I know, you see these a lot, but I hope you guys wouldn't mind helping me out.
I haven't built a computer in a very long time cause the one I have now has lasted me so long, but I think it's finally time to make a change. The list below is what I came up with. I never know if the motherboard and processor are compatible so please let me know if the ones I picked out will play nicely with each other. I def want to keep it under $2000, but under $1500 would be idle, so if anything there is overkill for what I will use it for, let me know. What I use it for you ask? I don't play pc games right now, but with a pc like this, I most likely would and use it as my second console. Also, running dual monitors is very important, so I don't plan on using SLI or any other dual card set up, but I also want to keep that option open for the future... maybe. Also, probably some video capturing. I'm trying to make this as "future proof" as possible.
EVGA 680i SLI Intel Motherboard
Intel Xeon E5440
Asus GeForce 8800GTS Video Card
Cosair 2 GB (2 x 1GB) Ram
Western Digital 150 GB Rapter SATA Hard Drive
When you add the case, fans and heatsink I plan on getting with this, I'm at $1945. Sorry if this stuff clearly doesn't go together. Like I said, I haven't done this in a while... So..., what do you think?
