1500 Intel build

Last response: in Systems

I have been looking at build a new pc from daily gaming and some personal work uses. I would like to keep it around 1500 but can be pushed to 2000 if need be. Any help would be great.

- Case - your choice is fine
- drive - 240/256GB SSD (Samsung 830, Crucial m4, Mushkin Enhanced Chronos deluxe - whoever is cheaper) plus a 500GB Caviar Blue or Green (if you need more storage than the SSD provides)
- GPU - nVidia 670 GTX
- PSU - fine
- ram - 2x4GB (16 is completely unnecessary for your stated purposes)
- OS - does your personal business require ultimate? if not, Home Premium is the way to go
- mobo - do you want to SLI/CF? how far are you trying to overclock? Z77 either way
- CPU - i5-3570K unless you business apps respond well to hyperthreading (if so, i7-3770K

No reason to get a Velociraptor HD or Windows 7 Ultimate. You can drop both of those and save quite a bit of money. I think I would scrap that whole build and go with something like this:

You can OC to 4.0 without changing any settings other than the multiplier. Good idea to go with a z77 board, prefferably Asrock z77 Extreme4.

SSD is ungodly fast compared to anything but other ssd's. Get a 1TB HDD for storing files, 120GB SSD for installs. both should be cheaper than a velociraptor.

I'm in the middle of a new build myself and originally planned mechanical HD over SSD, but I don't need much storage space either and SSD seems like the way to go. They seem better in every way besides price/GB.

-Insanely faster - read reviews describing cold boot to Win 7 64bit in under 20 sec
-Not Mechanical - less prone to damage/failure and virtually silent
-Cool - Produce very little heat

It is without a doubt the better technology, but that comes at a price right now. My reasoning was since I don't need the stroage size, it would be my best option.

I was wary since it is a relatively recent technology, but if you check reviews and get a popular model you should be fine. The two that were suggested to me were the Crucial M4 and the Samsung 830. I think I'm going with the 128GB 830 for $99 on Newegg, it seems very reliable.

One additional thing to keep in mind is you may need a 2.5" to 3.5" conversion kit to mount it in your drive bays. The $99 model on newegg is just the drive, the desktop kit I thought was only $20 more yesterday, but now it looks like an additional $40.

I just bought one of those drives this week - it is *AMAZING*. I would not hesitate to buy another one.

My personal opinion is no for low to moderate OC. A $35 Hyper212 Evo will get you 4.2-4.4GHz (roughly 25% OC). Most thing's I've read is you need an H100 with push/pull to get much higher.
