Seeking expert review

[Wentor]

Looking for some review by you the "experts" prior to my purchase.

Lets me preface by all these purchases are going to be made at my local Microcenter. Some prices are better some are worse... some options I would have liked don't exist at Microcenter and thus why I want you all to look it over and suggest changes where need be.

I am not on a set budget, however, I do like that $2000.00 mark for a ball park.

The computer will primarly be used for gaming.

Its over kill if you are just reading your emails

 

[Wentor]

System will be used for gaming.
Looking forward towards SWTOR.

ok here we go

it's pretty awesome build but ...
spend more on cooling your system like Noctua 14 Also I've heard 6950 2Gb heat up alot so look into that as well
SSD go for m4 crucial
otherwise looks pretty neat

 

[Wentor]

Ill look into the HS/F - looks like a great tool for OC.

What are the benefits of a m4 SSD over OCZ? I've heard lots of good things about OCZ.

 

[madchemist83]

And I've heard lot's of problems. I think something has to do with cache ... and overall. I'm not really an expert on SSDs they are pretty new to me

 

[Wentor]

Very well, unfortunetly they only offer the 64gb at the local microcenter, may have to pick up two.

SWTOR beta is currently at 73gb!
