Hey Everyone,
So this is another one of those “my first build” threads. I know these are a dime a dozen, so Ill try to keep it short and sweet. Any and all advice would be greatly appreciated:
Utility: mainly a gaming rig, but will occasionally use it for work; building statistical models derived from huge datasets (ie matrices of 10k by 50k), so RAM is pretty important.
Price Range: 1000-1200
When: Within the next week or so
Country: Canada
Store Preference: NCIX, TD or CC.
Heres what I am thinking:
CPU: i5-3570k
Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UDH3 (is this better then the Asus Pro3?)
GPU: GTX 670
PSU: I have an old Antec SP-500 from my previous build. Could I re-use this? If not, any suggestions?
Memory: any suggestions?
Case: I really know nothing about cases…The Antec eleven hundred? Corsair 550D? 300R? Help here is totally needed.
That about wraps it up. I have some spare HDD’s to tide me over for the time as well as a few monitors. Eventually Ill grab an SSD and a new screen, but for the purpose of this post, this is what I need to get me going.
Thanks in advance everyone!
