Hey [H]ard,

I'll be using this rig primarily for work purposes. Application development, a little web design and a lot of SQL/DB work. Little bit of photo shop etc

Case: Silverstone Raven 02

PSU: Corsair 1000HX

Mobo: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2

CPU: Core i7 920

Ram: OCZ Gold 12GB (6 x 2GB)

Video: Unknown. . .selling my 4850x2 2GB, need replacement! (Using a 24" Monitor at 1900x1200)

HSF: Prolimatech Mega Shadow

SSD (OS): Intel X25-M

HD: WD Caviar Black 1TB x2

Fan Controller: NZXT Sentry

Optical: DVD Burner

Fans: Medium Speed Yate Loon 120x20mm x6

Anyone have any suggestions? Trying to go with the most quality parts as possible, even if its costing a little bit more. Building this thing to last awhile, and no upgrades will be made quite sometime!

I probably won't be running tri SLI anytime soon. However, I may in the future and I'll eventually be water cooling this rig. So, I felt it'd be important to have a high wattage quality PSU.
 
That 1000 Watt PSU is way to overkill for your needs. It doesn't look like you'll be running Tri-SLI setup or Quadfire. A good 550-650 watt psu will be more than enough for your needs in terms of power. Besides, you wouldn't want to be running that same 1000 watt psu for 7+ years.
 
Thanks for all of the suggestions on the PSU guys.

Fry's is about 2 hours from me, and I already bought it, + the case. I'm too lazy to go back and swap it out, so I'll just keep my 1000HX =)


Hows mobo/ram etc? Should I just keep my 4850x2 2GB? Anything better worth upgrading to?
 
The Mobo/Ram is good. You didn't say in the OP that you will be gaming on the pc so.. I don't see why you need to change the GPU unless you are currently having issues with the 4850x2. The 4850x2 is still a great card. I would just stick with that.
 
Thanks for the confirmation. I'm really excited about it!

Was going to wait for the FT02.....but the RV02 is similar and available now.
 
@gwarren007 - Thanks for the RAM selection. It does look a bit better.

I'm currently running 8gb of ram in another system, so I am used to having a ton of ram. Should I save 150 bucks and stay at 6gb, instead of 12gb?
 
I would choose 6gb for now, see what the ram usage is like, and if I was using close to 4gb i'd get the second set.
 
Sure - I was actually planning on doing a work log or something. . .
 
Yup!

I have some components right now, so I'll probably start it up on Saturday.
