HELLO!! New to building a gaming pc. Looking forward to it.
I have an hd monitor, harddrive, mouse, keyboard.
Here is what I plan to buy:
CASE-Cooler Master HAF 932 High Air Flow ATX Full Tower Case Black - (RC-932-KKN1-GP)
CPU-Intel Core i7 950 Processor BX80601950 - 3.06GHz, 8MB L3 Cache, 4.8GT/s QPI, HyperThreading, Quad Core, Bloomfield, LGA 1366, Retail, Fan
MOTHERBOARD- ASUS Sabertooth X58 Motherboard
VIDEO CARD-Hmm. Not sure. I may wait to see the new 6900 series in a couple of weeks. I'm looking to spend $350 or less. I may go with 5870. Any recommendations would be helpful.
HARDDRIVE- I HAVE A SEAGATE 640GB ALREADY
POWER SUPPLY-Corsair Professional Series Gold High Performance 850-Watt Power Supply CMPSU-850AX
RAM-Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D Dominator 6 GB 3 x 2 GB PC3-12800 1600MHz 240-Pin DDR3 Core i7 Memory Kit
Right now the price is $910 without a video card. I would like to keep it under $1500. Please make suggestions/improvements. Tell me if a certain item i'm buying is overkill. Are the parts all compatible. I'm interested in alot of GAMING, internet, corel painter, basic usage. ANY HELP WILL BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!
