Hey –
Looking for some advice on my build. I am scavenging a couple parts from my previous build (2011?) including:
1. HD 7770 video card
2. CX430 power supply
3. DVD drive
4. Samsung SyncMaster 2220wm Monitor (1680x1050)
5. Windows 7
So I need everything else. Putting my E8400 Wolfdale out to pasture. Budget for the remaining pieces is $500-600. Not interested in overclocking. Plan to upgrade to really nice video card over the next year or so. Machine will primarily be used for gaming – probably older games mostly for now. Was able to run BioShock, StarCraft2 at high settings when I first put my old rig together. Not watching movies. Newegg preferred or similar. SLI/Crossfire maybe in future. Would like the SSD/7200 hard drive combo setup. Also I don’t want to skimp on the case – just something good/solid middle of road. Looking for function over form.
Plan to buy over the next few weeks, possibly waiting for black Friday deals. Thanks!
Ron
