I'm about ready to come home from a deployment and have a lil bit of extra cash to play with. I plan on building my own computer and this is the first time I am attempting to do so. I plan on doing heavy gaming, some overclocking, research for some of my classes, etc. and dont want to spend over $3500 for it
Thermaltake Kandalf LCS Case
EVGA nForce 680i Motherboard
Intel Conroe E6600 2.4Ghz, 4MB cashe CPU
1 EVGA 8800GTX KO w/ ACS3 cooling GPU
2Gb OCZ DDR2 PC8500 Ram
150Gb 10,000RPM Western Digital RaptorX HDD
PCpower&Cooling Turbo-Cool 1KW-SR PSU
Plextor PX-755SA DVD/CD burner
Soundblaster X-Fi XtremeGamer PCI Soundcard
Logitech G7 mouse and G15 Keyboard
Windows Vista Ultimate
Is what I have come up with after about 2 months of research and the price is about $3200 right now. Just wanted to see if there was something I was missing, something that has lots of known problems with it, if something isn't compatable with something else, etc. Thanks in advance for any advice you can spare.
