Hi I am looking to purchase a new PC
I reside in South Africa and on average our conversion rate is 10-1, hence this 1000$ build will be a R 10 000 (south african rands)
Approximate Purchase Date: December 2011
Budget Range:$1000- 1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, movies
Parts Not Required: mouse, monitor, speakers, OS
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Local sourced
Country of Origin: South Africa
Parts Preferences: by brand or type Intel SB build, open to Nvidia or Radeon
Overclocking: YES
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1920x1080
Additional Comments: Mainly used for gaming and internet. Want to get best possible gaming performance for my buck. Not sure on SLI or crossfire as yet. I am trying to save a few bucks by buying a MB with 16x;4x. Is that a viable option. I have listed the 2 Mb's i have in mind. My current build as follows
PSU: Corsair Tx 650 V2 - 100$
MotherB : Asus P8P67 OR Asus P8P67 Pro - $ 140 and $ 170
CPU : i5 2500k + Hyper 212 Evo Cooler $ 240
Ram: 4G x 2 G skill Ripjaws 1600mhz Cl9 $ 110
GPU : GTX 570 OR Radeon 6970 2G - $ 390 and $ 360
DVD : Lite on $ 20
HDD : Barracuda XT 2Tera Sata 3 $ 170
Case: Im still undecided. I dont care how the case looks as long as functionality and space to fit parts is ok. $ 100 budgeted
Any advice where i can improve would be of great help. Advice on the GPU's and MBoards is needed. Im leaning towards the GTX 570
