New build.

[Spl_181]

Well its time to build a new machine, here is what I was looking at. its been a while since my last build and I really haven't kept up on things so please let me know if anything is too much or not enough. I already have the case (Cooler Master Cosmos), HDD's and Dvd burner.

Here is the list:

Asus Rampage Exreme III Gene LGA 1366

Palit GTX 460 1Gb

G.Skill Pi series 6gb

Intel i7-930

Corsair 750TX

Prolimatech Megahalems

 

 

 

A side note, this machine will primarily be used for gaming, I would like the ability to OC but its not my main focus at this point.

 

Thanks for any help/input

For your PSU I'd get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006&cm_re=750w-_-17-139-006-_-Product

It's cheaper and it's also from a reliable brand

 

If you're up to it and still want a PC Power and Cooling: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817703029&cm_re=750w-_-17-703-029-_-Product

That's the one I have (well mine's black) and it's an amazing unit

 

The RAM is good but I'd get these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231335 Better and cheaper

 

The Prolimatech Megahalems is my favorite cooler right now http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16835242001&Tpk=megahalems but make sure it will fit

Thanks for the input IVIYTH0S. I went ahead and changed some components. The CPU cooler looks promising, is there any specific fan you would recommend? I was going to buy a few of these to replace existing fans in my case, think it will be ok for the CPU cooler? They are a little expensive but if they last and are as quiet as people say it just might be worth it.

 

Anyway thanks again!

It's up to you how strong (fast) you want the fans, I have Ultra Kazes on mine (Scythe's fastest fans) but a slipstream or the flex's should do fine!
