Ok, now that I have FINALLY recieved my refund checks, its time to rebump this thread..
Thanks for the advice earlier Jorrel, it really gave me some good insights since I've never built one before.
Heres what I'm looking at now. (CPed from Microcenter)
Processor: Intel Corporation Core i7-930 Processor Boxed
Motherboard: Intel Corporation DX58SO LGA 1366 X58 ATX Motherboard
HD: Western Digital-OEM WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
Ram: OCZ Technology 6GB DDR3-1600 (PC3-12800) Obsidian Triple Channel Memory Kit (Three 2GB Memory Modules)
Case: Cooler Master HAF932 High Air Flow Full Tower
Power Supply: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
Uncertain - Video Card: Still not sure. Haven't done much research recently. I'm really only planning on sticking with 1 video card right now for my budget but adding a 2nd one down the line is a possibility.
Cooling: Do I need to purchase anything additional for this as far as fans go?
Other: I'm sure i'll get a misc DVD-RW drive, is there anything else I need? I want to spend under 1500$ or so, and before the video card, i'm looking at about 1000$. I want to spend the majority of the final 500$ on an epic Video card.
