This is my first build I and I am trying to decide what parts are the best. I will mainly be using it for gaming(RTS plus Crysis if possible) and music. I am an absolute noob in the computer building world so please bear with me if I messed up on the specs. I would like to keep the cost under $1500. I am interested in overclocking but it is not essential.
Here are my specs so far
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz
GPU: 1GB memory or better, ATI or NVIDIA, either single card or two cards runninng in SLI/Crossfire
RAM: 4GB or more, DDR3
Mobo: Any, would like maximum memory 24GB
PSU: 700W or better
HDD: 320GB or better
Case: ?
Is a sound card necessary? What about solid sate drives?
I would really appreciate any help on selecting the specific components.
Thanks
