Hello,
This build is for a friend, he'll be using it mostly for Solidworks plus some gaming. We're in Canada by the way so he checked on Newegg.ca. He'd like to know if we could lower cost without sacrificing too much performance. Here are the parts he picked:
Tower: Antec Nine Hundred http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811129021
Mobo: Asus Z87 Pro http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131979
CPU: i5-4670K http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116899
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2x8GB http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233367
PSU: Corsair TX-650 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005
GPU: Asus GeForce GTX-760 2GB http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121775
SSD: Samsung 840 250GB http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147189
HDD: WD Black 1TB http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822136533
Optical Drive: http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827135204
Mobo: He told me he really likes Asus so let's stay in the family. I'm just not sure he needs all the features of the Pro though? Is there another one in the Asus line-up that costs less?
CPU: Don't think he's going to overclock but I'll ask him again just to be sure. If he doesn't, should he go with a i5-4570?
Memory: Any other memory in the same price range you'd recommend instead?
PSU: I have a TX-650v2 myself and I know it's an excellent unit. However, I just don't like to have all the unused cables running around, should he go with a modular one?
GPU: Don't think he made a bad choice there!
SSD: My real challenge is to convince him to wait for the 840 Evo, lol! But seriously if he can't wait, any other one you'd recommend?
Thanks in advance for the replies!
