Hello,
I've endlessly searched the Internet these past few days and got to a component list (mostly for gaming) I feel happy about:
Intel Core i5 2500K 3.3GHz S1155 Box (182,49 €)
ASRock Z77 Pro3 Z77 Sockel 1155 ATX DDR3 (89,90 €)
MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin Frozr II/OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCIe (199,90 €)
TeamGroup Elite 8GB KIT DDR3-1333 PC3-10667U CL9 2x4GB (30,90 €)
XFX Core Edition PRO 750W 80+ Bronze ATX 2.3 (79,90 €)
Total: 583,09 €
585 € is really my upper limit for this upgrade project (shipping will be 15 €, so a total of 600 €). There's no budging there.
I will use my old Antec P180B as case. Also, will locally try to find a S775 bracket for my Thermalright TRUE Black 120 cooler I'm currently using in my AM2+ rig (so I don't have to use Intel stock cooler). Afaik, Asrock Z68 and Z77 motherboards allow S775 coolers installed on them (called C.C.O. or something).
Is that PSU overkill? Please remember that I have 6 x 3.5" hardrives in my current system. My current PSU is a 2-3 year old Enermax Modu82 525W (or 425W, can't remeber for sure). The old setup has been pretty much up and running 24/7 (I read that PSUs deteriorate over time).
PS. Will most definately try to do some overclocking on both CPU and graphics card to get more out of this "budget" rig.
