Just wanting to get opinions on what parts are a good bang for the buck. Parts I need are all of the parts to build the tower including the case so: Case, Motherboard, HDD, DVD Drive, Video Cards (yes plural), Processor, CPU Cooling (whether it's a crazy good fan or liquid cooling), Power Supply and RAM.
I once put a nice little list together through a bit of research and came up with a rig with specs something along the lines of Quad Core 2.6Ghz, 16GB 1066 DDR3 RAM, 10k RPM Velociraptor HD, 1500W Power Supply and 4 - 1GB EVGA Video Cards for right around $1300 with a cool case with the side window and blue LEDs and a CPU Fan that looked like saw blades and had blue LEDs as well. I don't remember the name of any of the parts. I'm leaving that up to you guys haha.
As I said, I'm looking for something as close to $1000 as possible if not less with as crazy as the specs can get. Thanks.
