Hey all,
After much research browsing the internet and these wonderful forums, I have decided to attempt to build my first ever gaming rig and have come up with the following..
Case: Antec Twelve Hundred v3 / Antec 900 $233 / $117
Power Supply: CORSAIR Professional Series HX750 $189
Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z68 UD-4 $209
Processor: Intel i7 2600k / Intel i5 2500k $315 / $212
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 $104
RAM: G.Skill Sniper Low Voltage 8GB $74
SSD: Cruicial M4 128GB $285
Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Black 64MB Cache 1TB $87
Optical Disc Drive: Samsung SATA Dual Layer DVDRW $24
Graphics Card: EVGA GTX 570 $359
Total: $1879 / $1660 AUD
Peripherals -
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium OEM $94
Mouse Mat: Razer Goliathus Speed Edition $24.95
Keyboard: Razer Blackwidow $129.95
Mouse: Current Razer Naga
Monitor: Yet to decide
I will more than likely be going with the $1879 AUD build. I want to be able to run all the new release games on high settings if not maxed out.
Any suggestions to parts that keep within $200 of the final price are appreciated if they provide a benefit.
I also have a few questions..
Is all this compatible?
Will it all fit in the case (Im pretty sure it will, just making sure) ?
What monitor do you suggest? (Would love anything from 24-27", my budget is 300-400 AUD
Thanks in advance
Berteh
