Nice set up! What motherboard were you thinking of? Thought I'd ask, were you planning on getting more than one RAM stick? I'd assume you were but definitely suggest it if you weren't! 4GB isn't really enough, especially if you model.

RE: My new computer

Looks good! You have some excellent choices. =D

But you might consider saving a few bucks by switching to an i5 and a GTX680. Unless money isn't an object/you need the power...so in that case, go for it.

I'm not really sure, I'm still looking for some of the smaller details. And of course I'm using multiple ram sticks Smile

RE: My new computer

Although the RAM test you show is relatively new, the one you're going for could be better. There are brands out there that have CAS latency of 9 that go faster than 1600mhz, smaller heat spreaders, and probably even cost about the same.

Could you tell me what brands?

Updated the list Smile Added a MOBO too.
Also, 2 times 4gb RAM is enough, right?

RE: My new computer

$567 for a CPU? Wow, you're rich. I've planned to use approximately the same amount of money for buying a new cpu, mobo and ram.
