Doing a build for my younger brother for his birthday so he can finally get in on some of that Battlefield 3 action.
Here's what I'm getting so far:
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula 890FX
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition
Zalman CNPS9900MAX-R CPU cooler [red LED]
G.SKILL Ripjaws DDR3 1600 4X4GB
Some old Lian Li full tower case I have laying around [been using it as a night stand :lol: ]
Debating the rest as we are not sure on which graphics card to get and this is some what a budget build but I am debating getting a AX series Corsair PSU with the sleeved cables and getting dual GPUs for CrossfireX. Pictures coming soon!

That's what the wishlist feature most online stores have is for. ;)
