    hi friends,

    I have already completed the halfway round building i7 rig. Now I am facing some difficulty and getting confused with this.
    I need your help to finish with the remaining parts....kindly help to complete building this i7 rig....
    Here is what I have so far:
    Intel i7 920 ($190.25)
    Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R motherboard ($125.33)
    EVGA GTX 260 (216 core) video card ($132.38)
    OCZ 6GB (3x2) DDR3 PC3-12800 1600MHz Platinum XTC Kit ($55.80)
    Total = ~$504

    You can easily build an entire core i7 system for 1250 or under that.
    However, I would upgrade the ram and GPU though, go with at least a gtx 260 or 4870 1gb card,
    upgrade the ram to 1333mhz or 1600mhz, this will provide processing much faster....

    I think you dont really need the use of over 3gb unless you implement high level photoshop features or something.
    Also the more RAM you use,the more stress it puts on the IMC.
    3gb is the sweetspot, and will Overclock more.
    This will easily go around $1700 and I recommend you for improved performance..
