CPU - Intel i5 2500k (don't even look at anything else) ~$200 Mobo - SLI/Crossfire capable mobo made by Asus, MSI or Gigabyte ~$140 GPU - 6970 or GTX570. ~$320 RAM - 8 GB (2X4GB) tripple channel DDR3 ~$100 Case - Full tower case with lots of fans ~$120 HDD - 120 GB SATA 3 SSD 1 TB 7200 RPM hard drive ~$200 ~$60 Power Supply - 800 Watt Antec (or similar quality brand) ~$130 DVD DL Writer with Bluray OR DVD DL Write BLuray ROM Drive ~$100 CPU heatsink - Noctua NH-D14 ~90 bucks
I'll actually be building a monster PC myself in about 3 months. My Phenom II 940 CPU and mobo architecture is sturting to hold back my frame rate and I am changing to Intel camp. |

There are 2 i7 cores that cost $225....but after looking at your build I have to say i'm liking it alot. Just a few questions that I have though.
Ok so we'll probably go with the i5 2500k for the processor and the GeForce GTX 570 for the GPU. Now what i'm wondering is which mother board would support both of those and a USB 3.0 and SSD drive?
Also why the CPU heatsink? Doesn't the Intel i5 2500k have a heatsink on it?
