PC Mag Build It: A Core i7 Desktop

The thing I love about the PC Mag “Build It” series of articles is that they always do an excellent job of walking you through the entire process from start to finish. This particular Build It is close to my heart, because it’s all about building a desktop based on Intel’s new Core i7 processor technology, which was initially released late last year (the Nehalem chips), and new revisions (the Lynnfield chips) of the chips were recently introduced just a few weeks ago.

Now that the i7 is fully Intel’s primary desktop processor platform, it’s time to go ahead and build the computer you’ve been waiting to build with an i7 under the hood. The Nehalem chips are still the high-end enthusiast chips, and the new Lynnfield chips are designed for more everyday consumer use. Now that you have a good array to choose from, PC Mag has the rundown on how to put together your shiny new computer using some of Intel’s hottest technology.

There’s a good run-down of suggest components there, but one thing’s for sure: follow their instructions and you’ll have a pretty awesome rig when you’re all finished.
