Hi all,
I'm getting ready to build a computer and am having a pretty hard time finalizing components. I'll be gaming mostly but it will also be a school computer. I play lots of racing games and Bad Company 2 and would like this computer to be able to run Battlefield 3
I'm in this section because I can't decide if I really need the i5-2500k vs i5-2400 and I can't decide between a CM690 II and an Antec 900...
Case: CM690 II/Antec 900
HDD: WD1001FALS 1TB Western Digital @ 7200rpm
Video Card: HIS 6950
Power Supply: Coolermaster Silent Pro M600 RS
CPU: i5-2500k (Note: I don't plan to overlock. I'm told this is better anyway)
RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB
MOBO: MSI P67-GD65
CD/DVD: Sony Optiarc 24x DVD Burner
End Price: $949 after MIR (With CM690 II)
or
Case: CM690 II/Antec 900
HDD:Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM
[/url]Video Card: Asus GTX 560 Ti
Power Supply:CORSAIR Enthusiast Series TX750 V2 750W
CPU: i5-2500k
RAM: CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB)
MOBO: ASUS P8P67 DELUXE
CD/DVD: ------
End Price: $840 after MIR (With CM690)
Which of these two builds is superior? Is the first one worth that extra cash? I would also like the computer to be quiet
I'm not a fan of how much the HIS 6950 costs...is it worth the extra?
Thanks for all the help - I appreciate it. This is a little mind-numbing in the amount of work in checking if RAM works with the MOBO (I still don't know how to do that...)
There are also a list of combos if my ideas aren't good...
