Build Update, Seeking Advice

Hey guys,

I made a thread here a few months ago asking for a great computer build that would fit within a $3,000 or less (preferably) budget and got a great list put together by one of the guys here. I haven't placed my order yet, as I've been wanting to do some research and save up for a system. The time to order is getting closer, and I'll probably be able to do so within a few months if everything goes right. Anyway, here is the original thread I posted with the original item list provided for me.

I've taken the liberty to update and add a few things to it, and surprisingly the price didn't jump up too much from what it originally was.

http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/Pu...Number=9484028

There is my new, updated build. I was wondering if you guys can find anything wrong with it, incompatible, etc or see anything that should be changed, removed, added, etc. Any and all feedback on this build would be appreciated! The intention of this build is a high-end gaming PC that would allow me to run graphic-intensive games like Crysis, Call of Duty 4, Company of Heroes, Sins of a Solar Empire, etc on all high without suffering in the FPS department.

Thanks in advance! You guys rock.

Re: Build Update, Seeking Advice

Hm. So out of the PSUs listed there, which one do you guys think would be the best to shoot for? Which brands should I avoid or lean towards?
