Net year around tax seaon, I will be building a new gaming rig. I don't need anything other than the actual tower and it's guts. Just hopingt hat this will be enough to push some wicked frame rates. Here it goes:
CPU: AMD Phenom II x4 965 BE 3.4Ghz
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819103692
Motherboard: Asus Crosshair III Formula
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131392
RAM: G.Skill 4GB DDR3 1600
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231193
Video Card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5770
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102864
PSU: Raidmax Hybrid 2 730w
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817152036
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136218
Optical Drive: MSI 24x DVD Burner
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827100058
Case: XClio Windtunnel
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811103011
This setup, with discounts, is totalling $915.91.
Now, I am hoping that this setup will give me what I want. I don't think there should be any bottlenecks with the hardware, but not sure. Also, not sure if the PSU will be enough to push everything, or be enough to get another 5770 after a while to CrossFireX them. What do you folks think of this build? I know I won't be getting anything for several months, and new technology will be out long before that, but I like to dream early. lol.
