So far i bought a antec eleven hundred case for $94 plus a $50 rebate.
MSI Z77 mpower mobo for $79. I know this is the last years version, but what do you guys think about the mobo? Is there a better or cheaper mobo that you guys can recommend?
PSU, an Antec HCG-850m 80plus bronze for $58. Again anything else better at that price (brand)? Is the PSU an overkill? I got it cause it's a good deal but i dont want my power bill to go crazy either.
Memory i bought the Patriot viper 3 black extreme 8gb@2400mh. This is was on sale for $82 plus a $12 rebate. Also anything you guys can suggest something better?
All the items above are the rebated price. Initially I plan on buying most if not all my pc products on Amazon because i had about a little over 1k in gift cards. I didn't want to buy it at frys, but the deal seemed good. I tried searching on amazon that had those items for sale but most if not all were asking full price. I could of saved my money but i figure i could use most of the gift cards on other pc components.
So far i'll need a monitor (larger than 24"), an ssd (256gb or more), a decent vid card, intel cpu. Maybe a blueray drive.
Also, a aftermarket CPU cooler. I was thinking of water cooled version. And anything else you guys can suggest.
I'm not a huge gamer so i wont need a high end vid card.
I wanted to go with amd cause it's cheaper, but since the mobo was a good deal i figured why not go for an intel. But if there is something better for the buck on amazon for a amd cpu and mobo, i'm still open minded about either one of them.
I'm not a fanboy for either amd or intel. Personally i prefer something that will last and have room to grow (sort of speak).
I'm open for either amd or intel, but i would like your opinions before i weigh my options.
Thanks.
Oh, as for windows, should i get win7 or 8.1 pro?
