Hello,
First and foremost thank you for your time to respond! I am trying to build a gaming computer, and The list that I am aware of that I must cover iscase/mobo/processor/ram/hard drive/power box/ video card/ audio card/ cd dvd rw drive/ OS windows 7)
First I was looking to mimic HP's choices for mobo and processor but when i looked at getting the i7-3820 processor it says it maxes out at 64 gb ram. I do not believe there are any ram dims in the 16gb size. which means it would need to be installed on an 8-slot mobo(correct me if I am wrong). I have no idea what mobo to choose, I looked at Newegg as many people suggest on this website and it has great prices. I guess I will try to keep my rambling short. I am 20 and have been saving up for this but now feel as though I am up a creek without a paddle. This is my starting design...
Case: Corsair Graphite Series 600T from
New egg $160 or COOLER MASTER HAF 922
New egg $100 (is one significatly better than the other?)
Mobo:? Intel BOXDH67BLB3 LGA 1155 Intel H67 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard
New egg $100
Processor: i7-3820 tiger direct or new egg $320
Ram: 16GB (kingston (4x4GB) Would having 32GB benefit me more? or 64 if possible? Amazon $88
HDD:?? Western Digital Caviar Black WD1002FAEX 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
New Egg $140
Power Box:SeaSonic X750 Gold 750W ATX12V new egg $150 (750W enough for what im building? extreme.outervision.com came back with some high numbers... & also there is another power source on new egg SeaSonic M12II 850W for the same price...
Video Card: 2X Geforce Gtx 560 ti
New egg $500
Audio Card:?? Creative 70SB073A00000
New egg $55
cd dvd rw Drive:??
OS Windows 7: home premium 64-Bit
new egg $99
Those are the parts I have looked at, Video cards was a very hazy subject for me as everyone chooses their loved brand, I have only had Nvidia so I am partial to it.. If I am missing any specific parts that are needed in a comp, or if you know of better deals/ better approaches I am open to all ideas/criticism. thank you!
