Building new computer

[knifesideleft]

So for about the 3rd time in my life I need to replace my home gaming computer and Ive spent a lot of time looking up the parts for this and trying not to go over my budget of 1800.

I've been recommended newegg to purchase my parts by a friend and here is a Link to my "Wish list"

and for some reason if that doesnt work, here is a text copy of them all

Looking for suggestions on this build. I'm making the purchase soon so Im hoping I got everything set up nicely. Also I am curious about the ocing ability on these if anyone has any ideas. I'm hoping to bring up the intel/ram as much as I can on air cooling.

Very good system, have a good fun with it.

I have not used max series since original AT7 (which was a brilliant board).

Not sure about PSU ? do you have to have that blue led? I?d get seasonic /seasonic -based one.

Also for just a bit more you can get better/quieter cooler. (okay, with centurion?s air tube i see why you went for it)

I've just ordered a pretty similar system ... only with a different power supply and an 8800 GTX vs the GTS 🙂 Can't wait to build it!
