I am moving to a new apartment so I wanted to get a new computer too. My budget is around $750 and this is what I got so far.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Next month
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Web browsing, heavy multitasking, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, some gaming.
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: keyboard, mouse.
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: Newegg or Anything trustworthy.
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: US
OVERCLOCKING: No
SLI OR CROSSFIRE: Maybe in the future
My budget is around $750 and this is what I got so far.
New Parts:
- Intel Core i5-750 Lynnfield 2.66GHz 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1156 95W Quad-Core Processor
- GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4P LGA 1156 Intel P55 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard w/ USB 3.0 & SATA 6 Gb/s
- SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
- Rosewill Smart One Black Computer CaseRosewill RV2-600 600 W Power Supply
- G.SKILL 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10600) Dual Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10600CL9D-4GBNT (I'm getting 2 of these to sum 8GB).
- Logitech X-540 Speakers
Other parts from my old Computer:
- Radeon 4830
- LITE-ON DVDRW LH-20A1S ATA
- Samsung SyncMaster P2350, I will get a second Samsung 23" monitor but I don't know which one yet.
I was planning to get a SSD to install my OS but they are too expensive in my opinion so I will wait until they become cheaper.
I think I can get all of this for about $688 so I have about $50 left. I would be open to change the CPU for something better that doesnt add more than $50 to the price.
I'm open for opinions. Also I am not 100.1% sure that everything is compatible, this is my first build.
