Approximate Purchase Date: Yesterday
Hi everyone, trying to do my first system build for my kid. We're both excited!
I want to make a build for CoD4:MW CoD:MW2 and CoD:MW3 and BF3. Probably I will not use it other than gaming.
Budget Range: max $2000
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming - BF3
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Amazon, NewEgg, Microcenter
Country of Origin: CO, USA
Parts Preferences: Intel
Overclocking: Yes
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe/ Maybe
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Things I have already decided on:
CPU - Intel Core i7-2600K - $200
GPU - 1 EVGA GeForce GTX 580 - $500
MOBO - Gigabyte Z68XP-UD4 - $200
Cooler: Antec 620 - $60
Microcenter had a great deal on CPU and MOBO for $400 - otherwise I woulda gone i5 2500k
Leaning towards:
Case - Cooler Master - HAF X or Cosmos S
SSD - Crucial M4 CT128M4SSD2 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive - $199
HDD - SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s - $60
Optical - LG Black 12X BD-R 2X BD-RE 16X DVD+R 12X DVD-RAM 10X BD-ROM 4MB Cache - $70
Need help on:
PSU - Want Corsair, thinking 850W for future headroom. Do I go Enthusiast Series TX850M 850W or Professional Series HX850? Or something else?
RAM - Like Crucial, best option in 16GB configuration? Prefer 1600 mhz
If you have thoughts on anything on the list, definitely let me know. I've gleemed this all from the 1000 threads or so I've read from this forum this week
