Hey guys, will be building my first computer in the next month or two. Here is the part list I have put together (choosing mostly Amazon because I have Prime, and with TurboTax I get an extra 10% free money if I load my federal refund onto an Amazon gift card). http://pcpartpicker.com/user/skaboss/saved/3qrz
AMD A10-5800K 3.8GHz Quad-Core $104.99
Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO 82.9 CFM Sleeve Bearing $33.99
Gigabyte GA-F2A88XN-WIFI Mini ITX FM2+ $99.00
G.Skill Ares Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 $79.99
Samsung 840 EVO 250GB 2.5" SSD $169.99
Western Digital Black Series 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM $196.99
Cooler Master N200 MicroATX Mid Tower $50.88
Corsair 430W ATX12V $49.99
Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer $25.99
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional SP1 (64-bit) (Purchased) $0.00
Asus VE248Q 24.0" $188.99
Logitech MK320 w/Optical Mouse $24.99
Total: $1,025.79
The goal is to keep it around $1k, but I'm ok with going over by about $50 if needs be.
What are your thoughts?
To answer the basic questions:
1) What will you be doing with this PC?
Web browsing, watching movies, very light gaming (Diablo 2, Counter-Strike, Starcraft 1, etc.). Will also need to store all home media for the next 4-5 years. I want to keep it at or above 3TB HDD space. Would also like an SSD to keep programs running quickly. My wife hates slow PCs.
2) What's your budget?
~$1,000
3) Which country do you live in? If the U.S, please tell us the state and city if possible.
US, Utah
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget?
CPU, Mobo, RAM, SSD/HDD, heatsink, PSU, case, ODD, Monitor, mouse, keyboard. Planning on using integrated graphics, since the games I'm running are so old.
5) What parts will you be reusing?
None
6) Will you be overclocking?
Nope
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? What size is it?
24" 1080p
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC?
March/April
9) What features do you need in a motherboard?
Wi-fi
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license?
Yes, Win7 Pro x64
11) Anything else?
Want to keep it relatively SFF, with a good-looking case.
