I hope someone can give my shopping list the once over. So far the components I'm seriously thinking about are:
Intel CPU Core i7 2600K Unlocked Sandy Bridge Quad Core Processor
ASUS P8Z68 DELUXE
Corsair Memory XMS3 12GB DDR3 1333 Mhz Dual Channel
Crucial 256GB 2.5" M4 SSD SATA-III 6Gb/s - Read 415MB/s Write 260MB/s for Windows 7
3x Western Digital WD20EARX 2TB Caviar Green Quiet SATA 6Gb/s IntelliPower 64Mb Cache 8ms HDD
Creative X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Pro 7.1 Soundcard
My PSU is a Corsair Professional Series HX1000W Power supply from my last build which I will take with me.
Other bits:
Roccat Kave Solid 5.1 Surround Sound Gaming Headset
ROCCAT Kone[+]
Das Keyboard Model S Ultimate
Asus VE278Q 27" LED Monitor
The graphics card/s is a problem, I know the 590 is a lot of money and I can save money by getting 2x 560's. But im worried about noise and heat and of course, performance. Looking at reviews, the 580 can't run BF3 on ultra at a good frame rate. I don't want to get a brand new system and still struggle to hit those high fps'.
Budget for this rig is about £2000. I would like to get it under that if possible but no dramas.
