Hello All!
I'm goin to US soon and I'd like to shop parts to build my PC at home (I'm from Brazil, and stuff here is almost five time as expensive).
It's been around 8 years since I built my last PC (which fried months ago), and I'm not a big fan of notebooks. Also, my fiance would like to play with some virtual machine in it.
What I'm looking for:
1st) I won't get a Graphic Card right now, since it can reach the price of all other parts, so I'm looking or a CPU with Integraed Graphics. Also, I'll get the case here in Brazil sice it's the least price sensitive item (and it's too big and heavy to gring back).
2nd) I'm expecting to buy 128GB ~ 500 GB SSD Drive, probably will get best COST-benefit from NewEgg or Best Buy once I arive there. I have quite a few Gigs back home in my Seagate`s SATA (I guess they are SATA-II), just need something to keep sure it'll boot quickly.
3rd) I do have a Zalman Cooler, all made of copper, which I think would be good to keep, if possible
!
4th) I'd like to get a good Intel i7 CPU. Not an Extreme Edition, but something edgy. Expecting something around U$300 or a bit more.
5th) I'm thinking about 32 GB of DDR3 Memory. I don't like the idea of OC it, because here's too hot and it's hard to keep things cool. I expect around U$300 here.
6th) I need a robust and expecially durable, motherboard to accomodate all that. As a side note, my display uses VGA and DVI inputs, so that's probably a limitation. Also, if there's any chance that the MOBO already have WiFi, it's also a nice feature. I don't expect to spend more tha US$150 here.
So that's that. Can you guys (experts!!) help me with any input? I'm completely lost besides what I told you.
Thanks!
Dom
