Hey guys, so this is my 1st time building a machine and I've reviewed these parts but I'm still having trouble finding a few good parts.
I'll be buying most of these parts from newegg.com (No tax!)
Purchase date: Sometime in October however I'm thinking about waiting til Black Friday.
I'll be using this machine for gaming and some internet browsing, homework, and something else that I forgot about.
I live in the US, in NY.
I won't be overclocking the day I get the parts however I will be overclocking in the future when I think it's time to do so.
I will be using SLI with a 2nd graphics card but, only when I think it's needed.
These are the parts I have in mind:
Case- Antec nine hundred - $100
Motherboard – ASrock x79 Extreme4 - $225
CPU – Intel I7 3820 - $300
CPU Cooling – Cooler Master 212 EVO - $30
RAM – G. Skill Ripjaws 8gb - $45
GPU – Nvidia GTX680 - $500
HDD – Raptor HDD SATA - $38 - Ebay or some other place to get a cheap HDD.
DVD – ASUS 24x DVD-rw - $20
PSU – Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 750 - $110
Thermal Paste – Arctic Silver 5 - $10
I still have to shop around for a keyboard and mouse lol
The main concerns I have is :
1. Is my case big enough to hold my GPU.
Any advice and/or recommendations are appreciated.
I have not seen a reason to spend a lot on a HDD as I don't think I'll be using a lot of disk space.
