Hey guys this is not my first build but I haven't built a new system in 5 years so i'm a little behind the times in terms of what is the best. I have already ordered some parts but I am still undecided in a lot of areas. I'm planning on using this rig for mostly gaming, so i'm looking for best performance in that area. I live in the usa, and I have around 1500 dollars to spend. I'm not really partial to anything i'm most concerned about performance. The two areas i'm the most picky in is the motherboard and computer case. I want a fairly large case with plenty of room for upgrades, and good airflow for when I overclock.
I already have a mitbushi diamond pro 930sb Crt so i'm set there
Proposed motherboard Msi neo2 fr
Ordered: Antec truepower 650 blue
Considering Antec p182 case
Ordered: E8400 core 2 duo
Ordered: Evga 8800 gts
Considering: Corsair ddr2 800 ram or g.skill that name keeps coming up
Any help or advice on what you guys would change would be appreciated. I don't need the fastest gaming rig on the planet but I want as much as I can get for around 1500 dollars.
