Which core i7 are you getting? as that will decide whether the motherboard is compatible.
Look at the 7870 or 7950 graphics cards from AMD
What do you mean by "bare drive"? are you getting 2 drives, the samsung F3 and this "bare drive" or is the F3 described as this?
I'd get a decent 650W or 750W PSU with at least 2x 6+2 pin PCIe connectors to run the GPUs you're looking at in this price range. XFX, OCZ, Corsair, Seasonic are all good brands.

It's all compatible, assuming your i7 is 1156, but if you're worried about going over $3000, you're paying way too much. You can get much better parts for your money.

Did you intentionally get an external DVD-RW? That's the only version of the plextor px-880u I can find.

Post in the system builders forum (fill out the template), and let the folks here build you a much better system.

i was looking at the intel core i7 extreme processor [142k].
and i would like a internal dvd drive. if you could give me a link of a good one you would buy.
and if you could find cheaper but better parts that would improve the pc i would love to know what they are could you also give me the links for them

sorry i am new to this :3
thanks

sorry its intel core i7 3930k cpu

sorry its intel core i7 3930k cpu

Ok, there's an incompatibility. That's an LGA 2011 processor and a LGA 1366 motherboard. you'll need an LGA 2011 board for that processor.

specify your usage , for more accurate build we and quilciri can provide you many build options in this way

:lol: but then it will become a build question

 

[blazer99]

ok thanks i will start a build question

 

[blazer99]

so i will use the i7 1156

sorry for your time but
could you give me a list of items that will be alot cheaper but give the same performance

Thanks yet again
ps if you could can you try t make it around the $1000 mark i wouldn't mind $800 more but i would like it cheaper

 

[quilciri]

Is your total budget $1000 or $3000?

If it's $1000, I'd suggest an LGA 1155 build. It's the newer socket that supports sandy and ivy bridge processors. I know it's confusing, but 1156 is the old chipset.

...and as long as we're headed toward actual builds, you should fill this out and post it in the "new build" forum. Use the form in the "*How To Ask For New Build Advice*" post. You'll get lots of responses if you fill it out fully.

lga 1155 is socket for intel 2nd and 3rd gen cpu, h61, h67, p67, z68, h77, z75, z77 are consumer chipsets for this socket which differ by some properties
http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGA_1155


lga 1156 is socket for intel 1st gen i core cpu, h55, h57, p55 chipset

lga 1366 is socket for intel 1st gen i core extreme cpu, x58 chipset

lga 2011 is socket for intel 2nd gen i core extreme cpu, x79 chipset
