Personally id go with a quadcore amd build at that budget,maybe core i7. triple channel ddr3 will not work in a 775 mobo, those are dual channel memory. The Killer nic is pretty much useless imo, but to each their own. HDD Coolers arent really worthwhile, neither is that delta fan, the fans stock in the antec twelve hundred are fine and nowhere near as loud as a delta. Plus i would use that towards getting a good heatsink for the cpu. Also... your gonna need a power supply.. What kinda budget you looking at total, and you prefer amd over intel or vice versa? I could help you revise list;)
 
My overall budget is $1750, not including monitor or operating system. Pretty much only thing computer will be getting used for is Diablo 2, 3, and world of warcraft

thanks. I will try that build. Was wondering though, with 2 graphics cards, not sure if it were just rumor but will i need to something to cool the graphics cards down? if so what do you recommend?

Also, since this will be my first computer built, I am not sure 100% what i will be running into, what is thermal paste used for exactly?

The gpu's have heatsinks built into them, they will stay plenty cool(well gpu's naturally run warm so cool is a little far stretched) in a nice large case like a twelve hundred. Thermal paste is used between the processor and heatsink, the heatsink i put you a link to comes with some stuff, but its low quality silicone paste, while the tuniq stuff is one of the best on the market;)

I forgot to ask you, what network card do you recommend?

Onboard is fine, i find the killer nic's to be just a gimmick, the only way i would ever purchase one is if i cant find anything else to spend evga bucks on when i get a million folding points...

and about the CPU/Motherboard, what would i be able to approximately OC it to while still being stable?

All depends on the chip really, but you could prolly get a decent oc from it.

I still am not too familiar with computers. "Dual Lan onboard", is the LAN usually any fast? and that wireless? what does dual lan mean?
Click to expand...

Not sure what your asking... but dual lan means it has two gigabit ethernet connectors, unless your talking about a wifi card, which isnt built into it, you would need something like an 802.11g card for wifi.
