Logitech Wireless Combo MK260
Newegg.com - Logitech Wireless Combo MK260 920-002950 Black 8 Function Keys USB RF Wireless Standard Keyboard and Mouse
Already have power supply / case and monitor.
I picked that processor out due to the 6mb cache , maybe able to unlock another core tho i was more likey to oc just 2 cores ( thinking for games 2 cores with a high ghz with 3mb would be better then 3 or 4 cores with less cache per core )
As for the memory, I could get cheaper ram for 20 dollars less with less mhz , but I would think choosing 7 latency with 1333mhz would over better stabiilty and tighter settings.
I have a good quality psu with 500 watts, do you think it will handle this setup?
$ 392.95 + 36.35 tax = # 429.30
I do not have a operating system i was thinking for a retail verson of windows 7 ultimate which is $ 290. or home for 190.
Suggestions?
