Well, the parts have been ordered. First I want to say, I know alot of you are Intel fans, but I have always had better luck with AMD. Just personal preference, and nothing negative towards intel. Now that is out of the way, and maybe keep some flames down, the specs:
Video Card:
EVGA 01G-P3-1460-KR GeForce DVD drive:
SAMSUNG CD/DVD Burner (this will probably be switched out later on for a Blue-ray burner once I feel I can make use of one)
Power Supply:
CORSAIR Professional Series HX850 (on this I had to sacrifice some. other parts put me close to budget. I was looking at a gold certified one, but this silver and some different ram saved me just enough.)
Processor:
AMD FX-6100 Zambezi 3.3GHz (figured for what I am going to do, this would be more than powerful enough. Just couldn't see spending another $70+ for eight core)
Motherboard:
ASUS Sabertooth 990FX (think I went a bit much on this. But #1 it is asus and #2 it just looks mean, along with having some SATA II ports on the board. Found out that Gigabyte one didn't.)
RAM:
CORSAIR XMS 8GB (here is where i hope I didn't make a mistake. Even if I did, it is $28 after rebate. Big whoop)
SSD:
Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe (this here is where I splurged also. I spent hours upon hours comparing different SSDs, their read/write speeds and everything. This was one of the fastest I found.)
CPU Fan:
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus (I went ahead and got the cool master fan that you all recommended. I am leaving my options open though on that other, depending on how hot my room runs this summer.)
HDD:
Western Digital Caviar Blue (jury still out on this one. HDDs are just so damned expensive!)
Well there it is, along with the case I posted earlier, it is hovering around the $1,200 mark, will be more when I replace the fans. Also got a g19 keyboard on the way I found on ebay for $124 and free shipping. $50 cheaper than newegg or TD had it.
Also I will be replacing all fans on that case, as well as thinking of doing some small lighting. Just two small lights behind the windows.
Let me know what you guys think!
