was toying around with the idea of liquid cooling, but am still unsure.
This was a sample build I was thinking of, however it seems to be overbuilt in many areas.
