Hi all
It's been a while since I last built a machine, so just wanted to make sure everything is compatible/fits/right connections, etc
Approximate Purchase Date: probably sometime this week
Budget Range: up to £1000
System Usage: mostly gaming (WoW, Starcraft2, Skyrim, Diablo)
Parts Not Required: need everything
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: dabs.com
Country: UK
Mobo - Asus P8Z68-V/GEN3 S1155 Intel Z68 DDR3 ATX - £120.99
CPU - Intel Core i5-2500K - £169.99
CPU Fan - Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev.2 CPU Cooler - £14.98
RAM - Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz - £36.99
GPU - Gigabyte GeForce GTX 560 Ti 900MHz- £169.99
HDD - Seagate 2TB Barracuda - £99.99
SSD - Crucial 64GB m4 - £66.99
Case - Antec 300 - £44.98
PSU - Corsair 600W Builder Series - £49.99
The rest are peripherals which are somewhat secondary:
WiFI - Edimax Wifi
Optical - LG Electronics 10x Internal BD Combo Retail
Been looking around at monitors, but haven't really found anything. Been looking for a 22-ish" LED screen.
One last thing - would it be worthwhile waiting for a month or so until the Ivy Bridge processors come out? I've been toying with building this machine for some time now, so another month won't really make that much of a difference. On the other hand, there'll always be something new coming out "next month". Will the new processors be a significant enough improvement to warrant the wait?
Thanks in advance!
