First Build... i7 - Overclock.net

Thorn · 04-10-09

I am going to be doing my first computer build here shortly. I will be using it for gaming and other various programs. I also would like to overclock the 920 to around 3.4ghz. I'd like to stick with Nvidia as well. I will be setting up a raid1 with the hdd. Price isn't too much of a concern. However, I would like to stay at or under $2,500. My wish list comes in under $2,500. Any advice, input, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

A small part of me dies every time I see somebody spending money for an operating system. Hint hint, wink wink. Perhaps we could chat via e-mail to discuss other alternatives, such as, uh, Linux of course

PM me your e-mail if that sounds interesting to you.

Also, I would strongly recommend the 4890 over the GTX275... it is typically faster and has a full GB of memory which will come in handy when gaming at 1920x1200/1080. I would also recommend an LCD that does 1920x1200 over 1920x1080, that way you can run the extreme preset of 3DMark Vantage.
