Looking for input on the new PC I would like to purchase. I just copy pasted from the sticky for format (hope that's OK). So here we go.
Approximate Purchase Date: This Week
Budget Range: Around $750
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Movies, Web Browsing
Are you buying a monitor: No, currently have a 24" ASUS 1080P on the desk.
Do you need to buy OS: No.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, but open to others.
Location: Southwest Michigan.
Parts Preferences: AMD
Overclocking: Yes (Watercooling is in the future plans)
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Your Monitor Resolution: 1080p as stated above.
Additional Comments: Wanting to run an eyefinity setup so i would prefer a sapphire flex card. (unless someone can point me in the direction of an MST 2.0 hub).
And Most Importantly, Why Are You Upgrading: Wanting to play some games (Call of Duty comes to mind). Current pc is a self built 3ghz dual core athlon with onboard graphics and 2GB of ddr2 667. I think its time to upgrade.
Include a list of any parts you have already selected with descriptively labeled links for parts. Please do not post only links.
Antec case, love the fans
GIGABYTE GA-970A-UD3 motherboard
AMD FX-6200 processor.
Kingston HyperX Ram
Sapphire Radeon HD 7790
OCZ 750 Watt Modular power supply
Western Digital black 1TB Hard drive.
Edit: Forgot to mention i will be robbing my current PC's heatsink/fan combo. It only has a 70mm fan though, will it suffice?
