Hello. I need some help on building a new computer, yes I know I posted again but I urgently need some help.
1600x900 monitor size.
GTX 580 1.56GB
i7-2600k 3.4ghz, will probably overclock
Intel DX78TO Motherboard X79
I need to know what other parts to buy, hard drive, RAM, etc..
And also if you have any suggestions with the parts I have already posted then please tell me if there could be anything better in the same price range.
Also what power supply, etc, all the small things too. And what component is important to be able to record my gameplay with FRAPS but still get good frame rates?

Hi! Welcome to the forums.
First thing is, you have a LGA 1155 processor paired with an LGA 2011 motherboard.
COuld you list a bit more about your needs? Go ahead and fill out the form here: http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/261222-31-build-advic... gives us the info we need to help you.
Once I get a few more details, we should be able to get rocking and rolling.
