So I'm looking to build something around a Z77 Sabertooth. The last rig I built was...
Thermaltake Armour Series full tower
ASUS P5WDH Deluxe
Q6600 GO stepping
Corsair XMS2 4GB RAM DDR2 800
EVGA 8800 GTS 640MB GPU
X-FI Fatal1ty Pro 7.1 sound card
OCZ 850W PSU
LiteOn DVD burner
I built this rig back 2/08/2007. The MB recently died (My own doing), the GPU card had given up the ghost about 6 months ago, and I had to replace the PSU about 3 years in. If the MB didn't shit the bed, I'd still be happy.
I'm looking to build something new, and maybe try watercooling. I have a Thermalright Ultra 120 CPU cooler on the Q6600 because I did, at one point, have it OC'd, but brought it back to stock because I really didn't see the need to OC what I had.
I know I want the Z77 Sabertooth. I know I want 32GB of RAM. I like the G.Skill Rip, but also saw the Corsair Dominator. I was looking at the 3770K deal at Micro Center. I basically need the following for my new build...
Case (Pref mid)
MB
CPU
GPU
RAM
PSU
Cooling (Doesn't have to be water, and I'll probably not OC for now, but might down the road).
I'd like maybe some fan controller, or a little eye candy on the front of the case, but not a huge deal.
The PC will be used for surfing the web, moderate to heavy gaming, and longevity. I don't mind spending a decent price for a great rig provided it'll last and play games to come like my previous rig did. Any and all input is appreciated.
