well it's been a few years and im coming into some good money in abut 5 weeks. im looking to build a high end / current desktop system. i just need some advice on what would be considered "current" hardware to tide me over for awhile. budget wise im thinking about $1500-$1700. plus ill be selling my current rig for about $650.
case: i always go with coolermaster: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119216 . "open to other ideas too."
lcd: ill be buying at best buy "i like to see them in person" it will be a HP and a 25-27".
im planning on installing mountain lion with the least amount of issues. i will also be dual booting "separate hdd's" with windows 7 ultimate.
need advice on:
cpu: intel quad core... no more than $300
gpu: nvidia, no more than $250-275
mobo: asus of course.
ram: either gskill or ocz, id like to use 12-16gb dual channel.
psu: id like to get another 850watt.
hdd: probably a 750gb sata and im considering a ssd as well.
dvd drive: blue ray / dvd / cd burner. probably lg or liteon?
