Hey guys I could really use some help with my new rig that I am going to build.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: It will probably be between 1 and 6 weeks from now.
BUDGET RANGE: Roughly $1000 USD, but I live in New Zealand (My budget is $1500 NZD).
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, school work/projects, watching movies, surfing the internet and hopefully T.V.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: No OS or monitor.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: computerstore.co.nz, urcomputer.co.nz, pcpacific.net, playtech.co.nz. Mainly any New Zealand site as I do not want to import.
OVERCLOCKING: I doubt that I will be overclocking SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Not now - maybe if I upgrade graphics card.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: So far I have got:
Case - Will this have enough room for my graphics card (HD 5850)
Optical drive
Processor
Graphics card - Is this the same as a sapphire HD 5850
HDD - will this be big enough for my games/movies and school work
MoBo - not 100% sure if this will work with everything
R.A.M. - is this very effective?
So can you guys please check to see if this is all compatible and what PSU will I need? This one?
Thanks guys!
