Hello there,
My budget took a hit, so I'm down a few hundred bucks and wanting to build a strong base that I can upgrade over the next few months.
I do heavy multitasking, some video encoding and photoshop stuff and play a couple of games, the biggest probably being the Sims 3 (which my current, old 8600 will do for now until I upgrade the card).
I won't be overclocking in any fashion so I don't need any OC capabilities to be honest. If they come with the package at a good price (without paying more specifically FOR it), that's okay then, but it's in no way a priority.
Here's what I've got thus far, I want to buy all from newegg so I get it at the same time:
Case: Rosewill BLACKHAWK Blue Edition Gaming ATX Mid Tower Computer Case, come with Five Fans, window side panel, top HDD dock
Motherboard: MSI Z87-G45 Gaming LGA 1150 Intel Z87 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Pro Gaming with Killer Networking & Sound Blaster Intel Motherboard
CPU: Intel Core i7-4770 Haswell 3.4GHz LGA 1150 84W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics BX80646I74770
PSU: SeaSonic M12II 650 SS-650AM 650W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified Modular Active PFC Semi-modular Power Supply New 4th Gen CPU Certified Haswell Ready
SSD: SAMSUNG 840 Pro Series MZ-7PD128BW 2.5" 128GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 - Full Version (32 & 64-bit)
That's about $1,100 tax, shipping and all. I don't 'want' Windows 8.1 so much but I want the retail to be able to use in future builds so decided against the OEM version of 7.
If there's anywhere I can trim the fat, that'd be great but I figured this was a solid build so that I can add the gtx 760 and a WD Black 1tb later on.
Any suggestions would be great, I'd love to drop a little cost and still be safe for upgrading to the bigger GPU and adding another SSD and HDD later. Thanks, much appreciated!
