Hey guys, i'm starting school in several months, and i will be using my computer with 3ds max, Solid works, Photoshop, Illustrator and other similar softwares. As im looking to save as much as possible, i can't spend much, but i would like to get the most out of it for the next 4 years, with maybe a memory upgrade in a couple of years.
Current PC:
Intel Q6600
Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3R/S3R
850Watt OCZ powersupply
XFX Radeon 4890 1GB
4gb Viper DDR2 (with another 2 sticks of Crucial DDR2 1gb that stopped working with the viper, but works wonderfully alone...)
Lots of hard drives, dvd-roms.
For the new PC, i need a more silent built since i will be living in a small room. So i will be buying a new case (Currently own a Thermaltake Matrix). I will also use my 850W power supply, my hard drives, DVD-roms and my XFX Radeon Card.
What i need: CPU, Motherboard, Memory and Case. Budget: 500-600$ Canadian!
What i was looking at:
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition: [strike]149.99[/strike] 137.50 (Pricematch -15%) http://ncix.com/products/?sku=52067&vpn=HDT90ZFBGRBOX&manufacture=AMD&promoid=1026
[strike]Gigabyte GA-890XA-UD3: 129.99 http://ncix.com/products/?sku=51764&vpn=GA-890XA-UD3&manufacture=Gigabyte[/strike] (since i don't need a dual GPU, and never will need it)
GIGABYTE GA-870A-UD3: 96.99 http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128443
Mushkin Enhanced Silverline Stiletto 8GB 2X4GB PC3-10666: 85.68 http://ncix.com/products/?sku=55544&vpn=996770&manufacture=Mushkin%20Enhanced
Already Bought Fractal Design Define R3 & Coolit Systems Eco for 127$ shipped! Thanks jason!
