It all began when i realized i had just over 300gb left on my hd. I looked up ebay and somehow came across an article on 3tb hd. One thing led to another (i still don't have a new hd) and i found myself looking for pc cases.
I won't be comitting to anything for a few months atleast but i thought it would be a good idea to create a thread and hopefully get some help from you guys. As i've learnt, research is 90 per of the work.
So, what do i want? The best. Basically money isn't an issue but i'm not rich, i earn an avarage wage but i live with my parents so i'm easy that way.
I own a Samsumng P2270HD tv/monitor and i'm happy with that. As mentioned in my other thread, i'll probably be going for the Bose Companion 3 2.1 speakers.
For the case I'm set on the Corsair 650D (Obsidian Series® 650D Mid-Tower Case - Obsidian Series - Cases)
I love the look and i don't want to go any taller the taller cases i've seen won't fit under my table.
I'm also set on the second gen i7 extreme edition (Intel® Core™ i7 Extreme Processor)
I've been looking at the Asus Rampage 3 Extreme but the problem i have with it is the one usb port. I know i can get an internal usb expansion from amazon (Amazon.com: NZXT IU01 Internal USB Expansion (Black): Electronics) so that's an option.
I've looked at the ASRock 990 FXProfessional and i like that it has 2 3.0 usb ports for the back panel and another 2 3.0 for the front. But is it compatible with the i7?
What is one of the best mobo's i can get? Am i off to a good start here?
