Purchase Date: Hopefully within the next few days.
Budget Range: $700-$900
System Usage: Gaming would be the primary use. Other than that, just watching movies and surfing around.
Parts Not Required: Monitor, keyboard, speakers. Might have a spare mouse around, but not sure.
Preferred Website: Whichever has the best prices.
Country: USA
Parts Preference: None
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Possibly for the future, but at the moment I don't believe it would be necessary.
Additional Comments: I put up a thread on this site way back in December, but I put off on the purchases, and figured I'd just start a new thread.
I looked and I saw this link in another thread: http://www.squidoo.com/electronicandmore. I was looking at the $900 build and it seemed okay but I got confused by the video cards since doing searches on them through Newegg (using terms like 560, 6950, twin frozr) pulled up multiple results that all seemed to match the criteria of the build.
Another thing I'd like to ask is where could I look to cut the cost of the build if I needed to. Having to add in an OS is going to bump the price a bit anyways.
Finally, looking at these combos http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...bCategory=343&SortField=0&PageSize=100&Page=1, are any worth considering?
