Hey guys
Back in November I started a post were I asked your help for building a new pc for both 3D movies thrue HTPC and usefull for my work too.
I ended up assembling these parts with my good friend David :
1- NZXT Phantom 410 ATX Steel Computer Case 3X5.25 6X3.5 3XUSB3.0 Audio and Mic Input - WHT&BLU 110,23 $
2- Corsair TX650 V2 650W ATX 12V Single Rail 60A 24PIN ATX Power Supply Active PFC 80PLUS Bronze 67,14 $
3- Intel Core i5 3570K Unlocked Quad Core Processor LGA1155 3.4GHZ Ivy Bridge 6MB Retail 251,44 $
4- ASRock Z77 EXTREME4 ATX LGA1155 DDR3 2PCI-E16 2PCI-E1 2PCI SATA3 DVI HDMI USB3.0 Motherboard 90,43 $
5- OCZ Agility 3 120GB 2.5in SATA3 SandForce SF-2281 SSD Solid State Disk Flash Drive 94,49 $
6- ASUS Radeon HD 7770 V2 DirectCU 1020MHZ 1GB 4.6GHZ GDDR5 2xDVI HDMI DisplayPort PCI-E Video Card 97,07 $
7- ASUS Xonar DS 7.1 Channel PCI Sound Card 24BIT DTS SPDIF w/ Low Profile Bracket 47,72 $
8- ASUS BW-12B1ST Blu-Ray Writer 12X BD-R 16X DVD+R SATA Black Retail 55,57 $
9- Corsair XMS3 CMX16GX3M2A1600C11 16GB 2X8GB DDR3-1600 CL11-11-11-30 1.5V Dual Channel Memory Kit 55,07$
10-WINDOWS 8 PRO EDITION 64Bits 80,00$
Total 949,17$
Just five months later, here are the updates or facts :
1- I did not received 50% of the remittances dues by the manufacturer by mail. Many are just 5$ or 10$ pre-paid carton cards by American Express witch I have no clue where to spend them. Maybe at ncix.com....again.
2-I found out my needs are for a much more stronger pc. I watch many movies from a streaming web site witch I pay 9,99$ per month but it freeze the movie and the sound if too much software are open at the same time. Believe me only one IE page is enough to get quality. Open another software like Excel or Word and it starts freezing.
I think is already the time for me to upgrade some parts. First, I should bought an I7 in the first place. Two, my SSD is two small. Third, my HD7770 graphic card is so so and so is my memory. I have often 10 Excel pages opened at the same times and it crashed the pc.
Do you have good upgrades for me?
Thanks
