How would you build this up?

[TheNight13]

Looking to start a build project with tons of power. I'm going with this board EVGA nForce 790i Ultra SLI Motherboard - NVIDIA nForce 790i Ultra SLI, Socket 775, ATX, Audio, PCI Express 2.0, SLI Ready, SPDIF, USB 2.0, Firewire, eSATA, RAID 132-CK-NF79-TR at TigerDirect.com I have many ideas as where im taking it from there but trying to narrow it down. Now what would you guys do from here as far as case, gpu, Processor, power supply, pretty much everything. I am going to use the SLI setup. I've never worked with it b4 so this will be something different. Yes, it is gonna be a gaming pc. And its going to be a project over time so ive got time. I think which case im going with is my biggest concern atm.


Thanks, get at me.

Whats your budget?

 

[TheNight13]

Well it's not limitless but between $1000-1500 Over all.

 

[hikaricloud]

That board is a gigantic waste, especially at that budget.

If you want a high power machine, go with an i7 build. I'll do up something for ya.

 

[Nubbleet]

Well, with that budget you probably wanna build an i7. You can't use that mobo with an i7, because i7 uses LGA 1366. Also, can you buy from Newegg?

Edit: Just beat me Hikari lol

 

[JamesMW]

Okay, for that budget you can definitely get an i7.

Try this.

If your not overclocking you can omit the cooler. This build is pretty much identical to mine and I love mine. With the TRUE 120 you can probably OC that proc to around 4GHz.

Good luck on your build

Edit: I see everyone else just beat me to saying you should get an i7

 

[Nubbleet]

+1 ^

LOL James. That's almost identical to the build I had in the Newegg cart.

 

[TheNight13]

Yeah i can do newegg np. ALot of ppl are recommending going with Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER HAF 932 RC-932-KKN1-GP Black Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases . Yeah an i7 seems like a plan. Im so open with this, so keep ideas coming. I have a few days before i start ordering the first components.

Hikari's build is nice to. SLI GTX 260's are better than a single GTX 285.

Also could go with Newegg.com - CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply - Power Supplies its 850W, it's more expensive upfront, but if you use the MIR, it takes it to $94.99 which is cheaper than the 750W.
