Default MW2 - Gaming Rig <AMAZING!>
I have a $450 (tax included) budget for a CPU/Mobo.

I have purchased a combo deal for $262 (including tax), and I have to figure out how to get the rebate for the product (psu):
XFX 5770
OCZ ModXStream 700w

I am in search of a CPU/MOBO/Memory for my new FPS gaming rig.

I would like to CF or have a triple GPU set up someday. Never know, I might hit the lotto and donate everything away after I buy 2 more monitors + 2 more GPUs.

I am new to the OC scene, well I cam back 2009 as an old member with two posts. I'm trying to read/learn as much as I can before winter session starts. So I am hoping to over clock the CPU/memory/GPU.


I am using my 2nd generation Western digital 250gb 16mb cache Caviar SE harddrive. Will upgrade to 2x WD Caviar Black in Raid 0, and a third for back up. I will purchase a g500 and gaming keyboard (best believe the keyboard will be a real gaming keyboard, i read a great sticky on here..will re-edit and get the name). I need advice on a great mousepad, and I'm not sure if I want cloth or not. Looking forward to buying a Samsung 2233RZ (1680x1050 @ 120hz) LCD Monitor. I will be sufficient air cooling for future OCn. Please keep in mind this paragraph has nothing to do with my budget.


Thank you for your time, and thanks in advance to any future posters.

I managed to get my build for just under $400 before I got my Corsair. Hope that helps you. Fudge with it any way you want.

Since the OP wants to do 3 GPU in the future its best to go i7 1366 and x58 mobo just like this member linked or save a little more so he can have better choices in motherboards.

ok so how about i9 - $200 @ microcenter

Foxconn Bloodrage, maybe Gti, maybe not.. doubt the Sonar Sound card is worth paying for, but maybe it is?

I doubt I have enough for 6gb ram now, but I might sell my current rig for $250..and get a Caviar/HAF case.
