But I am, bros!
It's already bought, paid for, and all the bits are on the way as we speak, so feel free to tell me what I did wrong.
It's a high-end midrange setup, or the low end of the high-end type of thing. Know what I mean?
Here's what I got:
Corsair Carbide Series 400R Mid-Tower Case
Gigabyte X58A-UD3R ATX LGA1366
Intel Core i7 960 Quad Core Processor LGA1366 3.2GHZ
Corsair CMZ16GX3M4A1600C9 Vengeance 16GB 4X4GB
MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II OC 880MHZ 1GB
OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W ATX 20/24PIN SLI Ready Modular Cables
Noctua NH-U12P SE2 LGA1155/1156/1366 AM2/AM3 I7/I5/PHENOM Heatpipe Cooler
ASUS 24X Internal Super Multi DVD-RW
D-LINK DWA-556 Xtreme N Desktop Adapter 802.11B/G/N 3X3 PCI-E1 Adapter
OCZ Vertex 3 60GB 2.5IN SATA3 6Gbps Sandforce SF-2281 Solid State Disk Flash Drive SSD
Noctua NF-P12-1300 120MM Ultra Quiet Cooling Fan 1100-1300RPM 63-92M3/H 12.6-19.8DBA Molex
It came to about $1500 all told.
I've been using Apple computers for about six years, but just decided I'd like to try something new.
I was going for a powerful, but quiet build. I think I did everything correctly, but who knows. We'll see when it gets here.
There's so much stuff out there right now. I wasn't sure if I should have gone for a LGA2011 board, or wait for some of the upcoming graphic processors, but the bug bit me now so I jumped on it.
Anyway, it's been fun looking at stuff again, and I'm looking forward to putting it all in the case.
