So far I have these parts:
AMD Bulldozer FX-8120 ~$220
[strike]ASROCK 990FX Extreme3 AM3+ Motherboard ~$140[/strike] New: ASUS M5A97 AM3+ AMD 970 ~$100
8GB Corsair 1600mhz ddr3 ram ~$50
Cooler Master RC310 Case ~$40
RAIDMAX HYBRID 2 RX-530SS 530W PSU ~$45 or $35 after rebate
no dvd drive
Seagate Barracuda ST31000524AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 6.0Gb/s ~$45
[strike]total w/o graphics card ~$540 with rebates[/strike] Now $610 including the GPU
XFX HD-679X-ZRFC Radeon HD 6790 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 ~$110 (will more then suffice)
Now, without touching the Bulldozer (no intel trolls please) could somebody please give me some advice on how to squeeze the best video card into this build, I have an Apple Cinema HD display @ 1920 by 1200.
Thanks in advance!
