Hey everyone,
So...I'm in the market for a desktop. I've been eye-ing the Gateway FX6800-01e, but then considered building my own computer. I wouldn't necessarily call myself a gamer, but every now and then a title catches my interest, so I'm looking for something that can handle anything that may catch my fancy. Also, I'd like to use this as my main computer for the next 4 years or so; therefore, I'm looking to have something that's more towards the high end now. I haven't actually built a computer before, and would much appreciate any comments/suggestions.
My current idea for a computer would look as follows:
Case - Antec 1200
CPU - Intel i7 920
Motherboard - EVGA LGA 1366 x58
GPU - Sapphire 4870x2 (2Gb)
RAM - Corsair Dominator DDR3 1600 (3x2Gb)
HD - WD Caviar Black (1TB)
PSU - Antec Signature 850W
OS - Vista Ultimate 64
Optical - Pioneer 20x
Cooling - Cooler Master Hyper Z600
Thanks for having a look.
