Hello All,
Here's my BF3 build, I just have a few questions.
Mobo: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131767
GPU: http://www.amazon.com/XFX-6950-MiniDP-Video-HD695XCNFC/dp/tech-data/B004ULZ7YY (XFired)
CPU: 3.9GHz Bulldozer Quad-core (when it releases in a week or two) $225 or so
RAM: http://www.amazon.com/Corsair-Vengeance-240-Pin-platforms-CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9/dp/B004CRSM52
Hard Drive: http://www.amazon.com/Western-Digital-Caviar-Intellipower-Desktop/dp/B004VFJ9MK/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1314861595&sr=1-1
PSU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371044
Win 7 Home Premium: $100
DVD Drive: $20
Case: Hopefully less than $75
SO, here's the questions:
1) The bulldozer CPU is supposed to work best with 1866 MHz RAM. Is this bull? Should I just cut $25 and just get 1600 MHz?
2) Any full-tower case suggestions?
3) Do I need any more cooling stuff, like an aftermarket heatsink?
4) Is a 650w PSU enough? If no, any suggestions?
5) Any other suggestions or price cuts?
Thanks!
