I've been going back and fourth from the i7-3820 to the i5-3570K for about a good week now, I'm kind of stuck in a bind about my decision. Spending about $500 for a decent x79 platform breaks the bank a little bit and doesn't leave room for a SSD for me. I'm planning on building a complete new computer and just giving my FX-4100 computer to my mom, so here's my build.
Case: HAF 932 Advanced
Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-Z77X-UD3H
CPU: i7-3770K
Heatsink: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo
GPU: Gigabyte 7950 WINDFORCE
Monitor: Acer S231HLbid Black 23" 5ms HDMI LED-Backlight
RAM: 8gb G.Skill Sniper
Optical Drive: Asus-DRW 24x
PSU: Corsair TX650
HDD: Western Digital 1TB
SSD: Crucial M4 128GB
If anyone could recommend a decent SSD that doesn't break the bank would also be appreciated, I want to keep this around a 1.5K build. I don't plan on upgrading to anything until 2014 or later, so I want something that will last and be able to max games for a good few years.
Total Cost Right Now = $1,470.89
NOTE: Opinions Appreciated
