Question before I finalize this computer

[mcdougal806]

Ive asked some questions before about a 1500 pc but was thinking a little higher to save from upgrading in the future. Found 2 pc setups one is more of a combo deal. Alot of the parts from both sets are the same. Just wanted to know which was my better option of the two and if im ok with compatibility with parts and if im missing any major parts. Thank you.

Are these prices in US dollars? Some of the prices seem kinda steep if they're in US dollars.

 

[mcdougal806]

Yes these are in US dollars and all of these are from Newegg.com prices.

 

[eloric]

In option one, are you purchasing a CM hyper 212+ and a noctua cooler? Drop the Cooler Master - it is too small for all the heat a i7-930 produces, especially above 3.8 Ghz. In option two, would recommend the same, although I heard the reaper memory is too high for the noctua.

 

[mcdougal806]

Ok so drop the $50 coolers in both and ill still be ok? Anything else to tweak, looking to get these this week to have my guy build for me. Thank you.

Id go Msi motherboards instead last longer but other than that all gravy

 

[mcdougal806]

going on that last statement with the Msi motherboards would this be a good fit for performance/quality with my video card and i7-930 processor?
