I'm looking to build a new system. I have an ATI Radeon HD 5870 card I'm obv keeping and a SB Audigy Titanium Sound card. Got 2 hard drives (SATA) that I want to keep as well. I am using the Corsair H50 and would like to keep that. Stuff like the case/psu/bluray I am keeping as well. My PSU is 700w.
So basically what I am looking for is:
1. Processor
2. Mobo
3. Ram
4. SSD for primary drive
I want an Intel i7 although I really don't know much about the latest AMD stuff. I just saw the i7 930 at Fry's for $259 which seemed like an amazing deal ... I just wouldn't know what mobo would be right to go with it for that + my cooler + which ram to go with it. My knowledge of SSD drives is pretty limited as well.
My primary activities include gaming, online poker, and general work stuff (office, etc). I'll have Windows 7 64-bit as the OS. My budget is $800-$1k.
