Waiting for Goku Advice

[Chaff]

Budget:
$2,500 (flexible – could go another thousand)
...and spending LESS is no problem.

Location:
San Diego, CA

Computer Purpose:
Planetside2 & various MMOG, MS Office, Pinnacle Video Editing, Photoshop, web, music,…

Parts:
Complete build

Monitor/Resolution:
Looking at Planar 27” PX2710 / 1920X1080
(have 2 nice 24” Samsung already)

OS:
Need W7, 64bit
(ran XP on old machine)

MB needs:
USB 3.0/Sata 6.0 Gb/s
SLI / Firewire option would be nice
OC compatability w/2500K or 2600K (have my eyes on: ASUS P8P67-M PRO)

SSD:
Corsair 128GB SSD
(Model: Performance 3 Series CSSD-P3128GB2) (SATA 6Gbps)

OC:
YES. Both CPU & GPU
...the MUSHKIN Enhanced Redline I referenced over on that other thread was for 8GB at 1600 MHz. I just like that brand - dunno what's actually the best. Was 7-8-7-24. $95 seemed good for that much Mushkin.

Timeline:
Flexible / would like machine for Beta / best to wait until October/November

NOTE:
Some overkill on MB or video card(s) is fine – soon, I may want to run multiple monitors, SLI,….

The price and 7ms response time on the Dell U2711 put me off. The super-high resolution is impressive.
Seems more optimum for graphics than gaming.
