Hey everyone, I am trying to wrap up my build so I can order everything hopefully in the next few hours.
Quick overview of what I am hoping to do with this rig:
Approximate Purchase Date: Tonight
Budget Range: $1300 though I could go over if it was worth it
System Usage from Most to Least Important: Gaming, Programming
Parts Not Required: Keyboard, mouse, speakers, monitor.
Preferred Website(s) for Parts: Newegg, Amazon
Country of Origin: USA
Parts Preferences: Nvidia Video Card, Intel
Overclocking: possibly though not a deal breaker
SLI or Crossfire: Yes, GTX 570 SLI
Monitor Resolution: 1900 x 1080
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Here is what I am planning on purchasing:
DVD Drive: ASUS DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS Black SATA 24X DVD Burner - Bulk - OEM
Case: COOLER MASTER HAF 922 RC-922M-KKN1-GP Black Steel + Plastic and Mesh Bezel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
GPU: EVGA SuperClocked 012-P3-1572-AR GeForce GTX 570 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support ..
CPU: Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500K
MOBO: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 LGA 1155 Intel Z68 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
RAM: G.SKILL Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-8GBXL
HDD: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD103SJ 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
SSD: Need a suggestion 120 - 128gb preferred
PSU: CORSAIR Professional Series HX850 (CMPSU-850HX) 850W ATX12V 2.3 / EPS12V 2.91 80 PLUS SILVER Certified Modular Active PFC
Total: $1,080.92 leaving me with around 220 for a SSD assuming I dont need to many drastic changes
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
These are the concerns I have:
Do I need a CPU cooler?
Will I need extra fans for my case?
For any of the above is there a better option for the same price maybe a little more? (or is anything flat out insufficient)
A good 120 - 128gb SSD suggestion.
And lastly parts wise do all the numbers match and will it allow me to add another gtx 570 without needing to buy anything else in the future.
I know this is a long post so thanks for taking the time to help me out and any and all suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated =)
