Hello guys!
I need to build a new system that can last me about 2-4 years, so right now I really need some advices from you guys who are expert in building a future proof desktop pc. I have some ideas in mind that what kind of specs I want for my pc, so here it is:
My ideal specs:
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500
GPU: Asus ENGTX560 DCII OC/2DI/1GD5
PSU: Corsair HX 650w
Sound card: Asus Xonar Essence STX
Motherboard: Asus P8z68 V-LX
Storage: Intel SSD 520 60GB (as main drive for faster OS boot time), 500GB (I will use the one I have now)
Memory: Kingston 8GB
I myself is fine with this pc build, but I've just heard that the new Ivy Bridge Intel processor will be released very soon, so I'm a bit worried
and not really sure if this i5 2500 can last me long enough to play games, daily normal purposes, and so on. What I want to know is how do you feel about this specs? I hope I can get the best performance as much as possible from my budget, and you can also give your opinion or recommendation for which brand to choose. One last thing I want to know is does it mean that a good motherboard have good reliability and it can last much longer? Because I have faced many problems on my old pc and it was mostly the problem of the motherboard, like unable to boot the pc, and sometimes the system would suddenly "hang" so I had no choice but to restart it and I have replaced about 3 of them. Any help would be very much appreciated!
Budget Range: around 990 before rebate
System Usage from Most to Least Important: gaming, normal usage, and listening to music
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, monitor, speakers, pc case, and DVD drive
Parts Preferences: by brand or type (e.g.: I would like to use an AMD CPU & Biostar mobo with a 24" LCD and full tower case)
Overclocking: No
SLI or Crossfire: Maybe
Monitor Resolution: It's not a matter for me.
