This post is from my thread in the prebuilt forum, but since i am now changing to building it myself I wanted to get as much feedback from the expertise on here. I thank tsnor and vitornob for their input in that thread.
I researched this forum alot of today and came up with a shopping list for a system I plan to self build. Thoughts?
1. NZXT GAMMA Classic Series GAMA-001BK Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
http://www.google.com/search?q=+NZ [...] =shop&aq=f
$33.00
2. Corsair Air Series A50 Performance CPU Cooler CAFA50
http://www.google.com/search?q=+NZ [...] 20&bih=674
$24.99
3. Core i3-2100
http://www.google.com/search?q=Ath [...] 20&bih=674
$105
4. Sapphire HD5570 PCIe 1GB DDR3 100293DP
http://www.google.com/search?q=Ath [...] 20&bih=674
$60.00
5. Corsair DDR3-1600 CAS 8, model TR3X6G1600C8
http://www.google.com/search?q=Ath [...] 20&bih=674
$64.99
6. DZ68DB Desktop
http://www.google.com/search?q=Ath [...] 20&bih=674
$98
7. Cooler Master Silent Pro M500
http://www.google.com/search?q=Ath [...] 20&bih=674
$87
Approximately cost after cursory searches = $480
I figure if I buy from ebay I can do even better price wise. I plan to buy new to get full maufacturer warranties. What do you think of this shopping list? Are these sound compoenets that will work together and drive 3 monitors very well while providing me with the ability to surf the web quickly?
* I also would like a small 40 - 60 gig ssd drive for a dual or triple boot os. * xp/7/ ubuntu and possibly snow leopard (that would be quad boot i know)
