Finally going to build my own computer

I'm wanting something that can easily handle multiple servers (web, database, etc...) running concurrently, IDEs like Visual Studio and NetBeans, Virtualisation with VMWare (and possibly a VM server), regular stuff like web browsing, email clients, etc... and possibly gaming. I'm also looking to play with overclocking (hence the choice of CPU/motherboard) and have room for expansion in the future. I'm not as well-versed on the hardware side (especially in regard to gaming setups) as I am with software, so here's what I have so far. Suggestions are very much welcome. Case: [url=http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00001868]Thermaltake Armor Revo[/url] CPU: [url=http://ark.intel.com/products/65523]Core i7 3770K (3.5-3.9GHz)[/url] PSU: [url=http://store.antec.com/Product/HighCurrentPro/hcp-850/0-761345-23980-6.aspx]Antec HCP 850 watt[/url] RAM: 2x8GB DDR3 (at least) HDD: [url=http://www.wdc.com/global/products/specs/?driveID=792&language=1]1TB SATA WD1002FAEX[/url] Optical: [url=http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Computer/Computer+Drives/BDC-207DBK]Pioneer combo BR/DVD/CD drive[/url] Video Card: [url=http://www.galaxytechus.com/usa/productview.aspx?id=206]GeForce GTX670[/url] Motherboard: [url=http://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/motherboards/desktop-motherboards/desktop-board-dz77re-75k.html]Intel SZ77RE-75K Extreme Series[/url] Anything else (monitor, keyboard, software, etc...) I already have or can get without any hassles. No recommendations for pre-built computers though; I want to get my hands dirty.

  • Good luck. I would totally build myself a big ol' gaming monster, much like several of my friends have, if not for the sudden headache I get when I see the prices of what they call a "cheap build."
