THE BEST OF (i7)INTEL & NIVIDA & MAX RAM & 500GB - 1TB HARD DRIVE
!?!? What the hell is MAX RAM Supposed to mean? Nvidia? Nvidia got nothing on ATI right now. i7? There's 10 models of Corei7 processors.
What I'd get:
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD7 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard
Corei7 920 D0 SLBEJ ( If possible clock to 3.8-4.2 )
ATI HD5870 (PNY is good and cheap, don't go for Sapphire's )
OCZ Gold 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 2000MHz PC3-16000C10 Low-Voltage Tripple Channel
HDD Sollutions:
SSD for the OS and some programs you want to run faster:OCZ Apex Series 250GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive
Normal HDD for storage: 2X Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA-II 32MB Cache
PSU should not be under 750-800 Watts with that sort of setup.
Case: Whatever case you may like that fits everything inside, I'd suggest a CoolerMaster ATCS840.
Trust me, you can't go wrong with this sort of computer. You'll be able to run pretty much anything for the next 2 years.
