You said you wouldn't be overclocking, just go with a cheaper X58 board, it will be fine for you and you'll save some money. This MSI supports CF and SLi as well.So I'm deciding to go on a build my own path, that way I can get EXACTLY what I would like. although ibuypower.com has a nice array of items to choose from. actually most of the things I am getting are available on the site. EXCEPT for the corsair type RAM i want to get for my rigg. I think thats whats actually stopping me from buying from them and just buying the parts and building it on my own.
This is what I will be getting-

Do I need anything else??? missing something?? thermal paste perhaps?
Also, what do you think about the compatibility with everything in retrospect to eachother. I want a reliable computer. I wont be overclocking.
the hitachi Hard drive>?? or should I go WD??? every opinion welcome
The performance difference between the 2GB 285 and the 1GB is negligible, don't bother spending anything extra on it, you could get an HD 4870 X2 for that price.
GTX 285 1GB
And like I said previously, you do not need DDR3 1600, i7 just doesn't need the bandwidth and you'd be spending more money for no reason. Go with a 3x2GB DDR3 1333 kit.
You'll also want a SATA disk drive, much smaller and neater cables than IDE. Here.
And if you're going to spend that much on a PSU, make it modular.
EDIT: Sucks that all 24" are 1920x1080 now.
