Video Card - Not sure yet, either a single gtx 570 or a single gtx 680 if I can get my hands on it.
Probably go with a couple 120mm Noctua fans for the case... am I missing anything?
I still don't have Monitors selected, but am thinking about going dual monitors (do they need to be the same exact monitor?). Probably will go with 23 inches, as 27 is pretty huge. Would love some 120hz monitors that are supported by Nvidia graphics cards, but if I can't get 120hz then something else will suffice. Any suggestions?
Well, what do you think?
Thanks!

You don't need the exact same monitors unless you plan on splitting your games to both of them. Even then you don't need identical ones but it helps to keep the feeling of a single wider view. From what I remember there aren't any 120Hz 1080p monitors out there? Could be wrong. I think the refresh rate lowers as the pixels increase in density, or in other words - you get bigger resolution but the refresh rate drops.
I use a Viewsonic VX2753mh, but recommend the Asus VE276Q. Couldn't buy it myself, because of lack of stock in my country. Searched for months.
Other than that I give it a 9.8/10. Would've gone with a bigger SSD personally.
Sweet! Thanks for the hasty reply and the monitor recommendation. That Asus looks super sexy, and yes...2ms response is something I'm looking for too.
As for 120hz monitors @ 1080p -- here's one I looked at in the past, but apparently it only has a Display Port and the 120hz doesn't work well with Nvidia cards (or the 3D doesn't -- something).
Ah, yes. From what I can see people can get to 120Hz by using Dual DVI Cables. That's cool.
On to your reply: the monitors I linked to you are both 27" and cheaper then the one you linked, but if you prefer 3D then sure. For me it's still a bit of a gimmick. Also the contrast ratio is a bit low? Other than that it's cool. Samsung is usually a good manufacturer. My 2 old monitors are both Samsungs.
You're spending $500 on the case and PSU... for a system with 1 video card? A 2600K and a GTX680 will only use about 400 watts, maybe even 350. Thermal load will be low, also. You can downsize the PSU a lot, and maybe upgrade to a Platinum efficiency model and still come out ahead.
You don't have enough parts to fill out such a large case. On the other had, the vast cavity of empty air will help things stay cool and quiet. Still, it's a very large case by any measure; I hope you're not planning to move it around much.
You're only using one PCI Express slot. A Micro ATX motherboard can be used, if you want, opening up the option for smaller cases.
For the monitor, I'm using a Dell U2711, native resolution is 2560x1440. It's a very high quality IPS panel, and can be driven a single Dual-link DVI connction or DisplayPort. It's only 60 hz, but I appreciate having all those extra pixels both in game and on the desktop
I usually go with higher wat PSUs as well simply for upgrading purposes. But I like playing around with my configuration. OP is choosing out parts which leads me to believe he likes playing around as well. So in 2 years time some parts may change but that PSU will be there for good.
I have a mini mobo myself and the room from the normal ATX gives a lot of space for air ventilation so I approve of that part as well.
The monitor you mentioned is praised among the enthusiast build game community, but is also at the same price of all other products combined (depending a bit if OP buys the 680). I don't know if IPS is really worth it... I guess I have to see it for myself to get why the community is so obsessed by it.

The high resolution was the biggest draw for me. It's about 1.7x the number of pixels as 1080p, with a corresponding increase in detail. The effect is most noticable in first-person games, allowing you to see more detail further in the distance.
Compared to dual-120hz screens (as Nastai is considering), the cost isn't bad. It's likely to last several upgrade cycles. Additionally, while game support for dual-screens is spotty (at best), everything supports this single greater-than-HD display with no tricks or compromises.
Holy crap dude, that machine is gonna be screaming fast.
Those two mobos are essentially the same except for one's just got more whistles and bells on it. I think we had this discussion before about mobos. So I would just research those extra features and make sure that's something you wanna really pay 100+ dollars for.
I can't imagine for the life of me paying that much for a case! I just hope you know why it's that much. If you really wanna spend more on a nice case, I would really just go with this one here. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119213
Maybe you're a hardware enthusiast though and that's okay. I just can't help but imagine where that much money for a case could be better spent. Like say, toward a second ssd or a second monitor. But it's your money.
There's been much discussion on this forum about the i5 vs the i7. For the most part, people agree that for gaming, the i7 won't do much to improve the performance of games. It's only a little faster than the i5 and the overclocking speed is about the same. Still though, I don't think it's really a waste to get the i7 if you have the money for it. It may not be necessary for you, but I don't know what all your needs are. If you're getting into stuff other than gaming than the hyperthreading will come in handy for you.
You're CPU cooler is nice. Make sure you overclock your CPU and put that baby to good use!
Your PSU is nice, but I bet you can find one for a similar price that is fully modular instead of semi. I'm also more a fan of XFX PSU's but Corsair's are nice too and you seem set on a sort of Corsair PC build here.
Good RAM, but since you're getting into hardware enthusiast territory with your other stuff, maybe you should get some 2133mhz sticks instead of the 1600. Just an idea though. I'm sure your mobo supports RAM speeds up to that high.
That WD HDD is really nice. I wish I had the money to buy two of those and I'd RAID those suckers together. As for your ssd, most people are leaning toward the OCZ Agility rather than the Vertex but the ssd market is still kinda crazy. Do more research on it if I were you. You'll be happy either way though.
Well, I'm jealous fella!
My only recommendation is to consider paying less in some areas, such as your case and mobo, and investing in a little more in other areas, such as an extra ssd and such.
Nice, I'll consider those things! You may be right about the case, but I did like the fact that there was tons of space for airflow and also very good cable management. I actually like the look that it had too -- nice clean look with no flashy lights. Sometimes I think the blue/red glow of gaming pc's is a bit too much. This computer would be in my living room so it would be a little distracting, and not completely necessary.
But then again, $140 is a huge difference!
I was thinking of going i5, and am still not completely sure what I will do. I think that the i7 is a great processor and the next step up, so I could feel comfortable putting it to use for a while, whereas the i5 may be more easily overshadowed soon. But then again, for gaming, I could save quite a bit of money here.
Edit: I will probably end up leaning towards the cheaper motherboard, as there is only a few bonuses that I can see in the more expensive one -- things like extra USBs.
The motherboard says it supports RAM that is "2133 (O.C.)" -- I'm not quite sure what the "O.C" in that means. Will it actually support 2133 ram natively or is it only supporting RAM OC'd to that . . . or something like that? lol

Yeah and if you really want to, you can disable the LED lights in your tower. I mean it's your PC and you'll be able to customize it in so many ways. My case is a simple 60 dollar Thermaltake Black Edition. It's got tons of air flow. Not as roomy on the inside as I would like, but still, if you spent at least 100 dollars on the case such as that Cooler Master or one comparable to it, then it's going to be very roomy on the inside.
O.C. means overclocked. So for example, my RAM is Corsair Vengeance 1333mhz. But you can OC it to run at 1600mhz. And it's very easy to do. Most mobos it's simply a matter of going into the BIOS and setting the ram to its overclock speed. Speeds in RAM won't make a huge difference. But don't settle for anything less than 1600 at this point.
For your processor, I might recommend getting an i5-2500k for now. Then once the ivy bridge processors come out, your mobo will support that so you can ugrade to it then. So you can save about a hundred bucks now getting the i5. Then upgrade to ivy bridge a little later. It really doesn't sound like you're going to need the i7. I know it seems like you wanna get the most expensive processor in the i series, but they really are almost totally the same especially considering your needs right now.
The memory you selected is quad channel, but the two motherboards only support dual channel. You need LGA 2011 motherboard and processor to go with that memory, or use dual channel memory instead.
You only need a non-stock CPU fan if you are going to overclock. -$100
That case is way too expensive imo, especially since you will only be using 1 Video card. -$200
1050 Watt PSU is way way too much, the GTX 680 which is amazing is also very power efficient. Under full load its only going to use 250 watts, and your CPU will only use about another 100 watts. A good 500 watt PSU would work fine. -$150
Video card - Given your budget, GTX 680 hands down. The most important thing in gaming is the video card. The money you save from the above waste alone would be enough to buy the card.
Though Ivy bridge is so close, and Diablo so far away that you might just be better off waiting.
Ivy Bridge is the codename for Intel's 22 nmdie shrink of the Sandy Bridgemicroarchitecture based on tri-gate ("3D") transistors. Ivy Bridge processors will be backwards-compatible with the Sandy Bridge platform, but might require a firmware update (vendor specific),[1][2]. Intel will release new 7-series Panther Pointchipsets with integrated USB 3.0 to complement Ivy Bridge.[3]
Intel announced that it had begun volume production of Ivy Bridge chips in the third quarter of 2011[4], and sources are specifying the 29th of April 2012 as the availability date.[5]
All good points, and good catch on the motherboard. Now, not sure whether to upgrade to LGA 2011 mobo or downgrade the RAM. Originally I wanted some low profile RAM that wouldn't get in the way of the CPU fan.
I may stick with the case because, while I know it's very pricey, it's what I'm looking for in every sense, and I have been looking at it for a while -- it's also not something that is going to die on my (like hardware might), so it's an investment and can be used years into the future, while still being very efficient.
CPU fan, I will consider dropping. I suppose I could always get one at a later date, if necessary.
I will probably keep the power supply where it's at, so that I don't have to blow more money on a new one if I upgrade something.
As for waiting on Ivy Bridge -- probably won't happen.
Will revise parts and repost soon.
Edit: Question about the mobo selected regarding RAM -- Does the 2133 (OC) mean that it will only support RAM that is overclocked to 2133, but not RAM that is already at 2133 before overclock?

I suppose I could better invest this money, in another SSD or something (though I currently have no knowledge of RAID), or just save it -- which seems like it may be a good idea.
Part of me is so tempted to just go i7, 2011 mobo -- just all the high end stuff. Because I can probably afford it, but I guess with technology, it's not really worth it. Plus, the lower grade should be a pretty hawt machine still.

Case: Good case, expensive though. It's also more meant for watercooling. (could save $80 here with something like the HAF-X)
CPU: Excellent choice...Best CPU for price/performance. Though Ivy Bridge is literally around the courner...
MB: Looks good to me
PSU: That PSU is overkill for just 1 card and even overkill for most 2-cards configurations. (could save $40 with an 850w)
Memory: Why 16 GB? (could save $40 with 8GB)
SSD/HDD: Pretty standard, looks fine
Optical Drive: Again, standard...I never buy Bluray discs, but it's "future proofing" I suppose. (could save $50 here with a DVD drive)
All that said, I'm just penny pinching here. Everything you have listed are great choices if you're trying to extend the life of your computer as long as possible.
If you're willing to spend the extra money for a little bit of "future proofing" (nothing is ever future proofed when it comes to computers), then by all means, go for it
PS: Any reason you can't wait for Ivy Bridge to be released?
I'd urge you to reconsider on the CPU fan and go with http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835103099
It'll get the 2500k to 4GHz easily. Even without overclocking, it's going to keep the cpu cooler which means said cpu will last longer. And of course cooler means quieter.
Agreed with Drew across the board. The parts you picked out are excellent, but there's room to save a few bucks if you were so inclined.
DrewGamer -- I'm not waiting on Ivy Bridge mainly because I want to get the computer built prior to May 15th so that my GF and I can play some D3 together at release. That's the main reason.
Superfula -- You're saying that I should get a CPU fan, even a cheap one, instead of running the stock fan because it will give me better performance, that is worth the price. Correct?

Nastai, still not sure what you need a 200+ dollar case for. But hey man, the case if you can afford that is still gonna be great for you. You'll probably find yourself wanting to do more hardware upgrades just to make use of all the room on the inside. I'm sure you'll be happy with it.
Also, I think you're doing the right thing going with the unlocked i5. When ivy bridge becomes widely available you can just upgrade to that if you want and that will be a smarter investment than later replacing an i7 processor.
As for your PSU, I still think if you're willing to spend that much, you should try to find a fully modular PSU. It's nice to know you can detach every single cable you want. Mine unfortunately is not even semi modular so I got a ton of snakes crawling around in my case.
But fully modular high wattage PSU's are pretty expensive I guess. I'm sure you'll use up the chords that aren't modular in your PSU anyway. I agree with other that you don't need that much wattage. People will tell you wattage isn't everything and that's still true. I'm just saying, with your case and your PSU, a lot of it's going to go to waste I think unless you're ready to add more hardware to make use of all that space and extra power. But this is good too if you plan to do so. I guess you'll probably wants to SLI your video cards or something. That's a good start and using up all that power.

I'm just saying, with your case and your PSU, a lot of it's going to go to waste I think unless you're ready to add more hardware to make use of all that space and extra power. But this is good too if you plan to do so. I guess you'll probably wants to SLI your video cards or something. That's a good start and using up all that power.
