As of now I'm deployed and wont be able to buy the parts and build the computer for another 6 months. However I decided to start searching and reviewing the parts I'd want. Money isn't an issue here, really I just want a computer that I wont have to upgrade for a while to come and that I can play video games on. Another issue is recording music, of which I've opted for the Intel I7 extreme for programs like ableton and other music editing/recording programs that I may find and like in the future.
Mother Board - asus p6x58D Prem - From what I've read this has the best solution to sata III/USB 3.
Processor - Intel core i7 Extreme - Like I said, if it wasnt for the music programs I'd probably just opt for an AMD. Though Im not sure how much programs like ableton use a processor, I know I've come to times where my laptop definitely has problems with it.
Video Card - Nvidia GeForce GTX 480 x2 - Im stuck between both cards, the nvidia and radeon's 5870 both seem very nice. The reviews I've seen all show the 480 as the much faster card..
Sound Card - Creative x-fi fatal1ty champ.
Case - Antec 1200/900
SSD - Really need help here. I was looking at newegg that has a set of SSD from crucial that utilize the sata III, 600$ now which in 6 months should drop. But as of now I cant really find too much for sata III.
Hard Drive - 2TB
Cooling System - Also really need help. From what I've read so far the Indigo extreme seems to be nice, but what kind of cooling system I should look for.
Power Supply - Antec Truepower Quatro,
Ram - 6-8 GB Theres so many more brands than there were when I last built a computer.. I still need to read through and see which are the best these days.. But for now, my eyes are shot so maybe later on today Ill do that.
Like I mentioned, it's been a while since I've really built a gaming computer, back when amd was right up there with intel.. But things have changed and no matter how many reviews I read there are still certain parts I'm iffy about. So any help would be awesome.
