Hey all,

I'm currently looking at purchasing a new computer but i don't know much about the hardware itself and compatibility etc.

This is what i'm looking at...

Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Motherboard Rev2 - http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14844

Currently this build is costing about $1700 without an OS, I'm looking at about $1900 - $2000 max.

Any advice would be appreciated, please no unnecessary comments as I am only looking for helpful advice

Thanks,

i would go the Samsung 1tb harddirve coz way cheaper and could possibly get 2?

dont like case
get 6870 instead of gtx460
why do you need a blu ray player rofl?
change the hdd to samsung f3 1tb

you have a PM

Thanks Karma and Andii/Wasson.

Didn't notice the cheap samsung HDDs until you pointed them out, So i'll definantly change that.

Andii, is there a big difference between the gtx460 and the ATI 6870 or is it mainly personal preference?
and with the DVD/Blu-ray player, I don't have one a Blu-ray player at home so for an extra $20 i thought i'd go for it

Get this Blu-ray:
