So as of the past month or so I've been attempting to put together parts for a PC build, but recently I've had the opportunity to buy one, but have been seriously wondering if it would be worth it.
Here are the specs.
I7-920 2.66 ghz cpu
12GB of Corsair Dominator RAM, clocked at DDR3 1600
Asus P6T Deluxe V2 motherboard
Samsung 1TB hard drive used as storage
OCVZ vertex 3 120GB SSD
Coolermaster V8 Cooler
Lightscribe DVD-RW drive
Corsair HX750 modular power supply
Hauppauge WinTV-HVR 1850 Cable Card
It doesn't have a video card, but I have a Radeon HD 7470 that would work well enough to do basic stuff until I bought another one.
My main worry is the CPU and Mobo, as from what I've seen they aren't just absolutely fantastic. I also might be able to buy it for $300 without the Mobo and CPU, which I would then replace with an AMD FX-6300 and an Asus M5a97. What do y'all think?
Thanks,
Mason
