Hi all,
as of recently I have become infatuated with computer building, so I decided to build one. I am not sure as to the final setup of my computer, but I would really like for it to be around $1k (not including os and monitor).
Approximate Purchase Date: e.g.: this week (the closer the better)
Budget Range: Around $1k before rebates, before shipping.
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Moderate gaming, schoolwork, internet.
Are you buying a monitor: Yes / No
Do you need to buy OS: / No
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: newegg.com , Us.NCIX.com , Compusa.com
Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States of America.
Parts Preferences: Intel CPU, EVGA gpu, asus, corsair, coolermaster...
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1920X1080

Additional Comments: Steam games, WoW, SC2, getting into metro 2033, would like to run at high settings. I would like to add a second card and maybe another monitor later on in the future. I will be overclocking slightly to 3.8 or 4 Ghz after everything is all settled in and running nice and cool.
My current thoughts on build are:
I5 3570k
Cooler Master Hyper 212+
Asus P8Z77-V (I need built in wireless)
Corsair Vengeance 8Gb (2x4GB) DDR3 1600
WD Caviar Blue 500GB 7200 RPM
Crucial M4 128GB ssd
MSI Geforce GTX 660 TI (or the EVGA alternative [I prefer EVGA from friends word, but I heard MSI is making some great cards at the moment])
Cooler Master HAF 912
OCZ Modxstream 600w PSU (I already have)
LG GH24NS90 DVD/CD Writer
Asus VH236H 23.0"
Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.
