I know you must see more of threads than you'd even want, but I seem to be in a rut here. I plan to build a 'medium' to high end gaming PC. I'll list some of my ideas.
CPU
I plan to over clock either of these CPU's
-- Q9550 -- 325$
-- E8600 -- 270$
Motherboard
EVGA 790i -- 290$
Memory
4 GB DDR3 2000 -- 375$
Video Cards
2x SLI'ed GTX 280 XFX XXX -- 940$
Open to other opinions here -- Other 280's or similarly powerful cards.
Power Supply
Open to opinions here -- Looking at one below
Thermaltake 1200W -- 390$
Hard Drive
300 GB 10k RPM 3.0 Gb/s -- 280$
I will go with the Antec 1200 for a case, use liquid cooling for the CPU (780e) and use misc. hardware and optical drives.
What do you guys think -- See any bottle necks or overkills?
Thanks a lot for any help you can offer
