Thinking about a new gaming build $1500 Budget
I built the machine i have now back in january of 2008. I got alot of suggestions and help with the Rig I have now, which is listed in my signature.
My brother offered to buy my rig for 600 since his computer is old as sin. What I am looking for if I decide to go with a new build would be. 1) a core I7 processor with a motherboard that is open to be able to upgrade to something better in the future. 2) Would like to go SLI mode. So dual video. EVGA Geforce preferred ... GTX 260 or higher 3) Better ram then what I have now 4) Bigger HD 5) Windows 7 64bit 6) Do not need a Monitor or a keyboard and mouse I have a Prolimatech Megahalems cooler ( http://www.svc.com/megahalems.html ) In my machine now which i would move to the new rig. Including 2 Ultra Kaze 120 MM fans ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16835185054 ) On top of that I would prob move my Raptor HD over also. Thanks in advance with all the help

Honestly speaking...at this point in time it would be dumb to go with an nvidia card for the price.
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139009 GPU: One of these will kill GTX260 in sli... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814102857 Case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16811119197 Mobo: Best board for the price, overclocks like a monster as well http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16813186169 Memory: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16820226028 OS: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16832116754 HDD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16822148433 ODD: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16827118030 CPU: Xeons will overclock and run at lower voltages than Core i7's as they are higher binned chips(Generally speaking) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-213-_-Product Subtotal: $1,444.90 Plus you cant go wrong with the megahalems...best cooler out there

Add a new monitor to it for better graphics. It will be good.
