I have decided to build another computer. I have a xg viper 2 case already. I plan on using a core i7 processor, and 3 terabytes of hard drive space. Money is not a factor in this build. What would ya'll recommend I get. I want the best motherboard, video card, ram, cooling system, etc...
What parts should I use for the most advanced build?

Hi,
Are you planning on overclocking? Also, what OS and version are you going to install on it?

Yes I plan to overclock. Windows 7 x64 is what I plan to run. I already have the operating system and all the software i will need. Now i just need to figure out the best components. I'm thinking core i7, tri channel memory motherboard, about 12gigs of ram, I have no idea which ones are the best or what video card to use. I plan to watch blu ray and hi def stuff on here

Here is what I would recommend. I always use newegg(i just find it easier to navigate), but I am sure you can find these on tiger direct.
CPU Cooler - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16835118046
Monitor - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16824005126
Way better contrast ratio and response rate then the one you have posted, also not refurbished
HDD - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16822136284
Might be more expensive, but has a bigger cache, therefore faster and moe effiecent drive
RAM - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16820145235
I have always preferred Corsaid over OCZ any day.
Optical Drive - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16827136137
Sound Card - http://www.newegg.co...N82E16829102024
I know your mobo has onboard sound, but this thing will give you amazing sound quality!

Will that monitor support 1920 x 1200 resolution?

According to the specs, it will support 1920 x 1080. Is that the resolution you need supported?
#11
Posted 16 May 2009 - 04:54 PM
I was hoping for that resolution. Maybe even 2560x1600 but dont want to spend that much money.

What would your opinion be on a solid state drive?

Well if you multi task alot with hard drive intensive applications such as playing games, an SSD would help make a noticable speed difference. The cost ratio per GB is way overpriced though.

I don't play games. I guess i will just wait for the price to go down
Are there any other computer accessories you would recommend. I already have the xg viper 2 case.
I was convinced into getting this motherboard instead.
