I have a $1200 budget and I am buying this system within the week. I did have a board and ram picked out but now I am not sure. Could someone make a few recommendations?
Current build minus the needed parts is as follows...
CPU
Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz - LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I72600K
GPU-
ASUS ENGTS450 DC OC/DI/1GD5 GeForce GTS 450 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16
(not a gaming machine so this card works for my purposes)
PSU-
CORSAIR Enthusiast Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V
HDD-
Western Digital Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5"
CASE-
Rosewill BLACKHAWK Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
OPTICAL-
LG Black Blu-ray Disc Combo SATA Model UH10LS20 LightScribe Support
MONITOR-
Acer G235HAbd 23'' WideScreen LCD monitor
-
Current total is $916 I would like to stay under $200 for the motherboard
I'm also having trouble with finding memory that is compatible with the LGA 1155 socket boards.....need to have 2 x 4g sticks DDR3
Thoughts?
