I purposly left out the gpu, I'm buying one later and I have a 3470 to hold its place.
Just looking for critique and stuff.
Power Supply (Silencer Mk III Series 600W 80PLUS Bronze High Performance Power Supply)
= $90
Motherboard (Gigabyte GA-P75-D3)
= $80
CPU (Intel Core i5-3450 Quad-Core Socket 1155, 3.1Ghz, 6MB)
= $190
RAM (Mushkin Enhanced Silverline DDR3-1333 (2x4GB)
= $45
Case (Antec ONE Gaming Series Mid-ATX Case)
= $35
HDD (SATA3 6.0Gb/s 500GB 16MB Cache Seagate)
= $80
All of the above include rebates
Prices based on Canada Computers
Subtotal = $520.8
Total (+tax) = $588.5
One thing I want clarified is
* The PCI Express x16 slot supports up to PCI Express 2.0 standard when an Intel 32nm (Sandy Bridge) CPU is installed.
Does this mean my Ivy Bridge 22nm i5-3450 makes the PCI Express x16 slot support 3.0 standard?
The motherboard is debatable, partially chosen due to price. The only mobos I found capable of crossfiring 2 gpu's at 16X/16X each (at 2.0 standard(what I originally wanted in a mobo)) were over 180$, and I'm on a budget, probably a good enough budget since I'm not buying a high end gpu right now.
Thanks in advance for your...criticisms.
