Hey there!
Finished ordering the components for my first independent build.
I just got to put it all together now. (So technically build is 50% complete).
I wanted to keep the price under $500 and build a pretty decent rig that could play even some of the latest games in pretty good quality.
(And I am not going to overclock.)
Now I know that I could saved a money here and there a bit (by probably buying a cheaper case, mobo,etc), but hey,
... I admit that I have an eye for aesthetics.
Anyway, here's what's in it.
Please let me know what you think, and even what you would have done differently...
(Note: everything new, except the noted)
1. CPU -------- Intel i5-4430 ----------------------------------- $100 (Staples)
2. Mobo ------- MSI H87-G43 ATX ----------------------------- $85 (Amazon)
3. GPU -------- PowerColor Radeon HD 7850 2Gb ------------- $100 (Newegg)
4. RAM -------- Corsair Vengence 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 --------- $80 (Amazon)
5. HDD -------- WD Caviar Blue 1TB 7200rpm ----------------- $50 (Tiger Direct)
6. Case -------- Corsair 600T White Edition --------------------- $60 (Craigslist but Like New)
7. Cooler ------ Corsair H100i ----------------------------------- $40 (Craigslist but Like New)
8. PSU --------- Corsair TX 650w ------------------------------- Free (Using my current one)
