After some discussions, changes have been carried out:

MoBo: Asus P8P67-M PRO
Fan: Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B + Scythe Gentle Typhoon 120x120mm 1450rpm
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1333 PC3-10666 8GB 2x4GB CL7
Secondary HD: WD Caviar Black 2TB SATA2 MAESTRO
Main HD: G.Skill Phoenix Pro SSD 120GB
Box: Antec P193

I\'ve already purchased a screen: HP ZR24w LCD 24" S-IPS. It\'s not the best out there, but price/quality is outstanding.

Nice build... I was going to say go with 6950 and flash it to a 6970, but there are no guarantees with something like that.  A friend of mine just built a system very similar to the one you have listed, it\'s very fast.

I was also going to say get the g500 over the mx518.  I own the 518 and it\'s a fine mouse, but the g500 seems like a more substantial one.

I\'m a huge g.skill fan myself, so props for going with them for your ram and SSD.  That Antec twelve hundred is a pretty huge case, the nine hundred not enough room?  Or you just wanna make sure you have room for future?

Corsair PSU\'s are really nice as well... I have the 550 in my core 2 build i\'ve had for the past 3 years or so.. very quiet.

Post some pics when you get things setup, I take it you didn\'t get the "K" version of the 2600... not a fan of overclocking?

Hehehe thank you for your comments man. Yes, I think the changes improved the overall configuration of the system.

Yes, regarding the case I want to have space, lot of it. I suffered the pain of having a tiny case in my last PC and it was terrible to install or change anything. That wont happen again. Besides, this Antec has a really good cooling system.

You got it, i\'m not a fan of overcloking. Never been, actually. However, I dont really know if I should purchase the K version just in case, as price difference is little...

Pics as soon as I receive the tower (it is not ordered yet). I will receive tomorrow the screen (HP ZR24w LCD 24" S-IPS). I can upload some pictures as soon as I try it out because they say it\'s a great monitor.

Mike
