Looking to spend ~$2k with monitor.
Note on monitor: The desk might be a bit small, so we looked at ~22" with the best dot pitch. Seems only 21.5" 1080P's fit the bill.
Doing a build for a friend, but I have no experience with i7's + X58 (did a P55 build for another friend). He's looking for it to last about 3 years and he won't overclock. He will mainly use this computer for gaming and streaming media to his Xbox.
Will there be any issues with the parts I chose? I looked up QVL's and compatibility problems, and they should be clear. Also, will the P183 cool fine? I'm worried about having a GTX 480 in there. Any recommendations on cases would be great.
Anyway, here's the list of stuff.
Antec P183
Asus P6X58D-E
Corsair HX850 (chosen for 7 year warranty)
Core i7 930
EVGA GTX 480
2 x 6GB G.Skill NQs
2 x Samsung 1TB F3
Asus 21.5" 1080p
Asus Xonar DX PCI-E
