Ok so I will have approximately a 1,500 dollar budget to build a computer that I will be doing a lot of gaming and music media work on.
I want to know any feedback you guys have on the items I list even if it is a recommendation on new items or if you have knowledge of a soon to come discount on a item listed.
I really like the video card I have on here because of how cool it can stay under heavy pressure. I am looking for future proof and durability.
Here is the list I have gotten so far.
Media Drive- Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" -$69.99
Motherboard- GIGABYTE GA-880GA-UD3H AM3 AMD 880G SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard-$109.99
Video card- MSI N460GTX CYCLONE 1GD5/OC GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Car- $199.99
Memory- G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)- $79.99 (could go up to 6gb or 2000 if talked into it lol)
CPU- Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor-$294.99
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit OS-$99.99
System Drive- OCZ Agility 2 OCZSSD2-2AGTE60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)-$144.99
Total : $999.93
As of this moment I have no need for any other parts just the ones listed. I know that the total is lower but I also need recommendations on cooling systems and maybe even a good case. Eventually I am also getting a new monitor as well.
I will be playing SC2, WoW, Diablo 3, etc. so just any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
