Hey guys, I posted this on the Computers section and a reply told me to post here for more suggestion. I am still trying to build a gaming rig preferably less than 2000 dollars but I will need to be able to dissect the parts after this semester of college and fly it on an airplane.
So basically I am building a computer for 1 semester and then taking it back home (flying it).
That's why I am looking for a cheap case where I toss away when I move back.
1) What will you be doing with this: Gaming
2) What's your budget? Less than what I have listed. Shipping is included in that price
3) Where do you live? Indiana right now
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? Everything I have listed
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? None
6) Will you be overclocking? YES
7) What size monitor do you have and/or plan to have? 24in definitely
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? ASAP
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? RAID? Firewire? Crossfire or SLI support? etc.ALL OF THEM
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? If yes, what OS? 32bit or 64bit? YES WINDOWS 7 ULT 64
What I have so far:
CASE: Antec 300
CPU: i5 750
MOBO: Gigabyte P55A UD3
HDD: Samsung F3 Spinpoint 1TB
RAM: GSKILL RipJaw 4GB 1600 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231277
COOLING: Corsair H50 (I will be actual water cooling when I move back)
PSU: Corsair 750W
GPU: HIS HD 5870 ($30 off right now with coupon form fatwallet) I might get XFX if its REALLY worth it
OPTICAL: SONY dvd burner 24x
Monitor: Dell S2409W 24-inch
Keyboard: K300
Mouse: (I have g5)
Total after shipping = $1400
Is there anyway I can cut some costs without losing the gaming power? Thanks for all the suggestions.=]
