Hey all!!!
A friend of mine has been saving money to try and catch up to me. he has a 1tb hdd that he recently bought and will use that as his drive for now. He will not be doing any over clocking at this point, so it'll be stock cooling. But I am aiming for "future proof" while trying to stay around $800, so any changes would have to in a down direction. Is there any obvious bottle-necks here? If i end up with a smaller budget and have to downgrade the processor: Phenom (9xx BE) or maybe the 6 core fx? down grade Gpu or Cpu? Think this case only comes with 1 90mm exhaust fan, will case temp be a prob? Any one wanna venture a guess at retail cost of a rig like this?
Honestly also, is there a comparable (price/performance) intel setup?
The main purpose will be for gaming, "DayZ", "eve online", and probably fps's. And general (20 year old) web usage.
have promo codes for $48 off and the rebates come to $55 back in the mail, bringing the grand total of ($882 -$55 in rebates) $747
promo codes not listed:
-$30 power supply
