i already bought it.

it was pre made like that and i spent 725 on it.

 

[tvvism]

if i wanted to swap out the cpu and mobo to a i2600k+mobo

is there anything else that i need to swap?

 

[mjmjpfaff]

i5 2500k w/ asrock p67 extreme4 mobo
8gb mem.
what gpu r u getting? reccomend gtx 560ti for ur budget
with that gpu 650w psu
cpu cooler -hyper 212 plus

 

[tvvism]

i already have the parts on my first post.

i bought it like that for 725.

i want to know if i got a good deal and i want to swap out the 1090t and mobo for i5-2500k or i7-2600k.

if i did switch out mobo and cpu to the intel will i need to change any other parts?

 

[mjmjpfaff]

no u dont need to change anything else. i dont see the graphics card though!!!

gtx 480 sc. looking to get a smaller 1gb ddr5 card to fit the storm scout case.

 

[brpeden82]

the gtx 480 sc should fit in that case. but the gtx 570 would be a better it uses less power at the same perfomance

was the gtx 480 included in that price

Ripped, Though the 16GB of ram kind of make up for it. You got jipped on the mobo, chip, and gpu. The GPU is a good card, however it is just old and has to many issues. Heat, high power consumption, loud. The PSU is just not a GREAT one, but it does meet 80+ standard so I'd assume it's not THAT bad. As for the Mobo, it's an older chipset and just doesn't have that expandability/upgradability newer 8xx series boards or higher end 79x series boards have. The chip, well it's not bad. But for the price a better one could've been bought.

The build is fine the way it is. No need to upgrade for a while. Probably will last you until next year at least. Maybe even another 2 years. The chip isn't bad, the ram is plentiful, the GPU isn't garbage, and you do have an SSD. All it is, is you didn't get the BEST value for it, but it is a solid build.

should i sell mobo and cpu for i5-2500k + mobo?

You won't get anywhere close to paying for the 2500K itself. I suggest just keeping it. It's a solid chip, 6 cores which help in some programs (Virtualizaton/Sims(Not the game)) As for OC's on the 1090T, expect around 4GHZ, but that's all you'll get, maybe 4.2ghz if you're lucky. Generally, you'd see from 3.6-4ghz range. It's hard to say.
