im not gonna overclock so i dont think i will need i5 2500k

 

[jackspeed]

the K version is only $10 more and allows for some combos on newegg so in my build it saved $6. plus this build can be overclocked if you decide to in the future. better to leave some options open. i was trying to fit an I5 in the build you could go with amd or the i3 and get a better mobo and case. I was grasping at straws on the case.

 

[fury0609]

i was thinking of i5-2400 which is $149 at microcenter

 

[aznshinobi]

^ That's not $149 online though. Only $149 instore.

 

[fury0609]

i dont mind picking it up

 

[fury0609]

well this is what i got so far

but its a little over budget (like $50 over budget after rebates)

[aznshinobi]

Oh OK so you have access to the local store. OK. Well in that case. Utilize this.
http://www.microcenter.com/specials/promotions/save40_promo.html
Get the i5 2400 and this motherboard.
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0366193
Then check out my $550 build here.
http://www.squidoo.com/electronicandmore
For the other parts.

 

[aznshinobi]

Your build actually look excellent! Go with yours.

 

[fury0609]

oh i didnt notice that promo
i think ill get my mobo and cpu from there
heres the mobo i picked
what do you think?
http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0364087
plus the i5-2400 total $242 with tax before $15 rebate

*i dont know what is required to sli/crossfire
but that mobo said it supports it and the psu i picked says it is sli/crossfire ready
so does that mean that i can sli/crossfire?
not that im gonna do it but maybe in like a couple of years when i need an upgrade

 

[aznshinobi]

Yeah looks good

 

[fury0609]

thanks
oh and one more thing
the computer case that i got only comes with 1 fan with it
is that sufficient vent?
or should i pick diff case with more fans? or buy a cooling fan

 

[aznshinobi]

Should be good.

 

[fury0609]

Btw I play mostly mmorpg games but I will be trying some fps like crysis2 or battlefield

 

[aznshinobi]

Your system should run just fine.
