Hi all, first time poster and first time builder. I've been sitting on this list of parts for awhile now, occasionally tweaking, but I think I'm ready to pull the trigger soon. I tried to do some research to find good components that were compatible with each other, but I'm by no means an expert, so I would prefer to have a second opinion before I commit to anything. Here's what I've got:
Processor
Intel Core i7-950
279.99
Motherboard
ASUS Sabertooth X58
204.99
GPU
EVGA GTX 560 Ti
249.99
RAM
G.SKILL 6GB 1600
69.99
Boot Drive
Intel X25-M 80GB
174.49
Data Drives
2 x SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM
64.99 each
Optical Drive
ASUS Black DVD R/W CD R/
20.99
Case
Antec Twelve Hundred V3 ATX Full Tower
159.99
Power Supply
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W
109.99
CPU Cooler
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2
29.98
All of this, with some minor peripherals, comes to about $1500
Not really sure about the choice of SSD's, I've heard a lot of different opinions on brands/sizes.
Any suggestions for this first timer?
