1. Processor- intel core i7 - 950
2. cooling- ?
3. fans- ?
4. RAM- ? min 4GB
5. HDD-? min 750GB
6. Motherboard-?
7. Graphic card-?
8. Thermal paste for processor-?
9. CD/DVD drive-?
:D
 
price range is 1k $ and also ya i forgot to put the OS, i need windows 7 64 bit home ultimate for it.
 
I dont know if your stuck on Intel but if not AMD will save you money, here is some ideas:

(From what I'm told this can easily be OCd to 3.4 ghz)

x3 at 3.99 a piece

I used the stock paste, no problems.

THis is roughly 700 bucks. I would let somone else check this first but I think it's a good start, you have some room to play around for sure. With the extra dough Maybe go for the XFX 850w for easy future upgrades.

-EDIT- Windows Ultimate 64 - 180, forgot to add this in but I think you still have a little room to upgrade the PSU.

Sorry I didnt ask because I assumed your building a gaming machine but what are you building this machine for? if its just for everyday word processing you can build somthing much cheaper.
 
Its for hardcore gaming and college use, I want to run multiple games and applications together. I want it to work for many years with less maintenance and maybe for business use in future.
I want to stick with intel, can you please provide the motherboard and other parts that support intel chips?
 
Hey sorry for this early reply (lol), but I want to say I like the Components, BTW do you guys know an awesome looking Case?
 
Nice, looks cool to me, but how about the ones that look a bit like alienware or there

That's what you'd call a ricer of computers :P

By the way, you need to copy the image location after you click on it in google, then paste the code between image tags :)

Verrry Nice, but these cases look like Inverter battery containers (not completely though), but as I suggested above, a bit like alienware look.
