Hoped I could get some feedback from you guys. I'm building a gaming-rig for a relative with a budget of $1000. Here's what I was going for...
Case: Antec 900 Mid-ATX
MB: ASUS M4N75TD nVidia nForce 750a SLI-ready (AMD) Core Unlocking
GPU: 2 x EVGA GeForce GTX460 1gb SE in SLI
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series 650W ATX12V
CPU: AMD Phenom II X2 555 Black Edition Callisto 3.2GHz (3rd and 4th cores unlockable)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaw 8gb DDR3 1333
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 600gb SATA2 7200rpm
Optical Drive: ASUS 24x CD/DVD burner
+ Windows 7 OEM ($99), Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound, remover, and purifier ($20)
I'm a little over budget (the GPUs just came off of a great bargain, back up to $170ish with MIR)... any recomendations on where costs should be cut without sacrificing too much performance?
