Hi there.
I picked up a core i7 2600k Processor for a bargain so I will be building a new gaming rig based around it. Can you guys please look over my pre-build and give me suggestions & recommendations? Thank you!
CPU: Core i7 2600k Sandy Bridge
MOBO: (I will be picking up either one of them because I can get a good deal on them with combo purchase with my i7 2600k from Microcenter. I haven't picked up the CPU so when I go pick it up, I will add the MOBO to my order to get $50 off from combo purchase. The price difference between the two is about $40 with Gigabyte one being the more expensive one)
A. ASUS P8Z68-V LX LGA 1155 Z68 ATX Intel Motherboard
B. Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 LGA 1155 Z68
Power Supply(?): (Need help choosing one.. Kinda clueless on choosing PSU's. I know Plus Silver Certified is better, and after MIR the price difference is $10. Should I just go for the Silver Certified?)
A. CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX Plus Certified - $129.99
B. CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 Plus Silver Certified - $139.99 @ MIR
Case: (I've had my eyes fixed on this case for quite a while now. I like the clean smooth look of the case and the fact that it is an aluminum casing. I also really like Corsair products !)
Corsair Obsidian Series 650D - $169.99 @ MIR
HDD: (I picked up a Samsung Spinpoint 7200RPM HDD a long time ago and it has been sitting in my room since then. I will be using that in my build.)
Samsung Spinpoint 7200RPM 1TB HDD
My build is not yet complete as I haven't included RAM, GPU, CD/Blueray Drives, etc etc to my build. I will build my system without the GPU first, taking advantage of the Intel 3000 graphics of the core i7 2600k until I feel the need to invest in an actual graphics card.
So... how does my build look so far? And as for the multiple option categories, which ones would you prefer/recommend and why? Thank you very much for all the help and have a great day ^^
