So here is my 1 year old RIG
Cooler Master HAF 912 Mid Tower Case, Black ($59.99)
Corsair Air Series AF120 Quiet Edition High Airflow 120mm Fans, 2-Pack ($34.99)
Intel Core™ i5-4670K Processor, 3.40GHz w/ 6MB Cache ($269.99)
Asus Z87M-PLUS w/ Dual DDR3 1600, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, CrossFireX ($139.99)
Asus GTX650TiB DirectCU II OC Geforce GTX 650 Ti Boost 2GB PCI-E ($184.99)
G.SKILL RipjawsX Series 16GB PC3-14900 Dual Channel DDR3 Kit (2 x 8GB) ($129.99) Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 Power Supply ($69.99)
LG CH12 Super Multi Blue 12x Internal SATA Blu-ray Disc w/ Lightscribe ($69.99)
Total = $ 959.92 CAD
The CPU and motherboard combo was a great find for that price. Plus, I have never been in need of OCing since the RIG handled everythig I threw at it just fine. I will most likely build another RIG for my brother and was wondering what to look out for this time. The memory kind of throws me off, I have the G.SKILLS which run on 1866, but the motherboard shows DUAL DDR3 1600??? So are the RAMS wasted potential? Should I clock them at 1600 threw the bios.. or leave them at 1866??? Also... how viable is the double GPU set up? In order for me to fit a second GPU in, Id have to cut out the bottom plastic to allow some of the motherboard circuitry in. The motherboard is the only issue since it is a bit cramped. You think with how most good GPUs now take two slots, they would position them with more room -_-.
I think for a first time build, and price.. that is a pretty good build. But now that I look back, I can see that I can refine this build even more. ANyway, any and all input is welcome, and I wreally could use some guidance for future builds.. and any on the current one to make it even better.. since it is not OC'ed.. and it runs at a very low temp and all that good stuff so it has lots of room for OCing.
