Hey guys, I haven't really been keeping up on this stuff for the last few years, but its time for me to build a new machine. I've done a little research on my own and have come up with what looks like a great machine, but I wanted to give a list of my parts so maybe someone can review them for me and make suggestions.
CPU: Intel Core I7-930Intel Core I7-930
Cooler: Sunbeam CR-CCTF92-4 92mm Core-Contact Freezer CPU Cooler W/TX-2
1366 socket retention bracket and
Arctic Silver 5 compound
Mobo: ASUS Rampage2 Extreme LGA1366, X58
Memory: OCZ Gold 6x2GB ddr3 1600(pc3 12800)
GPU: (2X) Sapphire Radeon HD 5830 CrossFire with ATI Eyefinity
PSU: Seventeam ST-850PAF 850W ATX 12V V2.2 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC Power Supply
Case: APEX Vortex 3620 SGCC
HD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD5001AALS 500GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
DVD: ASUS Black 24X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 12X DVD+R DL 24X
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Just wondering if there are better quality parts for the same price, or if something I have listed is way overkill for the parts. I'm also wondering if the case is going to be large enough, or if I should go with a larger one?
This is probably a stupid questions, but the Asus Rampage 2 says that it supports 3way SLI, Crossfire..... That means someone could run upto 3 GPUs??? If one could, would that leave room for a Sound Card?
Anyway, I'm open to any suggestions, so let me any and all that you might have. Thanks a bunch!
Joe
