I turned 21 yesterday, and looking to build my first high end PC.
I will be using this PC for general tasks, gaming, 3D modelling, writing my own games in Unity3D engine and also music production using FruityLoops.
Been doing some research the past few weeks and I have come up with this...
Asus Crosshair V Formula AMD 990FX AM3+ DDR3 £175
AMD Bulldozer FX-8 Eight Core 8150 Black Edition 3.60Ghz AM3+ £175
MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr II/OC NVIDIA Graphics Card (2GB) £198
Corsair Memory Vengeance Jet Black 8GB DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600) Dual Channel £50
OCZ ZS Series 750W 80 Plus Bronze Power Supply (PSU) £65
Seagate 2TB SATA III Performance Hard Drive ST2000DM001 7200rpm 64MB Cache £94
Z9-Plus Zalman Black Mid Tower Case £45
Total: £800
Approximate Purchase Date: This week, before wednesday
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, Mouse, Monitor, Speakers.
Country: UK
Overclocking: Maybe
SLI or Crossfire: Yes
Monitor Resolution: Will be using my HDTV 1080p until I have funds for a monitor.
Additional Comments: Will be buying Windows 7 OS, and also a disk drive.
Would be nice for a few people's opinions before I go ahead with this, new to the PC scene as have been gaming on PS3 since PS3 came out and only owned laptops before now.
Looking for some inside info on all the parts if you have used them before or heard things about them.
Price range is about £800, but will probably be £900 with disk drive and OS
And if I have listed something that isn't compatible with other things in my build, please let me know, for all I know, they will all work together.
Also, if anyone could recommend a disk drive, looking for Blu ray, but doesn't have to be.
Cheers guys.
