So I finally decided what computer parts to buy and put them together - Mickk - 09-11-2011

Thanks for the positive comments, can't wait to assemble it, thou I gave a promise to do it next weekend so I won't be distracted from school this week.
Yeah, I know what you mean.
My PC is not even a year old and despite the fact that it can support a i7 CPU, I'll have a hard time finding one to buy locally because the socket type has changed recently, from a 1156, to a 1155.
ONE BLOODY PIN!
Any and all 1156 socket i7 cpu's seem to have vanished for some reason.
If I want to go up to an i7 cpu any time soon, I'll have to buy one on-line and I hate doing that.

SAPPHIRE HD 6870
1GB DDR5 (4200MHz), AMD Radeon HD 6870 (900MHz)
Very Very wrong idea, 5870 is far better( check the charts in Toms if you dont believe me), ATI changed their line so the same "position" of the 5870 in the 6000 series is 6890 witch is too expensive to invest in, so I would wait for new ATI cards or buy Nvidia or look go for the best buy in this price range- new 5870- a bit hard to find but not impossible. The 6000 series are fail for the normal mainstream buyer but indeed 6890 is monster if you have the budget for it.
And dont buy Seagates- the WD are far better for the same money.
