The person I heard it from is the Head Guy of Alien w are's research/development department.... don't want to get him in trouble, but:

guy that I know works at Nvi dia:
NVIDIA GTX 590 Owners Club

For $960 I got the following:

AMD FX8150 3.6 GHZ 8 CORE
ASUS MOBO
8GB PC1866
1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0 64MB MEMORY Hard Drive
Coolmaster HAF922 Case
Coolmaster 650W PSU
Windows 7 Home Prem 64Bit

I held off the graphic cards b/c AMD aka ATI is dropping their new line in the couple weeks.

FYI buy a hard drive now. The Thailand thing is making good / reasonably priced hard drives hard to come by.

Well all I need know is the chip. So need help on best price for the i7 2600 k. So far $314 shipped. If any body knows where I can get it cheaper let me know. build you later evilblackjack

If you are close to one you might check Micro Center.

Well just bought a i7 2700 k for $314 shipped from newegg, they had a sale today. I was going for the 2600k but this one was cheaper. I just want to say thanks for all the great input and especially to Phyrelight on helping me decide which parts would be best. I used about $1,500 with about $120 dollars of rebates coming back to me in about six weeks. I will post a list of what I bought and a picture after i put it together. build you later evilblackjack

Should have had you pick up an i7 and mail it to me...


Looks like a good build based on your CPU choice and Phyre's picks... You will be shredding the BF3 nicely.
