New PC, take 2
A few months ago I was ready for a new pc and posted here. For reasons I won’t go into here that got delayed (cough… iPad, $900… Ouch)
On the plus side in that time the gtx 600 series, and ivy bridge CPUs have come out as well as stupidly over priced hard drives have dropped somewhat.
I’ve spent the weekend doing some whirlpool reaserch and come up with the following. Let us know your thoughts.
| Motherboard | Asus P8Z77-V | $209 |
| CPU | Intel I7 3770K | $375.00 |
| CPU Cooler | Noctua NH-D14 | $86.00 |
| Case | Antec P183v3 | $154.00 |
| Power Supply | Silverstone ST75F-P 750w modular | $128.50 |
| Graphics Card | eVGA GTX 680 SC | $689.00 |
| DVD | Pioneer DVR-219LBK | $25.00 |
| Hard Disk 1 | Intel 520 – 120GB SSD | $191 |
| Hard Disk 2 | Seagate ST2000DM001 2TB Barracuda, 7200RPM | $135.00 |
| Hard Disk 3 | Seagate ST2000DM001 2TB Barracuda, 7200RPM | $135.00 |
| RAM | Corsair 16GB 1600mhz DDR3 | $130.00 |
| Sound Card | Sound Blaster x-fi xtreme | $75 |
| Speakers | Creative GWT40-SII | $122 |
Total $2454
+ few extra hundred added for build (can’t be bothered spending the time building it), Windows, and on site warranty (got about $1500 worth of replacements under warranty with my last build, well worth it)
