Heya, I'm building a new PC for the upcoming Diablo 3. I'll probably also play a bit of Skyrim on it. At first I was going to go for an AMD build due to familiarity of the company in the past but with the tech reviews the way they are, I'll give Intel a first try.
Here's the parts I picked out so far.
Newegg Parts
Motherboard + Ram: Asrock Z68 Combo with 2x4 Mushkin Silverline = $134.98
CPU: Intel I5 - $205 after coupon
GPU: Sapphire 6870 $161 after coupon
HD: Crucial 128gb SSD $129.99
DVD Drive: LiteOn Dvd Burner $14 after coupon
Amazon
Case: Cooler Master Haf 912 $59.99
PSU: OCZ ModXStream 600w $74.99
(Already had) Monitor: Asus VH242H 23.5"
17" Nu 8ms
(Already had) Speakers: Logitech V-5500
(Already had) Mouse: G5 Mouse
Borrow Windows 7 Disc
All in all it cost me..... $779.95 with $40 in rebate cards
The motherboard seems like a good one to add onto later in the future. I'll have fun installing some extra fans, upgrading to 16gb ram, going into crossfire. For now I just want it to run Diablo 3 smooth as butter.
What do you guys think?
