Looking for opinions on potential PC

[mOeeOm]

Hello, this computer will be mainly used for gaming, my brother and I are going with a budget of $2k. Will be mainly using this website: www.ncix.com good experience with their customer service, bought a lot of stuff from them, etc. Looking for opinions from other Canadian buyers.

Anyways...

Processor: Intel Core i7 920 ($329.98)

Thanks for opinions.

hi,

A few reason why you should wait
- New processors by intel should be out soon
- New video cards should be out soon.

A few tips
VIDEO CARD : SLI or crossfire is A WASTE OF MONEY, unless you have a 30 inches screen.
RAM : I'd get Corsair instead
MONITOR: If you go with those HD monitor, maybe a BENQ would be better than Acer...

Here are some things to consider/change:
$85
Cooler Master 690 case. I like it better than the Antec 900, mainly because I've used them and they are cheaper than the Antec 900
$235 - $15 MIR = $220!!
AMD 4890 1gb GPU. I think a single card for now would make more sense, especially since the newer GPU's should be out within 30-60 days.
$100
1 TB WD Caviar Black HD. I think your better off getting a bigger HD and a bit faster one. You'll notice this more than the bigger GPU for now
