Default New Rig
Finally, I am able to build a new rig

I already ordered everything in my specs (today in fact), sans accessories (already got those)... going to be shooting for a moderate OC, maybe 15%, and figured I would come here to make sure I do it right

probably wouldn't have went with an i7-960 as the 920 is basically the same thing just overclocked and a crapload cheaper (learned this after my build lol...) but it looks like a great build!

Gl to you!

Everything looks nice, but I think you overpaid for the performance you'll get from the GTX275.

i7 960 is a no-no.

It's a holdover solution until I can afford an i7 975; naturally, I am not going to live with one GPU for long either

i7 920 is the best i7 for the money. Use the money saved to get a 5870.

And wait longer than I already am? I am not worried, I left a lot of room to upgrade over the next couple years
