I haven't built a computer in a long time but I am up to date on the current technologies of everything . I've already purchased my i5-2500K CPU and ASUS P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3 MoBo but thats all I have towards the build am I'm having trouble deciding on the rest. Picked them up at MicroCenter in NJ <--- AWESOME Store.
Approximate Purchase Date: Pref Today, could wait until Monday at the latest
Budget Range: After Rebates --> $350 ($400 Max)
Additionally, for my RAM, I haven't purchased it but I picked out and planned to purchase the Cosair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) 1600 MHz
If you have any suggestions or comments to help, I would appreciate it too.
System Usage: Schoolwork (chemistry structure modeling, biomechanical/kinesthetics simulations), flight simulators, minor Autocad use,
Internet browsing (I hit pretty hard on tab usage ha), online lecture viewing, Heavy simultaneous document usage
Possibly some movie watching but not that important.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: I don't care as long as it's not used; for a big enough discount, I'm even open to Manufacturer Recertified/Refurbished items
Overclocking: Some, most likely not above 4.5GHz
SLI or Crossfire: Either/Or
Monitor Resolution: 1024x768, 1280x1024 --> I have been using either my 37" Samsung 1080 LCD or my 28" 1080 Vizio LCD. However, I eventually (within
the next 8-12 months) want to move to 4x ~23" 1080 LEDs, but don't focus on that right now unless you have some input (I would be
happy to hear it; Especially if you know of any good/cheap wall mounts)
