You don't need to spend more for these three parts.

Sorry about that guys, I did not see the sticky but I appreciate everyone's replys. Let me try this again, once again THANK YOU for your help and time I appreciate it.


Approximate Purchase Date: within 1 week

Budget Range: around $600 +/- ,basically I just need a Motherboard, CPU, Ram, Power supply

System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming primary
Parts Not Required: monitor,keyboard,mouse,case
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg or something similar
Country: (e.g.: India) we need to know where these parts are being assembled

Parts Preferences: by brand or type: I would prefer name brand

Overclocking: Maybe

SLI or Crossfire: Yes , I will SLI'ing these, I have one and will buy another.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130661
Monitor Resolution: 1280x1024 is what I use , I think..
Additional Comments: (e.g.: Need to have a window and lots of bling, I would like a quiet PC)

 

[Emelth]

Alright I would go with the links sosofm posted
add a CPU cooler for when you OC (Hyper 212+ or Hyper 212 EVO are very good ones to go with)
For PSU if you want to SLI go with a 750W Corsair, Antec, Seasonic or OCZ

rofl....

May I know the reason behind your ROFL'ing?

I was going to be the first one to reply, composed it and then someone came home so I was a little busy with that, and 20 minutes later I hit the reply button and saw the thread got 2 replies already out of which the person above your post suggested a build that is too close to mine, but why does that make YOU laugh?
