700 - 900$ Enthusiast PC
Last response: in Systems
Approximate Purchase Date: Next week
Budget Range: 700 - 900$
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Everyday use (surfing with many tabs while using Spotify and Excel in the background), watching 1080p movies, gaming (still important)
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, HDD, Optical drives
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I really don't know any good US or UK websites since I'm from Sweden, but if you post links to newegg.com i. e. I can look up the parts in Swedish online stores. For swedish people on the forum, it actually doesn't matter that much, I don't think we have as good rebate system as you guys have over in US.
Country of Origin: Sweden
Parts Preferences: Intel i5 750/760, Overclocking-friendly MoBo (ATX), 4GB RAM, GTX 460/470 or Radeon 6850/6870 (depending on the final price)
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe later
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: A discrete and functional Mid to Full-Tower.
I took a look on the System Builder Marathon September and think the 1000$ system seems pretty good, and if you take away the components I don't need the price will definitely be right. But now it's November and things may have changed a little (especially in the graphics section).
Thank you in advance!
Regards,
Jens Nilsson

maybe get the UD3 if you want SATA 6GB/s for raiding SSDs for "future proofing"

RAM: 4GB(2x2) CL 7 to 9 and 1600Mhz 1.35 to 1.6v from any reputable manufacturer (G.skill, Corsair, Crucial, Mushkin, etc). I'd avoid OCZ for ram though...they've gone a bit flaky.

Sorry I can't provide any specific links to components as I'm not well versed for shopping in Sweden. Good luck with your build and hopefully others will offer some suggestions too.
Edit: For your graphics card consider the GTX 470 if you find a cheap one on sale as they've dropped quite a bit in price.
