Ok having put some thought into it i decided to give this a shot. So throughing out my first rule of going pre-build and keeping it reasonable like not going 2 8800 gtx's cuz thats abit of overkill. Lets see now what we can do. Also i dont want to have a HD Raid i'd rather have a gaming drive and a seperate storage drive: like a raptor 10k rpm and 500gig 7200 rpm for storage. Now having more of a budget im wondering if i should go with a x6800 or quad core? i know the quad core is two e6700's in one with essensially is way better than the x6800 but it it a safe route being a newer concept and not being out that long? Also how easy it is to setup watercooling and should i just go with fans if i dont feel like risking it? Last but not lease I heard coolermaster is a good case to go with any other tips, please feel free to drop in your own set ups.
I'd perfer CPU- Intell
HD One fast for gaming and one for storage
Video- only 1 gtx 8800
Mobo- a really good one resonable price to fit the cpu i get
Cooling- water if its safe and wise, or a great fan set up so i can leanr to OC
Monitor- Don't know if widescreen is good for gaming in this day and age but i'd perfer a flat panel lcd with less than 5 ms and close to a 1000-1 contrast ratio(maybe two if a good price)
and a good pair of opitcal drives
Thx for trying to convince me to get hte most out of this experiance, i hope i can successfully say one day soon, "I build my computer" .
