I posted earlier and got some help. As I was reading reviews on Newegg for some of the suggestion I took on this site I began to worry that some of these parts suggested may not work with what I want, or may taking too big of a risk for a cheaper product.

Here are the specs. This is my first ever build.

Reason for my build: I'm getting into Youtube. I play games, record, and commentate. I need a machine that can render really good. I'm also making my own video game (it's 2d) and the firepower will help me in the process of making it.

Reason I'm posting on here again: I'm not completely satisfied with this yet. In one complaint about the motherboard, I read that someone said it's misleading because it doesn't support SLI. I need in my system for both GPUs to work together. Also the Hard drive has some awful reviews on it as well which scares me.

I need some reassurance on this and some advice please!

Get the Noctua NH- D14. Get a Samsung or Crucial SSD. Get a WD drive. The Extreme4 does support SLI. Somebody probably forgot the SLI bridge or something. -_-

+1 to obsama

WD Caviar Black series are pretty fast and reliable...H100 is a nice looking cooler and performs well. However, the NH-D14 will perform significantly better for the price (one of my favorite Air Coolers ).

Also, the Samsung 830 series SSD gets my vote.

On a side note..any particular reason you went with the HAF 932? I personally dislike the looks of the case and would prefer something else. If you're looking for silence and elegance, the Corsair Obsidian 550D gets my vote. If you're looking for good looks and airflow, the Corsair Carbide 500R gets my vote

I would drop that Asrock MB for a..
ASUS P8Z77-V LGA
or
Gigabyte UD5H

The H100 is a great cooler the Noctua is good too

 

[obsama1]

The Bitfenix Colossus is, IMHO, the best looking case ever, but it seems that no one carries it. The Phantom looks good too. But yes, go with the cases mocchan said.

 

[obsama1]

Those mobo's cost more, and the ASrock Extreme 4 is the best mobo in its price range.

 

[mocchan]

Redeemer's recommendation of Mobo is actually very good considering that particular model is a decent overclocker...On newegg it has a $20 gift card promotion at the moment too

 

[obsama1]

Asrock Extreme 4 is a decent OC'er too with its 8+4 phases.

 

[mocchan]

Yes definitely as much of an ASUS fan I am at the moment, it's hard to refuse the ASRock Extreme 4. It's probably the only board I recommend at that price point (I think you've noticed from the other threads you've been in with me )

 

[obsama1]

LOL, yup.

 

[mocchan]

On a side note...I was looking at the P8Z77-V LK earlier..so scratch out the $20 gift card :lol:
