Hello, i bought a old computer off a friend and I just cant take the slowness and badness anymore.
E6600
2GB DDR2 Ram
7950GT
The case is terrible and needs to be replaced...I have to keep the side off because of overheating issues. I dont know if the power supply is good or not, im probably going to say no. however I can reuse the HDD and DVD Burner. I also have a 24" monitor.
My Budget is 1k but if you can reduce the price and maintain good performance then thats cool with me =P. The type of computer im looking to build is one that will last me a long time where the ONLY thing ill have to ever replace is the videocard and maybe the HDD to an SSD.
Heres a list I came up with:
Case - COOLER MASTER HAF 922 $105
CPU - Intel Core i5-2500K $225
Heatsink - COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus $30
MoBo - ASUS P8P67 PRO $170
Memory - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 16GB DDR3 1600 $92
Videocard - Radeon HD 6950 2GB $270
PSU - Antec BP550 Plus 550W $70
Thermal Compond - Tuniq TX-2 $7
Total - $970
My concerns would mostly be the PSU, I dont want to have a bad PSU. Saving money is the main thing here. Is this a good build? What can be improved without going over 1k. Can you reduce the price without destroying the power/speed?
Also, is the HAF 922 too much? too little? Should I upgrade it to the HAF 932? I might do some small overclocking on the 2500k...maybe go to a 4.0 idk.
Thanks in advance!
