Hey guys, looking for some advice on a $1500 build i plan on putting together soon.
I asked about a build yesterday, and got some advice, and having modified it a bit, i would like some more input/ feedback, as well as suggestions for a Mobo and case.
Here is what i have so far:
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.ph [...] s_id=16142 $139.00
Antec High Current Gamer 750W Power Supply HCG-750
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.ph [...] s_id=16531 $225.00
Intel Core i5 2500K
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.ph [...] s_id=12544 $33.00
CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ CPU Cooler
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.ph [...] s_id=16510 $65.00
G.Skill Ripjaws X F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL (2x4GB) DDR3
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.ph [...] s_id=12711 $59.00
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB HD103SJ
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.ph [...] s_id=17957 $25.00
ASUS DRW-24B3ST 24X DVDRW Drive
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=193_1178&products_id=16893 $389
Gigabyte Radeon HD6970 2GB Overclocked
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.ph [...] s_id=17003 $95.00
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit with SP1 OEM
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.ph [...] s_id=16664 $185.00
BenQ GL2440HM 24in Widescreen LED Monitor with Speakers
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=210_902_903&products_id=17344 $125
OCZ Agility 3 60GB SSD 2.5"
Total: $1,340.00
Now, as the bright sparks among you may have noticed, i am missing a Mobo and a Case currently. Originally it was suggested that i get a ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 Motherboard and a CoolerMaster HAF 912 Advanced
to bring it to about $1600, but I am unsure about these parts.
With the Mobo, is it reliable/ a good choice? Is there a better option in the $140 range?
With the case, is there another option with similar functionality and price? ( I simply don't like it due to aesthetics, but will end up getting it if nothing better appears)
Any suggestions to the two parts i have mentioned or just to the build in general would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks in advance!
Also, please make sure all parts you suggest are from http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php , and in AUD. Cheers!
