Hi, i read through a lot of posts and compiled the following list and would like comments/suggestions. thank you.
My budget is 500-800.
I will not be using SLI or Crossfire and I doubt i will anytime in the future.
I will not be overclocking but like to have the option of doing so.
** The following prices include tax and shipping, so feel free to provide better suggestions.
CPU - i7 2600k 300$
MOBO - Asus P8P67 Pro REV 3.0 170$
RAM - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231314 - 80$
HSF - Hyper 212 Plus Universal CPU Cooler - 26$
HDD - need recommendation preferably supporting 6gb/s and sata3 - 500gb or higher.
PSU - Thermaltake TPX-775M http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=6624663 - 75$
GPU - Radeon HD 5770 - 110$
Case - Need recommendation.
Also can i get the asus p867 m-pro since that is a micro atx and get a micro atx case to fit all of this?.
As you can see i am already above budget so i would also like to know where i can cut down on cost without taking a big performance hit. i would like to use the 2600k as i feel its much more future-proof than the 2500k.
