About 7 years ago I came across this forum (I think) with a build I had spent some time on before purchasing it, and with some guidance, I was saved a couple bucks and helped tweak a few pieces. Last week that build died. I am in the process of making another gaming rig.
Primary uses: FPS games (TF2, L4D2, Crysis, Etc) Movie watching (Netflix, Hulu, Blu-Ray) Music listening. Most components will be purchased through Newegg, but am not opposed to places that may be selling the same item for cheaper. I wanted to stay below 2,000 and I feel have done that well without going completely overboard.
Parts:
CPU : Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge 3.4GHz - 328.99
MOBO: MSI P67A-GD65 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 - 179.99
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB DDR3 1333 - 84.99
Video Card : EVGA SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR GeForce GTX 580 - 519.99
Sound Card : Creative SB X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Professional -89.99
HD : WD Caviar Black WD5002AALX 500GB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s - 59.99
CD/DVD/BR : LG Black 10X Blu-ray Burner - 89.99
Heatsink : ZALMAN CNPS9900 - 64.99
Case : IN WIN Dragon Rider Black - 159.99
I have the Power supply (CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V)
Any hints, direction, advice, or ideas you may have I would appreciate.
Thanks for taking the time
