$2600 build, couple questions...

[fiveleaf]

I've finally picked the parts.
The shop is waiting for the green light.
I know that these prices are more than if I went elsewhere. That's fine with me. Just let me know if you think anything on this list is outrageously so.

And my biggest question... will this GPU work with all three of these monitors, in a landscape design, without issue?

Power cord-CBT-SP-PC $1.99

Monitor-MT-AS-VH242H $229.99 x2 (+1 that I already have)

Keyboard-Logitech G110 $99.99

Mouse-Logitech MX518 $69.99

Cooler Master V10 CPU Cooler $129.99

Optical Drive-CH10L520.AVBR10B $94.99

Motherboard-Asus Rampage III Extreme $429.99

Operating System-Microsoft Windows 7 Professional $329.99
REJECTED, will take build PC without an OS. Will be Win 7 64bit. Just not for $330.

Power Supply-CMPSU-850TX $159.99
This is enough... right?

Tower-Cooler Master HAF932KKN1GP $$159.99

Memory-TR3X6G1600C8 6GB $209.99

Processor-Intel Core i7-950 $349.99

SSD-SSDSA2MH080G2K5-9091 $279.99
Intel SSD (80gb? for boot times, probably OS and a variable FPS games).

HD-WD1002FAEX 1TB $109.99

Video Card-Asus EAH5850 $379.99



After OS adjustment:
My price: $2,699.99

Also... this is my first build. The computer stores didn't have anything fast enough. Gaming computers do not look professional.

Is there anything else I will need?

What other type use will the computer be used for other than gaming? My question is sparked by your using three monitors bumper to bumper ( I presume) ?

That is a lot of money and it is your first build. I can give you my input, as can others, but I would like to know a little more about the "use factor".

You can get the Core i7-950 for $294.99

I wouldn’t spend more money on a motherboard and CPU. Unless you have a special reason like running RAID I wouldn’t spend more than $175 on a motherboard.

For a cooler check out:

I’m not a big fan of SSD drives at this time. Too much cost and complexity. Because Windows 7 64-bit will use extra RAM to cache the hard drive, consider going to 12 GB of RAM instead if hard drive performance is really at issue.
