I've got a hard limit budget of around 3K to spend on a new gaming rig. no need for speakers, monitors, keyboard or mouse so its just the tower we're talking. my current spec for the new PC is as follows.
games will be played @ 1920x1200 (24" LCD)
cpu: Intel Core i7 940 2.93GHz LGA 1366 Quad-Core Processor
mobo: ASUS P6T Deluxe LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: OCZ Platinum 3GB (3 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666)
vid: 2x EVGA 01G-P3-1280-AR GeForce GTX 280 1GB 512-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 (SLI)
psu: Antec TPQ-850 850W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI
hdd1: Western Digital VelociRaptor WD3000GLFS 300GB 10000 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
hdd2: 1x Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 ST31000340AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive
dvd-r: LG 22X DVD±R DVD Burner Black SATA Model GH22NS30 (no need for bluray)
case: Antec P182 Gun Metal Black 0.8mm cold rolled steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
this setup puts me ~350 below my max allowance. please give any feed back on anything i should change, and/or recommendations. probably wont be buying for a few weeks or so but want to start finalizing the build now.
Thanks!
