    Hey guys,

    I need your help, I'm trying to build new gamin PC that lasts at least 3 years with high end games.this is my first time build and I need your advice:

    I'm thinking to get these components:-

    - Intel Core i7 860 Processor 2.80 GHz or Processor, Core i7 930 2.80GHz,which one is better?

    - ASUS P6X58D Premium - LGA 1366 - X58 - DDR3 - USB 3.0 SATA 6 Gb/s - ATX Motherboard. any idea about other good MB (cheaper) ?

    - (EVGA GeForce GTX480 ) OR( EVGA GeForce GTX480 Superclocked ).

    - Western Digital 1 TB SATA3 7200rpm.

    - Corsair TR3X6G1600C8D Dominator 6 GB 3 x 2 GB PC3-12800 1600MHz 240-Pin DDR3 Core i7 Memory Kit.


    I will order these main components from US (amazon) and I'll get the rest from my country ( case - sound card - DVD drive - power supply) .

    - Are these components are compatible with each other?
    - What is the best power supply ? ( # watt)
    - Do I need sound card or the mother board has one built in it?
    - case : mid tower case - full tower case? (# fan vents)
    - how many fans (the best ones) do I need to run this volcano :chk: ?

    If you have any idea to help me saving some bucks on this machine, that would be great.

    Thanks guys and sorry for the long post.
