Hi all,
I'm looking to build my first gaming PC, and I'm trying to keep it under $1000 total.
Approximate Purchase Date: Next couple weeks, but no rush
Budget Range: Less than $1k
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, streaming movies, web browsing
Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon, Microcenter
Country: U.S.A.
Parts Preferences: Intel
Overclocking: Yes for the GPU, maybe in the future for the CPU
Monitor Resolution: 1080p (I may add a 2nd in the future)
CPU: Core i5 3570K - $190
Mobo: ASRock Z77 Extreme4 - $90 with CPU
Memory: G.Skill Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 - $40
HD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM - $80 after rebate
GPU: Asus Radeon HD 7850 2GB - $250
Case: Rosewill Challenger-U3 ATX Mid Tower Case - $65
PSU: Corsair 650W ATX12V - $71 after rebates
Optical drive: Lite-On iHAS124-04 DVD/CD Writer - $17
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit) - $96
Total: $899
Thoughts? Any compatibility issues or other stuff I should be aware of?
The HD $30 discount ends today, so unless there's something really wrong with it I'm gonna buy it in the next few hours.
Thanks all, any advice is much appreciated.
