Hi [H],
so I'm building a new gaming machine since I sold my rig (see sig,) and I have a working budget of 1500, so I'm looking to save as much money as possible (mail in rebates, combo specials, etc.) This a ground up build and I'm replacing everything, and want feedback...
1) What will you be doing with this PC? - Gaming!
2) What's your budget? Are tax and shipping included? $1500 (inc Ship, no tax)
3) Where do you live? Oregon
4) What exact parts do you need for that budget? Listed below
5) If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing? All new parts
6) Will you be overclocking? Moderate (IE 3.2 on stock cooler for now)
7) What size monitor do you have or plan to have? Buying also (1920x1200)
8) When do you plan on building/buying the PC? Building
9) What features do you need in a motherboard? Xfire support
10) Do you already have a legit and reusable/transferable OS key/license? Sure.
Case:
Antec P182 $129.99
CPU:
Intel Core I7 920 $289.99
PSU:
Corsair 650W $74.99 ($20.00 MIR)
Mobo:
MSI X58 Pro $199.99
GPU:
MSI 4870 1GB $254.99 (-$30 combo w/ mobo + -$25 MIR)
RAM:
G.Skill 6GB DDR3-1333 $139.99
HDD:
WD 500GB SATAII 7200 HDD $64.99
DVD:
LG DVD-/+RW $21.99
Display:
Westinghouse 26" LCD 1920x1200 $250.00 (free shipping)
Other than an awesome deal coming out this week or we find some parts cheaper @ frys, shipping from Newegg is $16.00, for a grand total of $1421.48 (not counting MIR's.) and if MIR's come through than I'll get 5.1 speakers, keyboard, and G5 mouse. I think I'm doing ok, but I know there are alot of bargain hunters around here and can point me to saving a few bucks here and there.
