Hey guys. I want to buy a new PC (hopefully this weekend as ibuypower has a nice sale going on. Im a noob so I would love to hear your opinion on parts. I would like to have this pc last for a while and do not plan to make upgrades to it.
Approximate Purchase Date: hopefully this weekend but if not within the next few weeks
Budget Range: 1200-1500 after rebates (not counting mouse, keyboard, speakers, monitor)
System Usage from Most to Least Important: As of now, mainly watching movies, anime. I also like to photoshop and would like to get into gaming.
Parts Not Required: Monitor, Speakers, Mouse, Keyboard (I will buy these separately)
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: ibuypower
Country: US
Parts Preferences: None specifically
Overclocking: I will try to
SLI or Crossfire: If its within budget
Monitor Resolution: Will eventually have dual monitor 1920 x 1080
Additional Comments: Prefer quiet and no lights.
Here is what I came up with (again I am a noob so feel free to critique everything):
case- coolermaster silencio 550
processor- core i7 3770k (is it worth upgrading to the x79 processors?)
processor cooling- corsair h60 hydro cooling with dual fan upgrade (im not too sure about this one but all options had liquid cooling and the dual fan seems like it would keep temperatures down)
memory-8 gig g skill ripjaws ddr 3-1600
graphics- nvidia gtx 670
motherboard- asus p877 V LK
power supply- thermaltake 850 watt w0319ru (is this much worse than the corsair 850txv2
hd- dual 120gig ocz agility 3 ssd running at raid 0 (im not sure if i should get 1 or 2)
hd 2- 2tb 32mb cache @ 7200rpm
onboard sound card and lan
right now its a bit over my price range but I am assuming I will be changing parts. what do you think about this setup?
