I started a thread a few weeks back based on an i7 build I thought I was going for. I am going to end up waiting to purchase after Black Friday it looks like as I realized that I'm really in no rush and the idea of potentially catching some deals is too good to pass up. Here was my original thread: Thoughts On This i7 Build
-------
Approximate Purchase Date: After Black Friday / first week of December.
Budget Range: $1000-1300, not including combo deals or rebates. I'd be willing to go over budget a bit if the part(s) is really that necessary - any and all comments/suggestions/critiques welcomed, please.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (World of Warcraft: Cataclysm, TF2, Starcraft II, Brink), web browsing, media (videos, music, and movies).
Parts Not Required: Monitor, OS, keyboard, and mouse.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com ONLY (won't be able to make it a Micro Center, for example).
Country of Origin: United States
Parts Preferences: Intel, other than that, no preference.
Overclocking: No (none at all, ever).
SLI or Crossfire: No.
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Here's what my cart at Newegg looks like as of this morning:
Processor: i5-760
Motherboard: ASUS P7P55D-E LX LGA 1156
RAM: G.SKILL ECO Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Graphics Card: GIGABYTE Super Overclock Series GeForce GTX 470
Hard Drive: Spinpoint F3
Case: Antec P183
Power Supply: Corsair 650TX-650W
--------
$1018.93
So just over a grand, not too bad I don't think. The only other part that I'd consider adding is a SSD and only if I can catch one on sale around Black Friday. Other than that, looking for any and all comments or suggestions. Thanks again for all the help, this forum has been great.
