Im looking to spend about 1k-1200 dollars on a new computer to build. I will be using it primarily for gaming and to keep it as future proof as possible with the ability to upgrade it. Here is what i have so far:
This barebones from Tigerdirect: Asus P6T X58 Barebone Kit - Socket LGA1366, Intel Core i7 920, 12GB OCZ Gold DDR3-1600, 1.5TB SATA2, Clear Side ATX Mid-Tower, 650W
This graphics card to go with the barebones:
XFX GeForce GTX 260 Video Card - 896MB GDDR3, PCI Express 2.0 x16, SLI Ready, (Dual Link) Dual DVI, HDTV, FREE Far Cry 2
This Optical drive:
Sony DRU-V200S/BR DVD Rewritable Drive SATA - 20x DVD±R, 8x DVD+RW, 6x DVD-RW, 8x DVD+R DL, 12x DVD-R DL, 12x DVD-RAM, 16x DVD-ROM, 48x CD-R, 32x CD-RW, 48x CD-ROM Black
And lastly because of the terrible reviews of the 1.5 seagate baracuda hard drive, to prevent it crashing and dying, im going to get the Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS Hard Drive - 1TB, 7200, 32MB, SATA-300, OEM
Is this a good decision, if not, what should i replace/add?
Thanks.
