I was a owner of a Dell XPS 720 (not liquid cooled, still working) for 4 years, and now I decided to get a new gaming rig.
Approximate Purchase Date: In august (if all goes well at start of August, if not at the end)
Budget Range: 4 000 - 5 000 CAD
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, web...
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, speakers
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ncix.com (canada)
Country of Origin: Canada
Parts Preferences: Intel and Nvidia
Overclocking: Yes
SLI: Yes
Monitor Resolution: 1680x1050 and up
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After some lookup for the past days, this is my preliminary PC draft for now:
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600K Quad Core Unlocked Hyperthreading Processor LGA1155 3.4GHZ Sandy Bridge 8MB
MOBO: ASUS Rampage III Black Edition EATX LGA1366 X58 DDR3 4PCI-E16 CrossFire SLI SATA3 USB3.0 Motherboard
