Check my Budget i5-2500K O/C for Some Gaming [Easy2Read]

Will it be in stores between 15th and the 20th? Good call. I might just wait. There's a site that says $199 for the video card, which would be good. That one unlocked MSI card is sold, but I have another who is wanting to sell me his for $230 shipped.

I can get a used MSI Twin Frozr III 6970 2GB (6950 unlocked) for $260 shipped. Worth it?

Preface: I'm not hardcore about dropping tons of money into a computer. BUT.... If I do build it.... I'd like to build it right.... I just like to be good with money and planning. I priced out a I7 build a few months ago and decided it's not worth it to me because I'm really not doing any...

My arrogance? What in the fuck are you talking about? I came here for help and others (not you) are talking through things with me. I'm asking questions and admitting I don't know everything because I'm too busy to keep up with the computing world. I guess you're reading my posts with a...

And I took care of the fan issue... I got a good case with 4 fans already for $55. The Memory is worth getting if it takes 1.5v, in case I need to run it at 1.65v. The higher the clock speed the better, as well. I would be able to run my chosen RAM at a lower CAS latency at 1333 or 1600.

lehtv: My budget is what I want it to be.... I just "expected" to pay $650, LOL. I got my costs down $70, so I'm pretty happy with the tweaks... I'll look into the motherboard discount real quick. Not sure if I'll wiggle on the PSU, but I'll double check prices.... From what I understand Antec...

One of my best friends is TyphooN/tyween (on here and XtremeSystems). He's pretty hardcore into extreme overclocks and helped with the build... He's saying I should go with a 2GB over the 1GB.... Thoughts? I also had a 9800pro Powercolor and video overclocking didn't go well at all... Is...

LG M237WD that I have handy.... I think I was gaming at 1920xWhatever before on a POS 128MB 9800pro. I can always take this back. What would you suggest? My friend who helped me put this together is really picky about how power is managed and is really careful about PSU's and overclocking...

I came up with 2 ideas for Temporary Hard Drives, let me know what you think: Seagate Barracuda Green 1.5TB 5900 RPM 64MB SATA 6.0Gb/s - $99 Seagate Spinpoint F3 500GB 7200RPM 16MB Cache 3.0Gb/s - $85 I was thinking that 160+120+80 = 360GB... If I got a 500GB drive and used the enclosure for my...

Thanks for the input. In the 5 hours I've spent in the car today, I had some time to do some thinking... I might back off the i7, I'm thinking 8GB of memory is fine, I'm okay backing off the SSD all together..... But If I get the SSD, it has to be at least 120G. I'll do some clicking and...
