$1100-1150~ Sandy Bridge Build

[audioknight]

Now, this is a bit of a stretch. Needed some support in regards of constructing a system from scratch.

Approximate Purchase Date: 1-3 Weeks

Budget Range: $1200 Highest (Include S&H, California Taxes, + Misc)

System Usage: Gaming + Programming

Parts required: Monitor, Keyboard + Mouse, Speakers

Preferred Website(s) for Parts: No preference, though Amazon helps, avoiding Newegg like the plague because of CA tax

Country of Origin: United States

Parts Preferences: Intel Sandy Bridge, Nvidia preferred for Cuda processing (Though feel free to prove me wrong, i've hated ATI drivers for the last few months)

Overclocking: Possibly some minor overclocking, no need for aftermarket just yet, though aftermarket CPU cooler would be preferred.

SLI or Crossfire: SLI (Upgradeability for later builds)

Additional Comments:
As mentioned, i've been looking around for some input for a full build from scratch. I'm hoping to achieve an entire price capped at $1200~ for all associated parts. I've been behind the scene for the last year or so, but would like some input on a good build currently.

Uhhh have you looked at the news lately sir? No more Sandy Bridges until 2 months. If you can wait (as you are purchasing this 1-3weeks from now) wait even longer like 2 months. Don't suggest buying anything now. Though if you can't wait, I have a 1000$ in my siggy that works just fine.

Nice... that's a pretty smart way of reusing build suggestions.

Haha, I've been doing the homebuilt section for a little less than a year, and I felt I was burdened by just continually typing paragraphs to explain what my thought on things were like WD blacks or motherboards and whatnot. I just decided to use this website. Plus I need money for my future 2500k build so this'll help support me in my future endeavors.

You wont get one till April, trust me. So just hold on for release of new B3 chipsets.

Thanks for all the input, didn't actually see the news until now. I'll consider holding out or giving AMD a try at this point.
