Help with a new rig.
Sherlock:
Yeah, that list is definitely beyond my budget. ^^ I tried hitachi, but not a single online retailer seems to have it over here, atleast internal. The closest I found was this and this. Amazon, India seems to have a 4TB external[former link], so that's scuppered. WD is expensive though, which is what is giving me second thoughts..
Also, Tatsujin, I'm thinking you've to make the wishlist as public on Newegg for others to view it.

On harddrives, I stopped trusting Seagate a long time ago. I used to get Samsung drives when I could, but Samsung's hard drive line was sold to Seagate, and now I have no idea if I get good ones or bad ones from Seagate. WD is more trustworthy than Seagate in my experience anyway. I haven't had a single WD drive die on me. But WD Blacks are pricey. Recently, I've been leaning to Hitachi for my drives. Got a 2TB Hitachi DeskStar drive for my desktop and it's going great so far.
Houkouonchi uses Hitachis all the time and not a single failure apparently.

Hitachi is also a good HDD along with WD.
I like your choice of motherboard and PSU. Thou the motherboard is much cheaper on newegg on my end.
As for the newegg wishlist, can you view this? Who was the person that was able to view their list on here? It was like two days ago and I was surprised.

Well, pricing, that's just Amazon and their constantly changing prices. I didnt buy mine on Amazon. Bought it for less at a UK retailer. Though remember UK has 20% VAT on all purchases.
And yes, I can view the newegg link. gives me 3 results, all of which i can view.

Haha yeah I worked my ass off for a whole summer to afford my desktop. Figured if I was going to get one, might as well get a powerful one. Worked lots of over time but well worth it though in my opinion :P

And dunno if its just me, it seems a newegg account is needed to see that wishlist

Click on the second link which is 600 USD. That's the current set up I built for Sherlock (and myself).
