Well I went ahead and bought my computer parts and put majority of it together this weekend. All except my OS hard drive. I visited my family for Christmas, in Texas, and they have a Fry's Electronics nearby. I was able to find all my parts at a price matched level as online stuff, and I only had to pay taxes for the convenience. Here's what I ended up buying.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium HD: Intel X25-M 80GB SSD (in mail), Velociraptor WD 300GB 10,000RPM PSU: Corsair TX850W Power Supply MOBO: Asus Rampage Extreme II Motherboard CPU: Intel i7 920 Processor GPU: Diamond Radeon HD 5850 w/ HDMI Heatsink: Coolermaster V8 Peripheral Cooling: (6) Cooler Master 80mm fans Case: Lian Li Aluminum Full Tower (Salvaged from 6 year old build, will replace) Monitor: 24" LG Flatron W2486L LCD/LED Backlit The monitor I immediately regret as I know I wanted that samsung, but I didn't wait to get it, as I could only find it in Best Buy stores that are nowhere near by, the LG monitor, Fry's had in their store, and the 2,000,000:1 contrast ratio is what was the most important to me, and the LED backlit making it 1" thick. I already found a dead pixel on the bottom left though. ![]() I'll take pictures once the Intel SSD comes in, then I can install windows 7 on it.
