It looks like a lot of people are having problems with that OCZ PSU, not to mention it's way overkill. I'd suggest this one, where 91% of people gave it 4 or 5 stars, vs only 61% for your OCZ 1250W (and 23% only gave it 1 star, suggesting dead on arrival/unit failure or worse(!))

[editline]17th July 2012[/editline] It also looks like quite a few people were having issues with the patriot RAM you picked as well, I'd suggest this corsair kit instead (plus it's $15 less and the same speed, and also normal height so it'll fit under your CPU cooler) [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233280[/url]
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;36814519]Buy a maxed out Mac pro, its simply the bestest and most powerfulest comptuer you can bye.[/QUOTE] The section is called PC Building for a reason. Mac Pros are overpriced (but not totally pieces of crap unlike Alienware) compared to building. The current build so far still looks good to me, but OP, do you happen to have a Win7 install disk somewhere? Otherwise, you'll need to factor that in too.
Thread about building a gaming PC, CPU the OP wants to get is an i7. Come on guys, you know he's either trolling or very dumb.

Hopefully he'll let me install that on there.
[QUOTE=Amiga OS;36816295]of course I'm serious, are you poor or soemthing?[/QUOTE] No, it's just you are stupid enough to reccomend a mac to someone who wants the PC for GAMES Something with macs suck immensly at. [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] Not only that, a dual socket 2011 build will absolutely ANNIHILATE a maxed out mac pro in every way imaginable. [editline]18th July 2012[/editline] And to add to that, doesn't a maxed out mac pro cost as much as a new car?
OP, do you have all the information you need now?
[QUOTE=cosmic duck;36817607]OP, do you have all the information you need now?[/QUOTE] I suppose so. If not, I'll open another thread. Thanks again to all the people who actually contributed something helpful.
