Hi Guys,
I am finally building another desktop after 5 years (so I m a bit rusty!!) I have done some research for the past week to get myself up to speed on latest and greatest - and this site is really awesome!!! I m trying to build a nice PC or at least nice base so I can easily keep adding to it as I go along.. Here is what I have so far:
ASUS P8P67 Deluxe
i5 2500K
Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 (8GB)
XFX HD-567X-ZNF3 Radeon HD 5670 1GB 128-bit DDR5
I will be using this machine for programming/multitasking for now with mild gaming so I m not concerned with the Graphic card (Plz suggest a better one for < $80 if possible)
I need help deciding on a Case, PSU, and heatsink (I m thinking of OC to 4.5Ghz) to keep my system cool.
For now I might not need much power or cooling but I might in the future so I would like to have the system ready for future upgrades..
I also need some help picking up a Hard disk? which ones should I pick that works nice with this setup?
My budget is about ~$400 for these.
On a side note.. should I invest in an SSD? which one? i might be able to squeeze an extra ~150 for that.
I really need to build this ASAP so I wud really appreciate quick responses.
Thanks guys.
