Tulivu: I am actually planning on purchasing this to build today.
Case: Coolmaster 912 w/ liquid cooling
CPU: i5-2500k (i7-26k is unnecessary for +100$)
Mobo: Gigabyte Z68A (can handle 2 crossfired gpu's for when I need to upgrade)
GPU: Radeon 6870
PSU: 800W (allows room for upgrade)
RAM: Corsair 4gb 1666 + 8gb 1333 (scrapping the 1333 from my busted rig though I don't really need 12gb, why not)
HD: 1tb (I need to check if the one from my busted rig will work, as well)
DD: Sony DVD (I just use the PS3 for bluray)
Not bad for under 1k, I think. Opinions?
Drop the Liquid cooling. and get a good air cooler. Also if you can afford it, an HD6950 is a better card and not too much more expensive.For ram, I'd go with the same sticks and more with gSkill than Corsair as they have better components with better compatibility. Also, when you buy ram, look for lower timings rather than high clocks as timings matter more.Case: Coolmaster 912 w/ liquid cooling
