Hi all,
I've decided to build up a PC for the firs time, dedicated it to Skyrim and BF3. I'd like to keep it between $900-1000.
So far this is what this is what I'm thinking:
CASE: Rosewill CHALLENGER Black Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
MOBO: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
PSU: CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W ATX12V v2.31/ EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Active PFC High Performance Power Supply
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 3000 BX80623I52500K
Or is there something faster/cheaper out there?
The GPU im not entirely sure on yet. I was thinking about the Radeon HD 7850 , but it will be over a 1/4 of my total build cost.. worth it?
HDD: Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB 7200 RPM 64MB Cache SATA 6.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive
VRAM: G.SKILL Value Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
COOLING: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 EVO RR-212E-20PK-R2 Continuous Direct Contact 120mm Sleeve CPU Cooler Compatible with latest Intel 2011/1366/1155 and AMD FM1/AM3+
CASE: 50
MOBO: 115
PSU: 110
CPU: 220
GPU: 260
HDD: 100
VRAM: 40
Cooling: 30
---
Total: $925
I already have the keyboard, mouse and disk drive. Monitor is the last thing on my list, but any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. If I did decide to overclock would need more cooling?
Any thoughts/criticisms/suggestions/help in general would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
