OK, this is my first build, just like alot of us on this forum. My budget is around $2200 US. I want it for high end gaming, here's what I got so far...
CASE
Thermaltake Armor Series VA8000BWS Black Aluminum $149.99
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16811133154
Looking for something without lights, but not too plain, and able to hold 2 GTX's eventually.
PSU
Fortron Source FX Series FX760-E ATX | EPS Quad 12V 760W $189.99
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16817104026
Is this enough for dual GTX's in the future?
CPU
Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz $316.00
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16819115003
CPU FAN
Thermaltake CL-P0310 120mm $55.99
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16835106080
MOTHERBOARD
ASUS P5N32-SLI Premium/WiFi-AP LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 590 SLI $215.99
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16813131071
Not sure about this one, I need WiFI either way if I get another board
VIDEO CARD
eVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800GTX $579.99
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16814130072
MEMORY
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 $236.00
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16820145590
Compatable?
HARD DRIVE
Western Digital Caviar SE WD2500JS 250GB $69.99
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16822144417
SOUND CARD
Creative Sound Blaster SB0570 Audigy SE 7.1 $27.99
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16829102002
I don't really care about sound, I just need a card to take the weight off my CPU for better performance.
FLOPPY
MITSUMI Black 1.44MB 3.5" Internal Floppy Drive $6.99
http://www.newegg.com/product/product.asp?item=N82E16821104101
OPTICAL DRIVE
No clue, I don't burn often, but I wan't the option to.
MONITOR
I need some help on this one, I prefer CRT, with a high resolution, but won't spend over $250.
Also, I' not buying until April. I'm not sure if I'll snag one of the newer cards then, or just be happy with the GTX at a lower price. Thanks in advance folks.
Total $1848.92
Without a monitor, optical drive, and shipping.
