Hi, I am wanting to get more into pc gaming and as such have decided to build a "mid-range" computer. This is the first time I am going to attempt anything like this so my knowledge of these subjects only go as far as my few days of research.
Approximate Purchase Date: Within the next couple of months
Budget Range: $800 - $1200
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming/Recording
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor(Specs), Case (Can find out if needed)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Thus far have used Newegg.ca
Country: Canada
Parts Preferences: Anything Reliable, and somewhat cost efficient
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: According to the Specs page 1680 x 1050 @60Hz. Will probably get a newer one, but not till awhile after I order my pc parts so any suggestions on monitors would also be nice.
Additional Comments: Want a reliable machine that will last me years and give me a smooth gaming experience.
I already have done some research the past couple of days and found some parts, please give me some feedback on the parts I have chosen as well as any way I can decrease price/enhance performance.
Motherboard - ASRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3 $149.99
Processor - Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) $229.99
Memory - Corsair Vengeance 8GB $49.99
Graphics - Sapphire Radeon 6950 2GB $279.99
Hard Drive - Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB 7200RPM $109.99
Power Supply - Corsair Enthusiast Series V2 650W $99.99
Cooling - Cool Master Hyper 212+ $34.99
Also looked at - Corsair H60 Liquid Cooler $70.99, but this is a considerably more expensive and newegg.ca is currently out of stock.
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit $119.99
My Newegg.ca cart is at $1074.92. As I previously said, if there is anything in here that could be changed for lower price or better performance, please let me know. If theres anything I missed or if additional information is required also let me know. Thanks.
