I am not planning on OC'ing, so i didn't think i need to get this Mobo http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813138296 (BIOSTAR TH67+ LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard)


This Computer is basically only for Wow, maybe ScII, netflix, and Internet.

Good to go?

No aftermarket CPU cooler in your list. Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound is not required.

 

[Subidoo]

What would you recommend for an CPU cooler? I dont need the compound, sweet. Saves me a Little Money lol

 

[WR2]

You can drop down quite a bit on the PSU. EVGA recommends a 450W PSU with +12v 24 Amps

 

[WR2]

Since you won't be overclocking you can skip the aftermarket CPU cooler and use the stock one that comes with the CPU.
If you prefer a better cooler here is a combo deal on the Core i5-2400 & XIGMATEK LOKI SD963 92mm CPU cooler You get the cooler for about $20 after the combo discount.

 

[Subidoo]

Would it make the Computer run cooler and quieter? Or would it do absolutely nothing at all if i'm not going to OC?

 

[WR2]

It certainly would keep the CPU cooler and just a touch quieter. But your case choice is a bit on the louder scale of cases. I think you can safely skip the CPU cooler.

CORSAIR Builder Series CMPSU-500CX 500W ATX12V v2.3 Active PFC Power Supply $60 & free shipping Saves $10 and has plenty of power - 34Amps +12V. That would handle a good future upgrade in video cards. Something like a GTX 570 class follow on.

 

[WR2]

Im looking around at case choices to see what might be quieter at the same price.

 

[Subidoo]

Thank you so much! i appreciate the work

 

[WR2]

Only case that look like it might be better and didnt cost more:
Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $55 and $10 rebate with free shipping

 

[WR2]

Should be a great little system. The Core i5-2400 / GTX 460 combo should do really well with WoW and SCII.

 

[WR2]

Be sure to let us know how things work out.

Here is a Step-by-Step Guide to Building a PC

Look over the forum's "System won't boot" checklist to see some of the common build errors and how to avoid them.

-> The usual advice; read the manual / install guide; look at the parts, read the manual again and if everything makes sense and looks right - then go ahead with the install.

While you're waiting you can download the online version of the motherboard manual and start getting familiar with it. Same for the other parts you want to order if they have install guides or manuals available.

Ok so does this look like a Good to go?

I just noticed the $5 shipping charge on the DVD burner.

This one has free shipping. LITE-ON 24x DVD Burner SATA $19

And maybe a RAM upgrade with the money saved on shipping the DVD.
CORSAIR XMS3 4GB (2 x 2GB) DDR3 1333 TW3X4G1333C9A G $45 & $10 rebate

 

[WR2]

Now you're ready to whip out that credit card.

 

[Subidoo]

So instead of the G.skill, get the Corsair ram?

 

[WR2]

Im checking the customer Feedback on both now. That G.Skill looks better than I first thought.

 

[Subidoo]

Ah great , should i pull the Trigger?

 

[WR2]

The G.Skill has 97% 4&5 'egg' rating from satisfied customers. Corsair only 73% 4&5 'eggs'.

This is looking very good:
KKingston HyperX Blu 4GB DDR3 1600 $50 & $15 rebate 96% 4&5 'egg' rating
->$5 off w/ promo code EMCKGJE99, ends 3/21

 

[selas]

good luck!

 

[WR2]

I think I'm going to be suggesting that HyperX for the rest of the week.

OK, I can't think of anything else. It's all checked and good to go.

 

[Subidoo]

So the G.skill, and Kkingston are about the same in satisfied customers. So i don't think it'll matter which one huh?

 

[WR2]

And still with a few minutes to spare.

 

[WR2]

One is DDR3 1333 the other DDR3 1600 and there is a difference in price.
But yes... both look to be very good.

 

[Subidoo]

So gamewise would the 1600 be better than the 1333?
