Hey guys Ive been doing at lot of research for a hard core gaming rig.
Mostly play Far Cry 2, Call of Duty 4. Im shooting for a price tag of $1350 including a monitor. It doesnt leave much money for future proofing and this will be my first build. I was wondering if everything i have is Ok and do i need a big case or meduim case. Also i was debated what motherboard to go with. What motherboard would be more bang for your buck? Buying from New Egg:
Intel Core i7 920-$294
EVGA 132-BL-E758-A1 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard-$299 or
GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard-$199
G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333-$79
CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V-$124
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer 7.1 Channels-$90
EVGA 01G-P3-N880-AR GeForce 9800 GTX+ 1GB 256-bit -$209
ASUS VH226H Black 21.5" 2ms(GTG) HDMI Widescreen 16:9 Full HD 1080P LCD 1200x1080-$199
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Total $1,275.93 with EVGA mothorboard w/o case
Total $1175.93 with GIGABYTE motherboard w/o case
I already have a hard drive and widows vista home premuim
