Hi all, I'm building my first gaming rig and need some advice. My budget is ~$1000 CAD but I can be somewhat flexible. Here is the build I currently have so far:
1 x Cooler Master - Storm Enforcer Case, Black
1 x Intel - Core™ i5-2500K Processor, 3.30GHz w/ 6MB Cache
1 x Cooler Master - Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
1 x Arctic Cooling - MX-4 Premium Thermal Compound, 4g
1 x GSKILL - 4GB Ripjaws X Series PC3-12800 Dual Channel DDR3 Kit (2 x 2GB)
1 x Seagate - 500GB Barracuda 7200.12 SATA III w/ 16MB Cache
1 x Asus - EAH6850 DirectCU Radeon HD 6850 1GB v2 PCI-E w/ Dual DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort
1 x Silverstone - Strider Essential 600W Power Supply
1 x Microsoft - Windows 7 Home Premium x64 (64-bit) SP1 DVD - OEM
1 x Gigabyte - GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 w/ Dual DDR3 2133, 7.1 Audio, Gigabit Lan, CrossFireX / SLI
Does anyone have any suggestions to help me save money or suggestions for improvements that would be around the same price? Thanks for your input!
