1) What will you be doing with this PC? = Gaming mainly Skyrim, FC3, Bioshock Inf, and Crysis 3
2) What's your budget? = $880 after MIR Are tax and shipping included? Yes but I have shop runner and Amazon prime. I don't have to pay tax on NewEgg orders, I do on Amazon orders.
3) Which country do you live in? = Wichita, KS
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? = CPU, Ram, MB, Memory, Vid Card, PS, heatsink, HD, & DVD burner
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? = none
6) Will you be overclocking? = Aye, a lot.
7) What is the max resolution of your monitor? = 1080P What size is it? = 27"
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? = This week
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? = Strong overclock ability and at least two PCI-E 8x lanes so I can add a second vid card later.
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? Yes, W7 Pro 64 bit
MB = MSI Z77A-GD55 LGA 1155 = $124.99 -- Best OC for the $$. The pro reviews said this is one of the few non-funky MSI boards out there and they were pretty impressed.
CPU = Intel Core i5-3570K = $219.99
Heatsink = Refurbished: CORSAIR Hydro Series H100 (CWCH100/RF) = $75
Memory = 8GB (2x4gb) of DDR3-1600 or 1866 depends on what's on sale = $60
Vid Card = PowerColor PCS+ AX7870 Radeon HD 7870 MYST. Edition (Tahiti LE) = $208.79 -- Already ordered
HD = Seagate Barracuda ST1000DM003 1TB = $64.99 -- Not going to be able to afford a SSD on this build
Case = NZXT Crafted Series Tempest 410 = $59.99 + $9.99 shipping = Cheapest case that supports dual 120mm top mounted ratiator
PS = CORSAIR Builder Series CX500 500W = 49.99
DVD Burner = $15
Total after shipping but before MIR = $868.73
Anyone see any glaring mistakes in my plan?
