These are just the internal components. I have thermal compound, Vista 64 bit, a anti-static wrist strap, keyboard and monitor.





Thanks in advance, this will be my first build. It is a gaming rig/high performance editing computer, and I don't feel like buying a **** premade.





I think the internal components come out to about $1186.New Computer Rig, Advice PLEX?
well you can tweak that setup for more power where it counts most.

For $34 extra, you'd have a machine that would completely PUMMEL the one you're showing us. I dare ANYONE to disagree.New Computer Rig, Advice PLEX?
Go for core i7. although the clock is lower, it IS much faster. Also, the coolermaster cm 690 is the best case in the sub $100 category. i have built dozens of computers with it. it is great. Don't get me wrong, if you don't want to dish out another 80 bucks for an i7 motherboard, then that is a great build
Looks to me you already know it's a ';good'; build. You're just here to show off. ;p





Don't waste time. Get the full 8GB of RAM. There won't be a game on the market you can't play on high settings with no lag whatsoever. (It's what I'm running now. Forget that 4GB junk.)
i would get a single very powerful Graphic card instead of SLI.cause all i hear SLI is a hype.and sometimes games stutters on SLI setup.and waste a lot more energy.maybe a single Geforce 285 or 295 will give much smoother experience in gaming.that's all i can say otherwise fine build P
almost everything's good except for vid card, just get 2 GTX 260 core 216 instead, a bit more money but the performance should double(stream processor amount)
Your computer looks ready for some high end gaming.





Since you are using Vista 64-bit, you should add more ram to your com (making it 8 gb of ram would be great!)
