Hi all,
This is my first build. I have made a parts list based on The Verge's $1000 Gaming Build, but it's come to a little more than I'd like. I'm wondering if you can help me downsize the budget on these parts:
Processor: Intel Core i5 3750K (£172.01)
Motherboard: ASUS 1155 P8P67 EVO REV 3.0 S/L (£101.97)
Graphics: PNY GeForce GTX 570 (£178.36)
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 8GB (£43.50) SSD: O CZ Agility 3 (£47.52)
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Blue http://www.amazon.co.uk/Western-Digital-Caviar-SATAIII-Internal/dp/B00461G3MS/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1340288417&sr=1-1 (£50.11)
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast TX V2 (£70.38)
Case: Fractal Design Core 3000 Series (£50.92)
Blu-Ray Drive: Samsung SH-B123L/BSBP (£47.54)
Monitor: Hanns.G HL249DPB (£94.96)
Total cost: £857.27
Approximate Purchase Date: ASAP
Budget Range: £700-800
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming (TF2, Battlefield 3, Saints Row the Third), surfing, office work Parts Not Required: keyboard, mouse, speakers, OS Preferred Website(s) for Parts: no preference Country: UK
Parts Preferences:by brand or type: I need an NVIDIA card and I'd prefer an Intel processor. I'd also love to use a Micro-ATX case rather than a Mid Tower if possible - is that feasible given these parts? I only need one monitor when gaming, but might add an additional one I have lying around for office work etc.
Overclocking: Maybe if you can convince me...
SLI or Crossfire: No
Monitor Resolution: 1080p Additional Comments: Dual-booting Windows and Ubuntu
Thanks guys!
