Taxes finally came in (I'm a procrastinator when it comes to filing) so its about time to get a new rig to replace my rather tired 3yr old Dell Vostro 200.
The idea here is a setup that will last 3-5years, and possibly beyond with upgrades as they become necessary, with a pricetag around 800-1000 usd.
Looking for input on the components. I've read a lot of reviews and am fairly confident with my choices, but want to see if anyone in the community has had any issues with these specific parts, or can suggest better quality/performance parts at comparable prices. (fyi, I'm a bit of an AMD CPU + Nvidia GPU fanboy)
69.99 Case.
88.99 PSU. Didn't seem worth the +$30 for the comparable Corsair 650w, unless XFX is junk...?
149.99 Motherboard.
149.99 CPU.
59.99 Hard Drive.
22.99 Optical Drive.
189.99 GPU.
84.99 RAM. Had some questions about this. I looked at this comparison, they all cost the same and have the same timing, so the 1600 is > the 2 1333 options right?
As is the total comes to $816.92 (+99.99 for Win7 Home 64-bit).
This total does not include package deals, rebates, or shipping. All of that will be taken into consideration once I start the ordering process.
