I will be purchasing these soon:
Processor:
Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500K - currently $204.99 with $15 off with promo code EMCJKJG34, ends 10/19
HDD:
OCZ Agility 3 AGT3-25SAT3-120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD) - currently $175 or 155 after mail in rebate
Motherboard and Memory Combo:
GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD4 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard with G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) for $230 with a $20 mail in rebate
Have a question on the following:
Video Card:
MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - $270, but out of stock. Can either wait or I could go for SPARKLE Calibre Series X560 Ti DF GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card for the same price. It was reviewed vs the 1GB version of the Twin Frozr and was a bit better overall. Dont know if i should just go with this one or stick it out/shop elsewhere for the Twin Frozr 2gb version. Or if anyone has a better suggestion for $250-320 ish im all ears.
CPU cooler:
Currently have a Tuniq Tower 120 cpu cooler, would like suggestions if i should replace this or stick with it, would like to overclock the processor around 4.5-4.8ghz and have an antec 900 case.
Currently the total for what I am going to buy is $634.16 (including shipping of 24 dollars) this is not including the video card or the cpu cooler. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated, and just an fyi, this is a gaming computer for mainly BF3.
