Optical Drive

In the works of building a very fast gaming computer. I've never built one and chose these out of some research, any clues/tips? I know there are a few, but I just want some opinions. Any advice will be greatly appreciated!


ETA: Thank you so much for the replies. I've changed the video card to the GTX 680 like you've recommended.



ETA2 You know this video card HERE is never in stock...any suggestions on where I can get it?

that looks nice. If you plan on doing crossfire or sli than you might want to get a 1000+ psu. If not, that looks great and I wish I would have waited and spent that kind of money on it

why the frick are you spending 180 on a case and then not even getting an SSD?

and why are you buying a workstation graphics card?

Do you need to connect to remote end users?


If not then this isn't the graphics card for you.

You have almost the same hardwares I have. Have the same RAM except it's red. Power supply, I went with Seasonic and for SSD I went with Crucial M4 (cheap and reliable). My video card is XFX hd 6950. Motherboard is MSI miltary class III. I don't trust Asus, Gigabyte etc...too many DOA.
