First build, would like some input

[Leonius]

I am a avid PC gamer, and for awhile I have been meaning to build my own gaming rig, and I was hoping for some input on by build. So far it looks like this: View attachment Gaming PC Info.txt
I am having a little trouble choosing which video/graphics card to use, and would like some help with it.

I strongly suggest you go for Core i7 920.

With AMD, I personally will go for AM3 instead of AM2+. In case you want AMD, you'd best off to ATI graphic card (4870 1GB/ 512MB) such that you could run crossfire in future.

Well, I was leaning towards the ATi 4870, but I wanted a second opinion. As for the Core i7 920, why should I get it?

Everything look fine. Go for the 4870.

Intel Corei7 outperform all phenom II CPU!! But it is more expensive...

Case: I suggest save some money to go for Antec Nine hundred instead. $110
Or even a cheaper cooler master 690 $80,
then the saving go for i7 920 and DDR3 RAM

CPU: intel core i7 920 $289

Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R $200

RAM: CORSAIR XMS3 3 x 2GB DDR3 1333 TR3X6G1333C9 $89, MIR $20
