So, my main question is, can I get more bang for my buck anywhere in here? The total price, with shipping, is right at $1800. My second question is, do all of the parts come with enough screws/wires/connectors/etc? Should I be buying something else?

Oh, and what's up with monitors these days? Any brands I should be looking out for? I haven't really built/bought PC parts in about 7 years, which was before all of the HD stuff started hitting the market. Can I just buy a TV and hook it up now? I'm pretty lost about all this stuff.

Thanks for your help!

Since you are just using the build for gaming and don't need to crossfire, I would recommend something far cheaper instead - an i5 750 if you want Intel, or a X4 955 if you would like AMD.

Caviar black 750GB HDDs will be older, low density (slow) platter models. The new WD Black 1TB FAEX (not FALS) has 500GB platters as does the Seagate 7200.12 500GB/1TB and Samsung F3 500GB/1TB.


Unless you plan on adding alot more components in the future, a good 650W PSU should be plenty. A corsair 850 should handle three 5870s, which looks like more than you are planning on.

^ You'll want the other version of the 955, and possibly a newer motherboard, other than that, it's fine.

To answer your earlier question...with the rig I set up, all the necessary components (screws, wires, etc.) are included

As far as monitors go...you'll have to seek advice from another...
