Hey, some days ago i posted a previous thread "Upgrading my Computer" where i got the conclusion that i were to just get a whole new computer so this time im going to build my first pc and not buy a pc like my previous one...the other thread is dead now and the title i guess is wrong now lol.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: I'll be likely collecting parts once ive done my exams which end at the start of june..
BUDGET RANGE: i know of rebates but don't really know how to carry them out. My budget therefore be hovering about£1,250 ($1900) before rebates.
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Want to watch 1080p movies... , i tend to be a person who has lots of internet tabs up at same two about 15-20. I have Dual monitors but my old one is about 6 years old so not really looking to game on at that too. And ive only recently heard about Folding@Home which sounds interesting.. ( also tend to download bittorrents)
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: Monitors, keyboard, mouse(not sure if a high quality gaming one is really needed) , I have a headset but i tend to not bother with it and just use lousy monitor stock speakers.. So not sure what i want to od with that. And i don't know if getting windows 7 is going to be a problem for me. I also have a Blu Ray drive so im not looking to buy a drive.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: I Don't mind.. wherever it is UK and is cheapest ;D
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: Scotland
PARTS PREFERENCES:
CPU : I think i7 920 or 930 or i5 750 if it's really recommended i set for lower but i heard a problem about bandwidth of the 1156 mobos ect and don't think it'd sut a 5970.
Mobo : Whatever is decent and ofcourse is compatible with rest of my build.
Ram : 6Gb tri-way with whatever frequency is at the most noticebly in games. My general thought was 1600Mhz
Graphics Card : Im thinking of an HD5970
Hsf : Something which will let me overclock the cpu to about 4Ghz stable. Possibly http://www.lambda-tek.com/componentshop/index.pl?origin=gbase23.9&prodID=B279710 ?
Case : Haff 922 or Haff 932 unless there is something better but i like the looks of it and it's supposed to be one of the best cases there is.
Hardrive : I already have a 1tb harddrive but ive been recommended to buy a new one which operates faster.
PSU : Anything which is good quality and that will keep this build stable and with headroom for ever there was the need to upgrade i doubt so though
OVERCLOCKING: Yes i will be seeing as ill be getting an 920 or 930 or i5 750 if it was really recommended i go for that cpu.
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: I doubt ill need to for 3 or 4 years and even then i'd probably just buy a new card.
MONITOR RESOLUTION: My new main monitor is 1920x1080 whereas my old monitor is a standard 1280x1024.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: This will be my first build and im wanting to get a decent spacious case so i can upgrade on things in the future if i want , planning to keep ofr many years. Also so it'll be as easy for me as it can for me to build it in first place xD. I also don't see the appeal of getting the new AMD hexacores also since i don't have any productivity uses so far, and even then an i7 does perfect it seems in reviews. Also don't know if this si too much of a luxury but i'd like it to be averagely quiet...
Anyones feedback on this would be awesome, Thank you
