Building a new system for gaming, rendering and recording.

[ThermalSloth]

Hello all,

After "lurking" here for a while, I decided it was time to post this thread.

I am going to build a new system for myself,
and I want to be able to play virtually any game at max settings with it,
while still having ~60fps (preferably more) when recording (with FRAPS).
Since I also do some 3D modeling in Autodesk's 3ds max,
I think it would be a good thing to have a fair amount of RAM available.

At the moment, these are the components I have selected:

2x Seagate Constellation ST9500530NS, 500GB SATA-300, 32MB, 7200rpm
2x Scythe Quiet Drive 2.5 inch - Internal HDD Silencer
(I am putting the seagate 2,5" drives in the HDD silencer (2,5" => 3,5") and I am putting them in raid0.)

Antec Performance One P193
Noctua NH-D14
Intel Core i7 2600K (overclocking to 4,4Ghz? 4,5GHz?)
Intel X25-M SSDSA2MH120G2K5 120GB
2x GeIL Black Dragon GB38GB1600C9DC (16gb RAM total, 4x 4gb)
2x EVGA GeForce GTX 580
Intel Desktop Board DP67BG

Now, I still need a power supply (unless I can use my current Corsair TX850W),
and I am not sure if I can fit it all together in the case and on the motherboard.

I would really appreciate any help I can get here.

Edit;
Oh, and my budget is around €2.500,--

In terms of fit, the P193 should be sufficient. The Performance One series doesn't skimp on interior space and other amenities.

I would opt for an ASUS motherboard.

Do you intend to wait for the Sandy Bridge issue to be ironed out?

Hello exr09, thanks for replying.

I've heard that the P193 is a very good case,
so that's why I've chosen it.

I do intend for the Sandy Bridge issues to be ironed out, yes.
I am thinking about buying all the parts for the system in ~3 or 4 months.
