I've pretty much purchased all the parts for my new (and first) build. Now I just need to get a motherboard! I think I've narrowed it down between the Gigabyte x58 Extreme and the Asus Rampage II Extreme (after reading through Brolloks tests and stuff it seems the P6T isn't as good as the Gigabyte X58). I was also thing about the EVGA X58 but it just didn't strike me. This computer will primarily be used for gaming.
My build:
Case: CM690
Video Card: EVGA GTX 280 FTW (might SLI eventually)
Processor: i7 940
Heatsink: Thermalight Ultra-120 Extreme RT 1366 with Arctic Silver 5
Power Supply: BFG ES-800
Memory: Corsair Dominator 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3-1600, CAS:8
Hard drives: 2x WD6401AALS (Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB 32mb cache)
Optical drives: 2x (SH-S223Q) Samsung Dvd burners
Whatdya guys think? If anyone could direct me to some sort of side by side review that'd be great. Comments on the build welcome too!
