I am helping a friend build his first computer and I want advice to see if this is the best bang for my buck. He might be gaming and he needs to have wi-fi. Here is the list I came up with.
Component & Price with Rebates
ASUS P8Z68-M $117.99
i3-2120 $129.99
ASUS DVD $18.99
Fractal 3000 $69.99
Corsair A70 $24.99
Rosewill RNX-N300X $24.99
XFX 550W $54.99
Crucial m4 $162.14
XFX 6870 $149.49
Dell E2311H $179.99
G.Skill Ripjaws $40.00
Logitech Mk520 Keyboard/Mice $47.94
Total: $1,021.49
I included the price on a monitor and keyboard.
Dell produce higher quality monitor so I think he would perfer that over a cheap HD monitor.
Would a Corsair A70 cooler keep the CPU cooler then stock and would that lead to longer reliability?
My goal is to stay under $1000 or as close. Let me know where I can cut cost.
