This is a repost, but my earlier post had some ill-conceived parts. This time, I would really appreciate any help in putting together a whole rig. I am leaning towards the following parts: Sandybridge 2600k, Corsair Obsidian 800D case, 2 X GTX 580 (SLI'd)
Approximate Purchase Date: Mid-June
Budget Range: $4000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, photo processing, coding
Parts Not Required: Completely new system, input is welcome on everything.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Whatever's cheapest
Country of Origin: US
Parts Preferences: Only preference is high quality stuff!
Overclocking: Open to the possibility (noise is a -)
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Monitor Resolution: 2560 X 1600
Additional Comments: While performance is the first criteria, quiet would be awesome too (and I know there's tension between the two), tips on keeping the noise down would be helpful.
