    Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!

    So I'm thinking about building a media PC. Used for everything and anything from photo/video editing, gaming, and school work. I don't have an endless budget but I don't have a tiny one either. I would also like to get into over clocking somewhere down the road.

    This is what I've been thinking so far.

    Main chit
    Case:CM 690II Advanced
    CPU: Intel i7-920
    Mobo: ASUS P6X58D
    HDD:
    Memory:
    Heatsink:CM V8
    PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-1000HX
    Disk Drive:
    Misc. Computer Chit


    Accessories
    Mouse: Razer Mamba
    Keyboard:
    Monitor:



    List to be updated

    @Horns: Get a media center case if you're building a media center... CM 690 II is a mid-tower, and I wouldn't want such a huge case taking up a lot of space near my entertainment center unless I was able to build a cabinet that actually incorporated it into the design...

    Actually, this gives me an idea for when we eventually upgrade our home theater with a media PC and 3D capable LCD...

    It's not gonna be a media center, it's gonna be a multi-purpose pc.

    it's a nice computer man, but i'd just build a budget computer for 500 bucks that'll coast you for a year or two, and then buy a new computer with some of the 8 & 12 core cpus that are being promised in the latter half of 2010, 11, and 12. Just saying that you can play every single game out there with no lag for basically 500 - 700 dollars.

    I suggest a nice cheap HD 4770. It's small, fast, quiet, cool (with tweaks, of course), and it plays most games on high settings. I only bought the HD 5750 Vapor-X because I don't plan to buy another video card for at least 4 years.

    movies etc: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824001338 (non- hdmi)
    gaming: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824236049
    best of both worlds: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16824005134

    e: also that razer mamba is a complete waste of money, razer makes terribly overpriced mice, not to mention it's wireless. I highly recommend getting a g500/g9/g9x. keep in mind that you should also invest in a good mousepad if you are so bent on spending so much for a mouse. QPAD and Steelseries make the best pads. All others are awful (wax paper taped to your desk is better than all others)

    The Razer Destructor mouse pad is great as well.
