Topic: Potential rig build please review Posted: 29 Nov 2009 at 7:28pm |
I am looking to buy a system for gaming. I was thinking about buying an I7 extreme 1 with the following changes from the default:
Memory increased to 6gb 1600 mhz by mushkin. HD size to 1TB I selected a Geforce GTX 285 1Gb graphics card I also added in the mouse/keyboard combo and the cheap set of speakers. Total price comes to $1946. I am trying to keep the overall price below $2000. I can't save all the settings due to the current sales. Any thoughts? Thanks, |

ya I got thoughts:
1. don't raise the hdd to 1TB, instead upgrade to ssd or veloci later. 2. go with 275, you won't notice the difference between the two. 3. change the case to 932 so you have room to grow Copy of Specifications: Chassis Model: Special Deal Hot Seller - HAF 932 Exterior Finish: - Not Available Interior Finish: - Not Available Trim Accents: - Not Available Processor: Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz (Quad Core) Motherboard: EVGA X58 LE Edition SLI (Intel X58 Chipset) (Supports SLI or CrossFire) System Memory: 6GB DDR3 1600MHz Digital Storm Certified by mushkin enhanced (Highly Recommended) (Hand Tested) Power Supply: 750W Corsair TX (Dual SLI Compatible) Card Reader: - Not Available Hard Drive Set 1: Operating System: 1x (500GB Western Digital (16MB Cache) (7200 RPM) (SATA) Set 1 Raid Options: - Not Available Hard Drive Set 2: Multimedia\Data: - No Thanks Hard Drive Set 3: Backup\Misc.: - No Thanks Optical Drive 1: DVD±R/RW/CD-R/RW (DVD Writer 20x / CD-Writer 48x) Optical Drive 2: - No Thanks Internet Access: High Speed Network Port (Supports High-Speed Cable / DSL / Network Connections) Video Card: 1x NVIDIA GeForce GTX 275 896MB (Includes PhysX Technology) Add-on Card: - No Thanks Sound Card: Integrated Motherboard Audio Extreme Cooling: AIR: Stage 2: Noctua NH-U12P High Performance Cooler (Compatible With ONLY i7 Processors) Liquid Color:- Not Available Chassis Airflow: Standard Factory Chassis Fans Internal Lighting: Internal Chassis Lighting System (Blue) Enhancements: - Not Available Chassis Mods: - Not Available Boost Processor: Stage 1: Overclock the processor between 3.3GHz to 3.9GHz (Requires Air Cooling Upgrade) Boost Video Card: - Not Available Boost Memory: - Not Available Tweak Windows: - Not Available Windows OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Professional (64-Bit Edition) Restore Kit: Digital Storm Specialized Recovery System (DVD Image Based) Virus Protection: - Not Available Office: - Not Available Benchmarking: - Not Available Install/Test Game: - Not Available LCD Display: - No Thanks Surge Shield: - No Thanks Speakers: - Logitech 2 piece Keyboard: - microsoft desktop 3.0 (keyboard/mouse) Mouse: - No Thanks External Storage: - No Thanks Exclusive T-Shirt: - No Thanks Priority Build: - No Thanks, Ship Within 5-10 Business Days After Order Is Successfully Processed Warranty: 3 Year Platinum Care Extended Parts & Labor Warranty the above is $1873 or if you want dx11 support you change the 275 to 5850 and the price goes to $2027 Edited by DST4ME - 29 Nov 2009 at 8:24pm |
