I have a 1400 budget for a computer. im not overly concerned with "need" so id like to get the most efficient parts for to make the computer from the most reliable manufacturers.

as far as motherboard cpu and ram, im hoping people can tell me what would be really good from newegg

i found

cpu


the ram i think has not so good latency. but im not certain if the higher number was bad or good..

thanks everyone!

What are you using your pc for.

If you're looking for economic efficiency, the old X58 platform is not the way to go. Are you looking to game on this computer, or are there specific professional apps you're looking to run?

not for me actually and at the moment i dont know. but im pretty sure its not for gaming.. is all i could say for sure.. . .what would be the best parts for that price or is it important to know what its for first?

thanks

What do you plan on doing with this PC? This is the real question because your choices so far don't make financial sense; you can have something better for cheaper like this:

CPU: Intel i5-2500K 220$
MB: GIGABYTE GA-Z68XP-UD3P 180$
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X DDR3-1600 8GB (2 x 4GB) 55$

Total: 455$ vs 600$ (original)

I'm just trying to understand wanting a $1400 computer but not knowing what it's for. If you just want something for web surfing/media, you could save $1000 and still have it last you years. Are you doing this for a friend? And yes, figure out what it's for first
