Here is what I've got in mind atm:

Processor:

Intel Core i7 930

Motherboard:

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 Motherboard Rev2

Case:
CoolerMaster HAF 932 Case

Ram:
G.Skill F3-12800CL9T-6GBNQ (3x2GB) DDR3

Power Supply:

Corsair HX-850 Power Supply

Graphics, Hard drive, monitors, i wont be upgrading. just mainly focusing on ram, cpu, motherboard mainly,

Worthless :

I recommend the Antec Skeleton as your new case, I hear it has excellent ~~cooling~~ dust-attracting capabilities.

m1k3ypwns :

coolermaster CM 690 II for mid tower case, if overclocking, look at the ud5, and ram, cosair dominator 6b kit $220 or so, the NB on the ud3r gets very hot quick google shows its a common problem

Worthless :

Above sounds good. Except i'd go with a full tower case such as the Antec Dark Fleet DF-85 (pretty much the 1200 with fan filters that can be removed without undoing 24+ screws), or one of the Lian Li full tower cases.

m1k3ypwns :

tbh, full tower cases are intended to sit on the floor, unless you have an abnormally large desk, im contemplating changing back to a mid tower case atm, also one not as bright, or one that allows me to turn all the LED's off.

m1k3ypwns :

dont forget a quality PSU aswell, corsair HX750 would be good, but a HX850 will allow plenty of head room for future expansion.

Thommo :

I wish Fractal Design had been around when I built my last computer since their case is pretty much exactly what I was after.

Kaiden :

Power supply i will most likely upgrade aswell while at it,
I would like as many to throw out as many good ideas as they can out that way i can do some research and should have a nice sexy rig by next ravage :D

lolcats :

i knw what case u should get

a fileing cabnet like dalek :P

Derp :

or a remote control case on wheels :P

Bluey :

I've read that Consair have the best PSUs because they retag another brand which is known for quality. I'll be upgrading my psu to a consair eventually

Worthless :

@10 Good, but not the best.
@11 Not bad, go tri channel if budget permits.

#13

Bluey :

what would be a better best psu if thats the case?

#14

m1k3ypwns :

mark's an antec psu fanboy, im considering upgrading to an antec 850w psu in the near future

#15

Worthless :

Silverstone. Any non-generic PSU is good and will do the job though.

#16

Dalek :

I agree with the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 as it has been given damn good reviews and a nice board layout as well.

A couple of idea's on the ram - G.Skill Trident 6GB (3x2GB) PC3 16000 (2000MHz) DDR3 Triple Channel RAM or Mushkin Ridgeback 6GB (3x2GB) PC3-12800 (1600MHz) DDR3 Triple Channel RAM or Mushkin Redline 6GB (3x2GB) PC3-12800 (1600MHz) DDR3 Triple Channel RAM.

Bluey :

@Worthless. I'm buying a psu for my storage server, which I dont want one to just do the job, I want one that has the build quality considering the most common thing to fail is the psu.

#18

Dalek :

Power supply idea's start with the Corsair HX-850Power Supply as a single rail idea, OCZ Z Series 850W Modular or the quad 12v idea Antec TruePower Quattro 1000W TPQ-1000. Enermax also have damn sweet power supplies, but not cheap :(

Kath :
