Sorry i know I had a $1000-$1500 post and as I progressed it kind of evolved into a $2000 build so I felt it was wrong to post this there.
Approximate Purchase Date: Next 2 weeks or so.
Budget Range: $2000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: GAMING, surfing, minor edditing every now and again. Then basic stuff like work(office), occasional movie watching, etc.
Parts Not Required: Mouse, speakers, printer. (need a monitor though.)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Neweggs fine, because there prices are good
Country of Origin: I'm from India but I live in Singapore, don't worry about the newegg shipping tho i got a way of getting it to singapore quite cheaply.
Parts Preferences: Like I said, Im a bit of a noob, but id prefer to stick with an intel cpu.
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920/whatever's worth it.
Additional Comments: Please dont get angry with me if I don't get what your telling me, like i said, Im a bit of a noob.
So Ideas? I was going with this;
US$
GPU
---------
MSI GTX 580 Lightning Xtreme Edition (XE) 3GB- $600
SSD
Intel 320 Series SSDSA2CW120G3K5 2.5" 120GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive - $215
HDD
SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive - $60
PSU
COOLER MASTER Silent Pro RSA00-AMBAJ3-US 1000W ATX12V v2.3 - $160
DVD
ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM - $20
RAM
Corsair Vengeance 8 GB ( 2 x 4 GB ) DDR3 1600 MHz/
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBXL - $50
MOBO
ASRock Z68 EXTREME4 GEN3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard - $190
FAN/CPU HEATSINK
Hyper 212 pLus
CASE
Corsair Obsidian Series 650D - $190
Monitor
ASUS VH242H Black 23.6" 5ms HDMI Full 1080P Widescreen LCD Monitor 300 cd/m2 ASCR 20000:1 (1000:1) W/Speakers - $180
Which comes to about $1965.
So. You think this is good? I saw the marathon $2000 thing and liked someone's idea of using a 3x sapphire 6950 toxic card.
I like iRaiden's build http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/317198-31-bestconfigs-poll-high-intel-gaming but was uncertain about the whole watercooling thing. Im new to pc building, is it very hard to setup?
