APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: ASAP
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse, monitors (I'm getting a pair of 22" Acers), processor (getting that at the local microcenter)
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: newegg
PARTS PREFERENCES: None
OVERCLOCKING: Maybe
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: In the future, perhaps.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1680x1050
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: none
Here is what I have:
Case: Antec 902
HDD: WD Caviar Black 640 GB
GPU: SAPPHIRE Vapor-X 100269VXLE Radeon HD 4890 1GB
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power Supply
RAM: OCZ Gold 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Low Voltage Desktop Memory Model
MB: ASUS P6T SE LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard
Cooler: XIGMATEK Dark Knight-S1283V 120mm Long Life Bearing CPU Cooler
I was wondering if there are any parts that would have roughly equivalent performance for cheaper, such as going down a grade in RAM speed or something, and whether this would all work together nicely?
