(note: this is my first time ever to be building a computer)
I haven't owned a new computer in over 5 years and people keep giving me conflicting advice about building a computer. I want to build a new PC in February or march , I know what I want to get out of this computer.
- Optimized for the best performance so I can get the most out of my money.
- Air cooled and not liquid cooled, I am not letting a single drop of water near my machine
I want the best air cooling money can buy if possible.
- optimized for as little power consumption as possible for a pc of this price
This is my current build:
Asus Maximus IV Extreme-Z Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard [90-MIBG20-G0EAY00Z]
Intel Core i7-2600K 3.40GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail [BX80623I72600K]
