I'm thinking about getting a non black edition and over-clocking my self to save money, what do you guys think? Also still might be considering an I5 or I7.

Graphics Card-
SAPPHIRE 100314SR Radeon HD 6870 1GB http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102909 X2
nice card for the money, and saves even more with free HDMI cable.

PSU- Corsair cmpsu=750tx 740whttp://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139006
Think I might go up to 1kw with 80 or 90 cert.

Memory- Corsair Dominator GT 2133. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145316

We can't see your shopping cart, you need to make it public.

PSU - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207003&Tpk=XFX Black edition 750 - Just as high quality, same price after rebates and modular too.
Memory - 2133 unnecessary unless you are an extreme overclocker, for that amount you could get 8GB of CL7/8 DDR3 1600
HDD - Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB faster, more capacity, $10 more
CPU - The black edition runs at the same speed at stock, just has a unlocked multiplier to make overclocking easier, I'd definitely get it. Besides, the non-BE version is pretty hard to find.
Cheaper combo drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106292
Cheaper boot drive - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...227510&cm_re=Onyx_32GB-_-20-227-510-_-Product
Case - Do you really need something like the lanboy air? I've seen that case get ALOT of criticism, links can be given if requested. You're better off going with something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119137&Tpk=Coolermaster%20690
What's the usage of this PC? Also, you haven't listed a CPU cooler.

All of the above is assuming you want to build it now, Sandy Bridge is out on January 5th, new Intel CPUs, woo! I'd wait till then.
 
Alright thanks, Ill keep that in mind. As for the new Intel cpu's, have they released a price range yet, all I know about that is that their ranging from 4 core to 8 or so. Oh also about the bad reviews on Lanboy, are talking about random people on new egg reviews or reviews form actual magazines/publishers?

Click to expand...

Yeah that it is lol, was looking at the case for more moding platform. Though after some research found out the motherboard plate doesn't rotate. I'm Just going get a cheaper one I can hack up for my desired look. Will post pics when ever done, not sure if this website is big into case modding.
