Thumbs Up! Upgrade part 2 of 2
Ok, hopefully within the next 2 months (pending the rubber stamp of the wifey), I'll be putting part 2 of 2 of my upgrade plan into effect *Dr. Evil style laugh*.

As this one will need to last around 3 years I'm looking at the following.

Asus P7P55D-E Pro
G.Skill Ripjaws 4GB kit DDR3-1600 CL7-7-7-24
XFX HD-585X-ZNFV Radeon HD 5850 1GB
Intel i5 750 Lynnfield

No need for DVD-RW, this will be transferred from my exisiting. I also already have 2 Seagate 7200.11/12 which are working just dandy.

Any comments?

Anyone that wants to pay less than retail for legally-owned games or install an operating system :P

Looks like a good selection of components to me.

Usually Steam is cheaper than stores here... and Windows can be installed from a USB drive


Anyway, looking forward to seeing/hearing more about the build.

You can also pick up an external DVDRW drive for $20.00.
