Computer Wish List

Let me get your opinion!

Also, due to money and other reasons, I may just wait until the summer comes before I try to assemble a rig. Wishful thinking.

CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K 3.3GHz Quad-Core Processor ($204.99 @ Newegg)

Motherboard: MSI P67A-G45 (B3) ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($97.99 @ Newegg + rebate)

Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($35.20 @ Newegg)

Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($119 + dvd burner)

Video Card: HIS Radeon HD 6870 1GB Video Card ($129.99 @ Newegg + rebate)

Case: Antec Three Hundred Illusion ATX Mid Tower Case ($69.99 @ Newegg)

Power Supply: OCZ 550W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($64.99 @ Newegg + rebate)

Total: $757~ with $682 or so after rebates

Shipping is only $7.68

couple of thoughts...
1. SSD drive is really a must. Load windows on it and everything else on a second drive.
2. personal preferences (bring on the flames) ASUS MB and NVIDIA graphics card.

Memory is so damn cheap right now, I'd go to 12 or 16. You never know when a Thailand is going to happen and cause a shortage.

I would consider a SSD drive since you're might actually fill that 500 gb anyway.

If you're waiting till next year, check out OCZ's line of PCI-e solid state memory with 4 controllers, its way faster than any SATA hard drive. For a few hundred you may be able to get 50gigs of space to install windows and a few frequently used applications, takes a few seconds to boot up off of it. I'm hoping to wait it out a little longer and nab one over 120gigs for under 350$.
