Building gamer for ~ $1,000 requesting look over of components
Last response: in Systems
Approximate Purchase Date: Before June 26
Budget Range: ~$1,000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming & web surfing mostly.
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, OS, hard drives, dvd drives
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com,
Country of Origin: U.S.
Parts Preferences: by brand or type: I generally stick with amd, asus, evga and corsair products. I also will use gygabyte, intel and other products. I am flexible.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe later
I am looking to build something that can be upgraded later. I mainly have concerns about compatibility, alternate products that could be better. I am really concerned if some of these components will fit together. For example I can foresee problems with CPU coolers blocking the ram ports and that sort of thing...
Any opinions, insight or whatever are most welcome. Thanks

^ The newer AMD 990FX chipsets are out,... those would be better,...

But the main point that I would like to make is that for your budget, I would suggest Intel instead of AMD, not that I am biased towards Intel but that it gives better performance than the current AMD CPUs,... Check out the Intel i5 2500K CPUs,...

For that budget go i5 2500k. AMD loses it's ground for builds over ~$700.
Take a look at the $1000 build in my sig.
http://gamingrig.blogspot.com/2011/06/1000-gaming-pc-ju...
It has a 2500k and a HD6950 2GB and also includes the OS, making the build $900 effectively. Use your chosen case instead of the recommended HAF912 and you'll hit $1000.
