The time is almost here to start building my dang gaming rig....(sigh)..... I don't expect anything amazing to come out in the next month so I have some questions about stuff....
Case: I really like the look and overall build of the Newegg.com - COOLER MASTER ATCS 840 RC-840-KKN1-GP Black Aluminum ATX Full Tower Computer Case - Computer Cases.... anybody have any suggestions or experience with this case?
Video Card: I've been looking at some options here.... either go with a GTX295 Newegg.com - EVGA 017-P3-1295-AR CO-OP Edition GeForce GTX 295 1792MB 896 (448 x 2)-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card - Desktop Graphics / Video Cards..... or get one GTX285 for now and SLI out in the future... any pointers here? I might have enough to SLI out with my initial build but that depends on the final cost....
MB: I have been set on the Newegg.com - EVGA E758-A1 3-Way SLI (x16/x16/x8) LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Intel Motherboards for awhile now but is there anything out there that is better... (classified is way too much money for what I am wanting to do...)
Are SSDs any cheaper now? I want to get a Raptor 300gig then a 1tb storage drive but if the SSDs are cheaper I would replace the 300gig with an SSD....
Here is my current wishlist....
Newegg.com - Once You Know, You Newegg
I am still undecided on a heat sink and some of the stuff listed above.... I think all my other options are solid but any advice would be appreciated... I'll be ordering in the next month so I want to get a good idea of where I should be standing once that day comes....
Thanks in advance to everyone
