New PC.

Hey All,

I want to get myself a new PC, for gaming, i want it to involve the i7 chip from intel. Anyone come up with some parts, budget is about 2k max. This is what i come up with so far.

CPU: Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail
CPU Cooling: Noctua NH-U12P SE1366 CPU Cooler (Socket LGA1366)
Motherboard: DFI Lan Party LP UT X58-T3eH8 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard
Memory: Corsair XMS3 6GB DDR3 PC3-10666C9 1333MHz (3x2GB) Triple Channel DDR3 (TR3X6G1333C9)
Case: Zalman GT1000 Z-Machine Case - Black (No PSU)
PSU: Zalman ZM850-HP Heatpipe Cooled 850W Modular Power Supply
GFX: HIS ATI Radeon HD 4890 1024MB GDDR5 TV-Out/Dual DVI/HDMI (PCI-Express) - Retail
Sound Card: Auzentech X-Fi Forte 7.1 PCI-Express Sound Card
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (WD6401AALS)
Optical Drive: Sony NEC Optiarc DRU-860S 22x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer ReWriter (Black/Silver) - Retail
Monitor: Dell Ultrasharp 2408WFP 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor
Keyboard: Logitech G15 Gaming Keyboard (920-000375)

Secondly, does anyone know a site that would build me a custom spec like this, not like most sites (incluing OCUK) that don't let me be completely custom, you have to Choose from the parts they suggest.

Thanks

Carl

Ah ok sorry about the link, i did email them and they basically said no only whats in there own PC configuration.

£2032.67

Had to buy a new mouse about 2 weeks ago, so don't need that. my G15 is on its last legs...so would like a new one, a G19 would be nice but i don't know if my budget can stretch to that...any idea on when its released?

I really don't have the confidence to do it...i mean its 2k worth or stuff and i don't wanna break it, set it up wrong etc etc, if i can get it built by a site they would have the knowledge to do it properly and also offer a warranty etc

I mean i dunno if i am just going for the most expensive stuff here as i am not that well 'up to date' on computer parts, i notice the Asus Rampage MB it mentioned a lot in i7 Systems, its one of the options in the OCUK configuration builder.

Ill post a system from the OCUK site that i configure myself (and that OCUK will build for me), and see what people think, im sure they could swap a few things in for me if i begged...i mean the PSU they offer to chose from are not very good, maybe they could swap it for my preferred version and i pay the extra/difference.
