Is there anything wrong with this build ?

ok i've swapped out the PSU i chose the original one because i was going to whack in my 250gtx, if i could that is.
I'll be using the rig for gaming and 3d design/rendering and using my old rig as part of the render farm.
and the ecogreen harddrive is slow if you want to use it for windows and installing games/programs onto.

any suggestions for a 1TB/2TB drive ?
 
ok you've saved me a bit of money there :)
few things i just want to check on if you don't mind.
Corsair CPU cooler vs Coolit Vantage
Asus M4A88TD - definately Nvidia SLi
thanks :)

the corsair cooler will be perfect, should get that 1090T cpu to around 4ghz, many people already have.

and NO amd chipset board will ever support SLI, the companys hate each other that much!!

The only way to get SLI support is by Intel motherboard chipset/ and obviously cpu

See you say AMD will never support but the Asus EVO is an AMD chipset ... ?
- CPU: AMD Phenom II/Athlon II/Sempron 100 Series Processors (Socket AM3)
- Chipset: AMD 880G / SB850

sorry if i seem confused, spending this amount will do such things lol.
 
yeah i guess, well what would you recommend ... an ATI card or that mobo ?
i don't mind going over to ATI as long as it's not stupidly expensive for the equivalent card.
 
well if i change the card to ati aren't i better staying with the Asus crosshair IV seeing as it's 16/16x?

will OC be stocking that AM3 SLi mobo at any point ? is there a way i can see if they can pick one up ?

yeah i thought as much, ok well i've got some thinking to do. I would prefer to stay with Nvidia for network rendering because my other rig is Nvidia and i think 2 different makes would cause problems.
I'm thinking either of those 2 mobos and the 470 as i probably wont need SLi.

Thanks guys x

:EDIT: Upon reflection the ATI cards for the same price seem to outperform the 470 ... Now i'm in a pickle lol.

Anyway thanks again

liking the sound of that then :) i'd say i'm pretty much sold lol.
I'll whip up another order and see how it looks, What do ppl think of the monitor/keyboard/mouse ?
 
the one i suggested, i'll have a look at the benQ now.

The benQ no HDMI sounds nice cause i probably wont use hdmi for the PC cause everytime i do i have issues lol so i'll swap out the HD lead and get a DVI-D instead.

What do you think about the samsung i mentioned to the BenQ (LED Backlit)?

thats not too bad, little cheaper than my original but im not too keen on that 'ThemalTake' cpu rad, definately not a fan of solidstate drives either, they seem over-rated and over-priced. sure they may be fast, safe and secure but i don't plan on dropping my rig down the stairs and im not sure that the speed is that noticeable.
