hi,
so i finally decided to build a new pc, my dell xps 420 from 2007 with the q6600 seems fast enough, but it has a few issues, needs a new mobo, etc.
i will be buying the ivy bridge cpu on april 29th when it comes out. probably the i7 3770K...
so heres what i already ordered.
ASUS SABERTOOTH Z77 LGA 1155 Intel Z77 Mobo
G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2133 (PC3 17000) Desktop Memory Model F3-17000CL9D-8GBXM.... i know 8GB aint much, but thats what i have on my current pc and it seems like its more than enough. went with the 2133 because according to some ppl, its compatible with the motherboard and its great for OC
heres what i still have to buy. maybe a little more research and see what other people suggest.
Mushkin Enhanced Chronos Deluxe MKNSSDCR240GB-DX 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive... although lot of people say to stay away from the Mushkin SSDs because of known issues, but this SSD has the highest read/writes of any ssds unless you get the revo drives from ocz. i have the 120GB version of this SSD in my new dell xps laptop that i got myself for christmas and added the ssd right away, boot times are 19 seconds, twice faster than stock hdd and everything is so fast and i love it. this will be for the boot drive and installed programs.
Noctua NH-C14 6 Heatpipe 2x140mm SSO Bearing Quiet CPU Cooler...
this is what i will be transfering from my current pc.
Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD PCIe Sound Card
corsair tx750W psu
ATI Radeon HD 5600 Series GPU
Barracuda 7200.12 1TB HDD & Seagate Barracuda XT 2TB. also have a 64GB crucial adrenaline ssd cache which i will not be transfering cuz i will be getting a real ssd.
i havent decided on a case.
what you guys think about this build? i will try oveclocking this thing, still too early to say how well the chip will overclock, but if its doable, i'll do it.
thanks in advance.
