Z-Machine - Corsair H80i Ordered
Hey guys,
Thought I'd put a build thread up seeing as it's my first ever build.
My proposed spec is as following:
1 x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - OEM £179.99
1 x MSI HD 6850 OC 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card £83.99
1 x MSI Z77A-G43 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard £77.38
1 x Cooler Master Silent Pro Modular 700W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply £64.99
1 x Samsung SH-B123L/RSBP 12x BluRay ROM / DVDRW DL & RAM Lightscribe SATA-II Optical Drive - Black (Retail) £61.99
1 x Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 500GB SATA 6Gb/s 16MB Cache - OEM (ST500DM002) £59.99
1 x Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with Fan Controller - Black £40.99
1 x GeIL Dragon 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C11 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (GD38GB1600C11DC) £35.99
1 x Zalman CNPS20LQ CPU Liquid Cooler (Socket LGA2011/1155/1156/1366/AMD FM1/AM3+/AM3/AM2+/AM2) £75.98
Total : £681.29
No doubt the finished product will differ from my original specification.
I was hoping to have more purchased but i looked at my finances and with a 2 week holiday to Florida coming up in August I couldn't realistically afford to jeopardise my spending money!
I started off with buying the Zalman Z9 case and essentially putting my old pc into the case until I could afford to purchase other components.
Unfortunately the optical drive is white rather than black but this will be getting replaced.
I'm quite happy with the outcome so far, I feel confident I can put a system together now.
Will update as and when things turn up so expect a slowish start!
