Welcome to PCM.

Your list is pretty good. When you say you've 'started my build', have you bought the parts yet or not?

i have bought the case and the power supply i live out in the country a bit so have to wait for delivery before i purchased any more parts i was hoping for some feed back as to my list.

Hi dvinci

Looks like a great build, although seems like a bit of overkill to get 2 x 280s when your only going to be using them on a 22" screen.
At the moment 1 x 280 will run absolutely anything on full at that res and will do for some time to come, so IMHO you're better off saving the money now and when your 280 gets old, but a newer card to replace it.

When you say "q9650 x2", do you mean you are buying 2 processors? I'm pretty sure that motherboard will only support one.....

Also its worth noting that currently games do not utilize 4 cores very well, so your actually better off with a faster dual core. This will probably change in the coming years, but again it may be worth saving the money now and upgrading to a quad when it becomes beneficial.

Anyway whatever you do looks like you're going to have a monster of a machine
