Can you fill the below questionnaire so i can suggest you a good config!

1. What is your MAX budget?
2. Are you open to alternate ideas/products giving similar better performance but offering more VFM/ sellers? If not- why?
3. What is the purpose of the computer? (Note: If you are planning to say multimedia, you will have to be more specific as all types of systems are capable of doing that)
4. Planning to overclock?
5. Which OS are you planning to use?
6. How much hard drive space is needed?
7. What resolution will the screen run at?
8. How would you rate your hardware knowledge from the count of 1-10? (1 being the lowest, 5 being you are somewhat in sync with the current performers and 10 being the highest)
9. Have you ever built a desktop before or will this be done by an assembler?
10. When are you planning to buy the system?
11. Are you one of the types looking out for "future proof" configurations?
12. Are there going to be any components that you don't want to include in this new rig? If yes, do mention.

you can't run AMD & NVidia cards together! CF is for AMD cards only & there is SLI which is for NVidia cards!

CAbinet is ANtec 900

Mobo: Asus Crosshair IV Formula
HSF: Thermalright Venomous X/Cogage Arrow
SMPS: Corsair TX650W
RAM: GSkill RipJaws 1333MHz CL7 4GB Kit

When you planning to buy? Also Asus CHIV comes on order & takes around 3weeks to get here!
