First time i5 2500k build!

I'm currently planning a similar build right now- recieved my Antec 300 this morning, and just ordered my RAM. How much have you spent on this build? (minus LCD, and other peripherals).

Cheers

Well this is pretty much my final list of items I purchased...

  • Antec Nine Hundred Two V3 Midi Case
  • MSI Z68A-GD65-G3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard
  • MSI GTX 560 Ti 1024MB DDR5 TWIN FROZR II OC Edition Graphics Card
  • Intel Sandybridge i5-2500K Unlocked Core i5 Quad-Core Processor
  • Corsair DDR3 XMS3 8GB Desktop Memory
  • Sony 24x Internal DVDRWRAM SATA Black Lightscribe
  • Crucial Solid State Drive2 128GB M4 Solid State Drive
  • Noctua NH-C14 CPU cooler
  • XFX Pro 850W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
  • TriCool 120mm Blue Led fan
  • Arctic Silver 5 Thermal Compound
  • Akasa PSU extension cable

For all those parts it cost me around £950, I had a monitor and other peripherals so that's all I spent. You could easily get that price down though... the Motherboard, SSD, CPU cooler, PSU and case all bumped my price up quite a bit. If you didn't want to spend as much get a cheaper PSU, maybe go HDD instead of SSD, get a cheaper Motherboard and you could easily save £40+ on a cheaper CPU cooler. If you have the money though go for it! :)
