Hi, I'm looking to build a pc in the next 2 weeks. The build will be mostly for gaming, surfing, encoding some movies. Parts I have are a 22" monitor 1680*1200 res (or something like that lol), mouse, keyboard, speakers, dvd drive. I will buy parts off ncix so I only have to pay 5% tax and free shipping with points. I'm looking to build a "low end" i7 set up.
-Cpu: Intel i7 920 ($360)
Mobo: GIGABYTE GA-EX58-UD3R LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard - Retail
- Case/Powersupply: Antec Sonata 3
- HD: WD 640gb
- RAM: G.SKILL 3GB (3 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9T-3GBNQ - Retail
- Vcard: SAPPHIRE 100245L Radeon HD 4850 512MB 256-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported Video Card - Retail
Now this comes out to $1100 on newegg but I think I can get it down to $1000 with sales at ncix + price matching. I mite upgrade to the 4870 or gtx260 if I can get it under $200 cad. How does this build look?
