Hello all,
I'm planning on going back to PC gaming (eff consoles ) and would like some opinions on the build im working on. I'd like to keep the budget around $1200 but am willing to go up to $1300 provided that there's compelling reasons.
I should note that I do plan to overclock in the future, and eventually crossfire or SLI. I'd like this pc to last me a good while too
So any and all opinions on how to get the most out of this build and futureproof this bad boy would be greatly appreciated.
Here's what I have so far...
Case - NZXT Phantom - $140
CPU- i5 2500k - $220
Mobo- Asus p8p67 pro - $170
Video Card- Sapphire Toxic 2 GB HD 6950- $290
Hard Drive- Samsung Spinport F3 1TB - $60
Memory- Patriot Gamer 2 Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600 - $60
Blu ray drive- Samsung SH-B123L (read only) - $55
Power Supply- CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W - $110
& Hyper 212 Fan - $28
Total- $1133
All prices are from newegg btw. Thanks!
