$3000 dls build getting last parts

post #1 of 14
Thread Starter 
Hi there

i´ve been posting for some help in my build, but as always everyone has different thoughts.

Anyways, i just bought:

CPU: i7 3770k
GPU: ASUS GTX 690 ( Too late to change for 680 SLI, because a bought it 3 months ago. and now i know it sucks at vram being 680 sli better)
Motherboard: Maximus V formula
Case: getting the cosmos II (because one friend is selling it) and i really like it, enought space for everything.

the rest im buying it in october because my brother is going to newyork for shopping so he can order it in newegg and amazon (just like i did with mobo and proc last 2 months with my parents) And yes we have a house in connecticut that is close to newyork so ordering stuff is no problem. Im from mexico, and **** is ******* expensive and hard to get the ones i need, it doubles/triple the cost! so **** mexico.





about SSD: Heard the m4 crucial is just one of the best or a vertex 3 ,no idea wich one is better but i think 128 gb of m4 crucial ill be fine ( for windows 7 and maybe in future windows 8, it depends in the future how good is windows 8) games, ill just play starcraft 2 (and facebook games) <-- lol im joking, playstation 2/3 games, and maybe ill buy BF3, counterstrike GO or other games that maybe ill like now that i have a good computer.

Hardrive: i just picked 2 randoms, no idea wichone is better. (games are supposed to be installed in ssd or in hardrives?)

RAM: well theres a lot of them, just tell me one best one, the 2400 dont know if really it does a difference than a 1600 or 2100 or something. (and maybe if its looks good with mobo and is good one i can get it)

and thats all my friends!

CPU - GPU and Motherboard < --- i already own

try to be clear with suggestion and why you preffer the suggested one.

For the psu you can save money by getting corsair HX 750 ~ $127 after rebate, 80+ gold certification, dont worry about the system wattage it will be around 600~650W for a single videocard, & the psu can provide theoretically a 950W combine, hence the gold certification.

for the extra hdd i suggest the hitachi 1TB 7200 rpm ~ $70, it has great value for the price & has longer warranty for peace of mind, for basically same specs as the seagate.

for rams I suggest the patriot viper 3 1866 ddr3 8GB kits ~ $40 after rebate, (newegg) a great memory for the price of 1600 speed or this wonder ram samsung low voltage 1600 8GB ddr3 ~$45, good for its OC feature, low voltage and low profile.

for ssd i suggest samsung 830 128GB ~ $120, they're much faster and same reliability for additional $10 only.

add a aftermarket cooler later for that k series cpu

Only useful if you are transferring stuff from an old hdd, but a clean install should be done. So no, although the usb adapters are nice if you want to use older hdds for external storage like I do.

Bulk/OEM basically means you are getting a bare drive, no mounting, cables, etc and that's normal. Your case will have the HDD mounts and you will have to buy SATA data cables of course.
Good luck with your build.
