Hi folks, I'm about to build a new semi-budget gaming PC... These are the parts I've narrowed it down to, but I'm fully open to any and all suggestions. I'm linking everything from NewEgg, but I'm not necessarily buying everything from them (I have to pay tax unfortunately!)....
My grand TOTAL, after rebates and all, comes out to: $934
If I make any changes, I'd probably like to stay somewhat in this price range. Also, any brand/model suggestions for a 22" LCD monitor?
[Case = Antec Nine Hundred - $90] I already bought this actually at the local store.
[Processor = Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 - $276]
The above = $366.... Then the following I'd buy from NewEgg:
[CD/DVD = LG 22X DVDR Burner]
[Hard Drive = WD Caviar WD6401AALS, 640GB, 7200RPM, 32MB Cache]
[Graphics Card = EVGA GeForce GTX 260 896MB]
[Power Supply = PC Power & Cooling 610W]
[Memory = OCZ Reaper HPC, 4GB, DDR2 1066]
[Motherboard = Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P]
The above comes out to $658 for me.... So $658 + $366 = $1024, then $934 after mail-in rebates.
Ok so I think that's everything, any suggestions? And for a 22" monitor? Thanks a lot in advance!
