total cost a/r is $1539.40.

I went a little overboard but can you guys check these parts out for me and see if its a good idea?

Looks pretty good. What are you going to be doing with it? If you wanna save a little, look at the 2500k. It's about the same as the 2600k but without hyper threading, so unless you're doing a lot of rendering or extreme multitasking, the 2500k will do just fine, you won't be disappointed.

 

[jonnyp11]

the benefits of the 2600k are minimal, and in real world use there probably is none,

thay have ripjaw x's for the same price with same everything, just the x wounds cooler and the heatspreader is cooler, might as well get them,

that's an mATX board so drop it for a full atx, there are many benefits, mainly pci slots

then take the saved money and you can get a 120gb ssd, and btw i'd get the caviar blue, i don't think there's enough of a benefit for the 25 bucks, but if you've got them then go for it.

Here, build this:

After tax+s&h, it should come to a little over $1500. The hdd I chose, I own, and trust over other hard drives, but that's my personal preference, choose whatever hdd you want/trust. Everything else I wouldn't change, I chose the parts I did because they're the best you can get within your budget.

If you plan on overclocking, I highly recommend the Noctua NH-D14($90), this will allow you to easily push the 2500k to 4.0Ghz and higher(4.8Ghz in some cases).

[jonnyp11]

that's a good build ^^, but again i'd go for a western digital blue or seagate barracuda, both are 6gb/s for one thing and i just prefer them

 

[Perkomate]

The SpinPoint F3 is fine. Mechanical hard drives are so similar in performance, that to be honest you won't notice any difference. Have you thought about a solid state drive, though?

 

[jonnyp11]

considering he actually does have one listed in his build, a 64gb, and remember how expensive they are.

 

[Perkomate]

ah, didn't see that. How about an OCZ Solid 3? They have better speed, though i'm not sure if the price is similar.

-EDIT-

yeah, I just checked the Solid 3 60 gigabyte. It's a little more expensive but more than 4 times faster than the samsung. They pull 500mb/s read, and 450 mb/s write. Similar to the Vertex, but the IOPS is worse, which explains why it's only AU$124 while the Vertex is $170.
