Hello all. Right looking to purchase my new computer two weeks tomorrow so just looking at all the options open to myself and I am looking for some feedback and comments on certain aspects of the build. Firstly what I had in mind below:
Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor with FREE Operation Flashpoint Red River Game [BX80623I52500K] £169.99
Asus P8P67-M PRO Intel P67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 MicroATX Motherboard ** B3 REVISION ** £114.98
Asus GeForce GTX 480 1536MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FarCry 2 & Operation Flashpoint Games [ENGTX480/G/2DI/1536MD5] £191.99
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - OEM (GFC-00599) [GFC-00599] £79.99
Corsair XMS3 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (CMX4GX3M2A1600C9) £39.99
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (ST3500418AS) [ST3500418AS] £30.98
Coolermaster CM690-II Lite Dominator Case & GX 750W Power Supply £102.65
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro Rev 2 CPU Cooler £17.99
Samsung SH-S223C/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black) - OEM £16.99
Total = £765.55
Some questions I have are as follows.
1. Aimed at Stulid
. I have had the asus mobo range in mind for a while now but have heard there have been issues with them. If this is the case what other mobo of similar price would you guys recommend ?
2. Graphics. I am in two minds about this, do I stick with the 480 which is a beast or go for something a little more modest like the 5850 range etc? Or is there any other GPU which is an option here ?
3. Case/PSU combo. Really like the look of the coolermaster case and with the 750 psu included is a bit of a steal on price. Any feedback on this case and psu please?
Just some little points im not a massive overclocker, the only I may possibly do in the future would be to SLI / Crossfire two cards.
Sorry for this bible of a read, any comments are appreciated in advance and thanks for looking
4play.
