Have seen a few of you guys taking about building your own system. Can you point me towards some good resources on starting your first build? Best sites for what to do and sites for best pricing on the components would be really appreciated.

What do you want it for?

phobicsquirrel · February 2012

Oh and the price range you want? Also do you have a monitor already?

mostly media server, but want to be decently gameable.

Well you would want to buy most everything all at once so that YOU can build it and then see if anything is not working.

Thanks man! You can put 3 video cards on that motherboard and SLI them. With those cards I mentioned all have cuda GPU's. Each Cuda GPU is 10x to 128x faster than the internal core processor if its using a program that utilizes the GPU.

I agree, its best to get everything at once. It's a money hit, but stuff gets outdated quickly and you want to make sure everything works in your rig. If there is a problem you can return them. Warranty's are very short with parts.

Are you going to overclock that sandy? I hear they are really good at it. I got an i7 960 that I overclocked to 4.4 which I'm happy with.

I've built two computers now and have bought a vast majority of the components from newegg. They seem to have competitive prices and an easy RMA process. I've only had to send one thing back and was surprised at how easy it was. Their shipping is extremely fast as well.
