I have searching around for a while trying to get an idea of what I am going to build lately and I've always had a budget of $1000. (Excluding the OS and Monitor) As it currently stands here is my (Soon to be) build.
i5 3570K – $227 from PCDIY or MSY
Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO – $34 from PCDIY or MSY
8GB KIT 1600 Kingston Hyper-X – $43 from MSY
1TB Westen Digital Blue – $76 from PCDIY
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 – $135 from PCDIY or MSY
Radeon HD 7870 Saphire O/C – $245 from PCDIY or MSY
NZXT 410 Phantom White – $128 from PCDIY
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular – 79$ + $13 Postage from PC CASE GEAR
Samsung SATA DVD Optical Drive – $19 from PCDIY
Total at best possible prices – $999
As you can see it fits right into my budget but I'll get to the questions now. I think I should, as many people have suggested, invest in a SSD but there doesn't seem to be any room for one in my budget. I don't need to have massive storage, 64GB I think would be fine for what I will store on it. (OS and a few programs and games I most frequently run) So should I think of building a non-overclocking build to save some money and buy a SSD? (Also you may be thinking I should can the Modular PSU and get a less expensive case. But I'm really fussy when it comes to how the inside and outside looks so thats why I've got a modular PSU and also colour co-ordinated my build to Blue & Black on the inside.) My other questions are how much performance will I gain when overclocking my CPU to around 4.3GHz and also what does a better and faster CPU inpact and make faster?
Thankyou to all who help.
It is also worth noting that I'm just 13 and this is my first build so I may not understand some terms when it comes to parts and such.
