My i7 Build
So after a long thought and comparison between building an i7 or a Q9550 computer i have decided to build an i7 920 because the prices are close enough that i just said screw it so tell me what you think.

I decided not to go with Blue Ray burner or reader because it was kind of hard for me to justify the cost.

I think I wish I had that kind of money.
I'd go with OCZ Freeze over AS5 to be honest. And I can't see that CPU cooler doing much of a job... I'd go with the Xiggy Dark Knight.

looks good, your gonna love it. keep your eye out for sales of blu ray readers. i picked up an lg blu ray read only for $90 about 2 months ago. with the i7's you can encode and shrink a blu ray in about 3-4hrs, if your interested in that type of thing. that's 30-40gigs down to 7-8gigs with almost no loss in quality. my old amd 4400x took between 21-24 hrs.

overall a great computer, wish i had the $$$$. finally someone got a good PSU to handle their GPU.
__________________Tri-Sli board necessary with a GTX295? lol and the 1TB might be slower than some other drives. many people claim the WD Black 640GB is one of the fastest 7200rpm drives u can get. if u need more storage, get a 2nd drive. looks like u can spare the cash for a storage drive, or even an external drive Quote:
as for thermal paste, thats personal preference. as long as ur not using the thermal pad that comes on some of the HSF, u will be doing good. but if u had the sense to put this rig together, u already know that.  nice build, good luck. post pics and screen shots when its running

OCZ Freeze has 1C (or so) lower without the curing time of AS5.

+1 for not going with a crap liquid kit. If you wanna go with WC'ing, head over to the WC'ing part of the forum... Juggalo has a pretty good outline on parts though.
Other than that, looks flippin' fantastic.
