CASE: NZXT Vulcan
MOBO: ASUS M4A785TD-M EVO
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition
VIDEO CARD: ASUS EAH5870/2DIS/1GD5/V2 Radeon HD 5870
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series (2x2GB) DDR3 1600
PSU: XFX Black Edition 850W
FANS: NZXT 120mm Case Fan (x1)
NZXT 200mm Case Fan (x1)
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler
TOTAL PRICE: $978.80 with $40 in Rebate potential
NOTES: I have the RAM and PSU in a combo deal saving $35. I know that the PSU is a lot larger than I need but smaller supplies didn't have combos that I found useful so I thought I might as well throw in an extra $15 (thanks to the combo) for +200W.
I also have the CPU and the CPU fan in a combo saving $15.
I have an optical drive and two hard drives that I will be recycling (along with Win7x64)
I will use the machine primarily for gaming. I want the ability to perform some moderate OCing in the future.
The choice of the CPU fan was somewhat limited by the case/200mm fan. With the 200mm fan in place, there is a maximum height restriction of about 140mm. There is also the lack of length/width space due to the size of the mATX board/case.
I was going to buy a couple of parts, such as the case/case fans, off of Amazon because they will give me free shipping and Newegg won't.
I've spent a lot of time researching this and I think that this is the build I want. Lemme know what you think!
