Newegg Part List

If you can shop at Microcenter, you can get the i5-2500k [it's really all you need unless you require hyper-threading] for like $180.
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354589
If you really want the i7-2600k for $280 then here's the link: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0354587

The Samsung Spinpoint F3 has better platter density than the Western Digital you chose which means better performance. It also costs $60 which is a lot less.

OCZ chose a bad OEM for the ModxStream Pro so I wouldn't go for them.

[Why_Me]

With dual monitors you want a card with plenty of vRAM like this 6950 2GB down below. Add a 2600K or 2500K from Microcenter to this. It's set up to add another one of those cards later on.

Thank you, I appreciate your advice on the 2gb card.

 

[jackspeed]

um I'm not sure but isn't nvidia the "leader" or the better cards for 3d applications if that is the case than the gtx 570 is what you are looking for http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130613 320

EDIT: by osx do you mean you are wanting to build a hacintosh??

EDIT: by osx do you mean you are wanting to build a hacintosh??

Yes a hackintosh, but the gtx 570 is a bit out of my budget. Plus the 3d program i am using only uses the graphics card for moving through out the view finder, and rendering uses the cpu only.

total 968 and you could shave off a few bucks by comboing. I didn't look at what parts are/are not compatable with mac osx 10. and leaves rooms for a small ssd to put you to 1100 if you wanted to be on the upper end. Micro center would be cheaper for the i7 in store.
