Hi everyone. I am planning on making an i7 build within the next few weeks. I have done some research and these are the components I am currently leaning towards:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 Nehalem 2.66GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core
Motherboard: ASUS P6T LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel
GPU: Powercolor HD4770 ATI Radeon 512MB Graphics Card
RAM: OCZ Reaper HPC 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1800 (PC3 14400)
Case: AeroCool AeroEngine Plus – BK Black 0.6mm SECC steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
CD/DVD Burner: LG DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS50 - OEM
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium
and Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound - OEM
Now there a few other items I'm planning on adding on later such as a x-in one media card reader for the 3.25" slot in the front of the case, a third fan for the back of the case and a cpu cooler for some minor overclocking. I am planning to have this hooked up to two 20-24" monitors and probably upgrade to crossfire 4770s within a year(would the 850w psu be enough?). This is my first build so please let me know if anything is incompatible or I could get better quality for a similar price, I am open to changing the build. Thanks in advance for the advice.
On a side note, I am planning on getting a computer tool kit to mess around with and was thinking of getting Belkin 36-Piece Demagnatized Computer Tool Kit with Case (Black). Does anyone know if they are good quality tools and, if not, what kit I should get?
