+1 for the 2500k


Why the laptop hd?

 

[Sean W.]

Thank you slaymate! glad to see that you are still around! i also see that you beefed up your sig rig. very cool

also, thank you for pointing out that my HDD was a laptop one, i just typed in WD black and put the first one i saw in the list.

 

[Night Fox]

You could lower that PSU down to 750w or 650w if you want to lower the price a bit more...

 

[Slaymate]

I agree, you don't need that much power. The mobo isn't a SLI mobo, the 2nd slot is just a 4X PhysX slot. Even if you maxed out your overclock I doubt if you would need 600W.

Sure you don't want a blu-ray drive?

 

[Slaymate]

It looks like a good little computer to me.

I have a blu-ray drive in both of my PC's and I never use them for blu-ray's.

 

[Yami]

I have one in my PC and regularly use it for Blu-Rays
