Hi everybody
I am trying to get a reliable computer with lasting value.
i am just getting into pc building. I've taken apart 2 old broken computers (just to take a look) and need a new computer. I decided that to get the best computer and to fully know what I'm getting, I would need to build my own computer. Barebones seem nice, but none of them fit me. I checked out custom barebones, but those are more confusing, only giving me names of products and recommending products without details. they also come prebuilt.
I eventually decided to build a pc from parts.
Here's what I got for a lasting, upgrade-able, fast PC:
MOBO: MSI Z77A-G45 Intel 7 Series Motherboard - $95 here http://www.tigerdirect.com/applica [...] CatId=6976
CPU: Intel i5 3570k - $230 everywhere
I read around and found that the cpu would be really great if it wasn't so hot, so maybe an intel fan: Intel BXRTS2011LC High Performance Liquid Cooler - $100 at Tigerdirect
easy first case: MSI IN-623 Ravager Mid Tower Case - $40 at tigerdirect
PSU! : Thermaltake W0382RU (only really semi-modular) $70 at tigerdirect
I can get a hard drive for about $85 at tigerirect
again at tigerdirect: $20 24x DVDRW + CDRW
RAM: 4GBx2 Corsair Vengeance CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9B $50 at tigerdirect
Windows 7 64bit - $100
Solid state cache: crucial adrenaline for $90
need graphics card for CAD and extra ports for dual monitors: ZOTAC ZT-20313-10L Synergy GeForce 210 Video Card - $15 at tigerdirect
