Well the wife is about done with school and wants to get back to a desktop. She primarily plays Sims3 and typical internet usage. I figured I would give her my current tower (in my sig) and build myself a new one. So This is what I am currently looking at for a build:
Case: Cooler Master HAF X
Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth Z77
CPU: Intel i7 Ivy Bridge 3.5
Memory: G.Skill Sniper Series 8GB DDR3 1866
SSD: Samsung 250GB
HDD: WD Blue 1TB
GPU: ASUS GTX 660 Ti
PSU: Corsair TX series 750W
Heat Sink: Noctua 120/140mm
OS: Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit
I am open to some suggestions if you see where I am making an error or can improve on the system. I tend to prefer ASUS over other manufacturers, just because I have had very good reliability out of their products. My biggest question is with running the nVidia GPU. I have always ran ATI Radeon in the past, but I thought I might try something different. Anyways I look forward to hearing some comments and critiques.
Cheers,
Brew
