Newegg Combo computer

[Rickywhit]

I found a combo deal on Newegg.com http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.691250 and was wondering if that is a pretty good setup.

Ill add http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161381 for the graphics card, and probably add this SSD http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820147502&cm_sp=Cat_SSD-_-Samsung_BF-_-20-147-502.

This computer would mainly be used for gaming with multiple monitors.

Its okay... outdated, but I suppose it will work.

Its better to go for a 2500K (which will perform better than the 960), and a LGA 1155 motherboard.

If you do go for that combo, don't forget to get optical drives and the OS (64-Bit!!!).

There is really no reason to get anything other than 1155 unless you need the PCIe lanes (3 card sli/xfire) in which case you would want to go 2011. You could do better for a grand.

Yeah I would go with an 1155 mobo with dual channel memory instead of 3 channel and the 15-2500k.
my build

Mobo: Maximus Iv Gene-z $169.00 Amazon
cpu: i5 2500k $214.00 amazon

PSU;Galaxis 650w 80+ modular $49.00 clearance @PcDirect

gpu:Asus Engtx 560 dcII Firmi 1Gb ddr5 $129.00 Ebay (new) Browsing ebay shops
for a grand total of $714.00
If you need a hard drive you can get samsung f3 spinpoint for around $139.00 and a small ssd for o.s. and cache for less than $100
You would still be under a grand and you would have much better components.
