Hello,
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...

I have calculated it out and my budget is 2500 dollars. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hi,

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

[aquevedo831]

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

Are these the same build?

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?

[MoNsTeReNeRgY22]

According to the specs, it will support 1920 x 1080. Is that the resolution you need supported?

[aquevedo831]

I was hoping for that resolution. Maybe even 2560x1600 but dont want to spend that much money.

[MoNsTeReNeRgY22]

Well this one looks like it would work.

[aquevedo831]

What would your opinion be on a solid state drive?

[MoNsTeReNeRgY22]

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.

[aquevedo831]

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.
