    Will this sound card fit on those configs:


    -Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Soundcard - Retail Boxed

    Also, I'm in two minds about getting a Blu Ray. Think I might as I'm getting a 3D screen.

    Can you suggest a good wireless card? A USB one or internal?

    Think I'm nearly set.

    Also getting:

    Acer GD245HQ / 24 inch / 120Hz / 3D / Widescreen / LCD / Monitor

    Logitech G19 or G15 keyboard - not sure yet. Heard there are loads of problems with the G19.

    I have the XtremeGamer myself, and I like it a lot. For it to fit, we need to know what motherboard you've decided on. That'll tell us how many slots are available and where, etc.

    If you're getting the X58-UD3R, then yes, the bottom-most PCI slot will fit it, meaning you'll either need to get a PCI-Ex1 wireless card, or a USB one, as you won't have any PCI slots left.

    I really don't know which is better (USB or internal). I think it's your personal setup. With me, a card doesn't work so well because my router is quite far away, so it's blocked on two sides by a wall and the case (the router is to the side), so a USB one works for me, because I can just stick it in the side of my monitor, meaning it can pick up a lot more signal there.

    Well, as I know absolutely nothing I was letting u guys pick the configuration for me. The ones u posted look pretty solid-I hope. The main purpose of this rig is gaming. I'm kind of hoping u can tell me which parts and then I'll buy them.

    Things I want:

    Savage graphics
    Fast processor that I can overclock
    HDMI
    USB 3.0 & every other port

    Basically, pretty much everything you've built.

    A single 480 will max out everything now, and probably give you very good FPS in Crysis 2 as well. You can always pick up a second one if you want it.

    Your processor, with a good cooler, will get to 4.0GHz easy, and it's very quick.

    Graphics cards will come with HDMI adapters/cables/whatever.

    Motherboard doesn't have USB 3.0 or SATA 6Gb/s. You can get one if you want, but I don't see a whole lot of use for it. No single SSD uses all of SATA2's bandwidth, and get a firewire drive if you want something faster than USB 2.0. :P


    Edit: Apparently the X58A-UD3R has USB 3.0 and SATA 6Gb/s, if you want it.
