Hi, can you guys please have a look at my parts list for my new PC before I go ahead and buy. Any suggestions/tips/experience are much appreciated as this is my first homebuild.
Things i will be using the Pc for:
- Some gaming
- Photo (and a little video) editing
- Some fairly serious multi-tasking, downloading, webbrowsing, media etc
- a base for a HTPC (possibly with a 3d projector somewhere down the line...)
- Quiet!! i really want this PC to be as quiet as possible.
OS:
Windows 7 Professional - OEM 64-bit - £111.90
is it worth getting retail version?
Optical:
LG BH10LS30 10x BD-RE & DVD±RW £112.99
Monitor:
Dell U2410 UltraSharp 24" £455.31
tough choice between this, HP LP2475W (hard to find), HP ZR24W and NEC 2490Wuxi
CPU:
Intel i7 930 2.8GHz £231.49
Mobo:
Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R £164.59
thought about ud7 but dont think the extra features are worth the extra £100 to me
Input:
Logitech Wireless Desktop Wave Pro £79.99
Anyone got this?
Cooler:
Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 £17.95
Thinking about WC in future but for now just want a cheap quieter cooler
SSD:
Intel 80GB X25-Mainstream £169.99
have a little spare budget so tempted to up the capacity here but may just get another one at a later date if needed
Storage:
Western Digital WD20EARS 2TB OEM £97.98
One for now, looking to buy another if performance is good
RAM:
Corsair 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz XMS3 Dominator Memory CL8(8-8-8--24) £159.98
Not really a well considered decision but heard 1600MHz+ is good and dominator line seemed well regarded
Case:
Antec P193 Mid tower case £121.15
Quiet case, fits GPU and doesnt look like a UFO/christmas tree
PSU:
Antec CP850 850W Modular PSU - £87.87
GPU:
XFX ATI Radeon HD 5970 725Mhz 2GB PCI-Express 2.0 HDMI (Black Edition) £490.67
Total: £2299.31 inc VAT £1956.85 ex VAT
Many thanks
