Ive been researching for hours a day about the newest hardware. I just found this forum a little bit ago and Ive checked the recommended rigs in this section, so I'm glad to see they were similar to mine. I have built a computer, but just not completely on my own before. Definitely going high-end this time around.
So apparently Ive got a pretty good setup. The only thing I'm not sure about is the power-supply and case. How do I know if everything will fit and it has enough ventilation? I'm definitely overclocking my i7 to at least 4.0ghz, and I'm set on my 2000mhz RAM, and my SSD to install my OS on. Ive got extra HDDs, disk drives, and I have my home theater system, so I don't need any of that within my build. The two things I am completely missing is a blu-ray reader/burner and a card reader (for sdhc/xc and above). I have all of the essentials though. I should be receiving an email from Microsoft for Windows 7 at thirty dollars since I'm a student. Hopefully it's 64 bit. And if there's a better liquid cooling system that won't tear a hole in my pocket then I'm all for it.
So what do you think guys? Is this rig a good price? Any issues? Recommendations? Any deals you know of, to save money? With rebates and the NEWCUSTOMER10 coupon the total comes out to $1,357, or $1,345 with free two day shipping with Shop Runner.
