Re: Build needs help!
Well first thig I will say is skip the raptor hard drive. Total waste of money. 170$ for only 150 gigs of storage, thats more then a dollar a gig. Plus you will never notice the speed difference between a 10000 and a 7200 rpm drive. Just a get a regular sata drive.
now as for the rest of your parts. motherboard 179 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...078&CatId=3495 vga 190 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...922&CatId=3670 power supply 110 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16817139005 Thats 479$ Now if you skip that western digital raptor wich you should , you will more money for a better case which a rig like this will need. I recommend the thermaltake armor or antec 900 antec 900 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...pk=antec%2b900 thermaltake armor ( theres a few different chocices ) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...rmaltake+armor

Re: Build needs help!
You will also need a proper cooler for that quad core and not the stock intel one. The zalman 9700's are very good.
