Hi, I am looking for a new gaming pc since it has been 3 years.. I have made a i7-960 setup but I have seen these i7-2600k processors and such and its almost making me change my mind if its worth it? I dont want to do any overclocking since I do not know how. So I dont know what is better for me and in the future since this is my first custom pc (960 or 2600k). This is what I thought would be best for my budget on a 960 setup.
- Coolermaster HAF-X 942 Case
- Western Digital 1TB 7200 internal hard drive
- EVGA Superclocked 1.2GB GTX 570
- TEAC DVD/CD ROM Driver
- Corsair 850TX PSU
- Corsair Dominator (3 x 4 GB) DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) 12GB RAM
- ASUS Rampage III Extreme 1366 x58 chipset Motherboard
- Intel i7-960 3.2ghz 1366
- CoolerMaster V8 CPU Cooler
- Windows 7 64bit
Total: 1700ish on Newegg
If you have any suggestions or if you believe there is a better setup for my future setup (buying monday, its thursday today) I would like to know or if someone can post a beast i7-2600k for under the 1700$ price range if they think it would be better for gaming then the i7-960 so I can run bf3 when it comes out just fine that would be great.. Let me know thanks!
