- Live in Denmark (For parts)
- 50$ Bounty for directing me to the cheapest / Reliable place to buy through paypal
- The prices I listed is from Denmark and my Danish budget is higher to account for the higher prices
Hi guys.
I been stalking a lot of threads after finding this great site and it has made me hungry for trying out a first build.
Would appreciate some suggestions.
Some info about me and my needs. (Can skip this)
I've only owned lap tops and currently using my mac book pro for everything including gaming. (Sad face)
Around August I am beginning my education in Computer Science and would like a good rig that can run games decently and which I could use for my studies and whatever kind of homework they decide to throw at me.
I will also be using it for some gaming and maybe some light video editing when I get into that.
Currently I am not sure about at what budget I should run it and what the advantages of SLI are. I've seen a video of someone with an Eyefinity set-up and after 1-3 years I might try one myself.
The parts
CPU
Core i5 I5-3570K 6 MB (Intel Boxed) 299,92 USD
Or
Core i5 I5-2500K 6 MB (Intel Boxed) (Varmeafleder) 257,56 USD
To save some money with ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3
CPU Cooler
XSPC Rasa 750 RS240 WaterCooling Kit (255,97 USD)
Or
Need a suggestion if I go with the 2500k? Going to do mild OC 4.5Ghz
Motherboard
ASRock Z77 Extreme4 (175,12 USD)
Or
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 (159,76 USD)
With the I5 2500k To save some money
Memory
G.Skill Ripjaws-X 2 x 4 GB (86,68 USD)
It's 1866 Mhz since I can't seem to find 1600.
Hard Drive
WD Caviar Blue WD10EALX 1 TB (123,39 USD)
SSD
Crucial M4 128 GB (165,23 USD)
The price difference of 64GB and 128GB is 54$
Video Card
Sapphire RADEON HD 7950 OC (Detailsalg) (3 GB) 532,06 USD
Case
NZXT Switch 810 (268,32 USD)
Power Supply
Corsair Professional Series Gold AX750 (197,89 USD)
Or
NZXT HALE82 850W (178,12 USD)
Optical Drive
ASUS DRW 24B5ST (Black) (37,60 USD)
Total: $2145
If I go with I5 2500k + Asrock Z68 3 gen without the Rasa kit but something else I would save $300 since I'm not too keen on paying more than $1800 from Danish stores. But if I can get the stuff on the list for 1800 or less delivered I would reward with $50 or for the best suggestion unless it's same as me.
EDIT: I'm buying screen/mouse/keyboard/OS seperately. And adding which parts I'm currently set on.
