APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE:
Slowly buying the parts, hoping to have everything by end of Nov. or begining Dec.
BUDGET RANGE:
Not more than $2200 CND
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT:
Gaming -> some video & photo editing -> basic stuff (web surfing, email, etc..)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED:
Keyboard, Mouse, Speakers, Win7 (will buy locally), Case (Antec 1200 + 2 Antec TriCool 120mm fans),
Monitor Acer H223H, Hard disk WD 640GB Caviar Black (maybe a 2nd in raid 0 or an SSD for the OS and primary games?),
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS:
newegg.ca, local (microbytes.com), ncix.ca, tigerdirect.ca
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN:
Canada
PARTS PREFERENCES:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920 ($310)
HEATSINK: Hyper N 520 ($53)
or
HEATSINK: Thermalright Ultra 120 Extreme ($76)
PSU: CORSAIR CMPSU-850HX ($180)
MOBO: Undecided, leaning towards option A for eventual OC'ing and maybe buying the Asus OC station also.
A) ASUS Rampage II ($420)
or
B) ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 ($340)
RAM: Not sure which one to get. I know I want 6B and I've read that Corsair Dominator (anywhere between $225 and $250ish) series are one of the better ones out there, so any help would be appreciated!
OPTICAL DRIVE: PLEXTOR Black ($50)
GPU: Radeon 5870 ($410)
Total price: $1988
OVERCLOCKING:
Yes, once I do lots of reading and research since I'm a beginner at OC.
CROSSFIRE/SLI: Yes eventually maybe after x-mas
MONITOR RESOLUTION:
1920x1200 (might buy a second monitor in the new year)
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
I think that's about all I need. I'll probably also get a 2nd or 3rd HDD for storage in the 1TB area. It's been 7-8 years since I've built my own system, so if I'm missing anything, please feel free to point out my noobness
Merci/Thanks in advance!
