| Chroniczaaa said: So if I can get a job as quickly as possible when i turn 16 in May I was thinking of buying and building my own gaming computer, if anyone here can help me out i want to make sure all of these parts are 100% compatible together. Motherboard - Intel® - Media Series ATX Motherboard 1066/1333MHz (Socket 1155) CPU - Intel® - Core™ i7-2600 Quad-Core 3.4GHz Processor GPU - PNY - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 570 1.25GB GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 Graphics Card HD - Western Digital - 320GB Internal Hard Drive for Desktops DVD - HP - 24x Internal Double-Layer DVD±RW/CD-RW Drive Ram - Corsair - 4GB XMS CL 9 DDR3 DIMM Desktop Memory Power Supply - Corsair - 4GB XMS CL 9 DDR3 DIMM Desktop Memory Wireless Card - Visiontek - Bigfoot Networks Killer 2100 Gaming Network CardI dont know what the hell to look for in a wifi card but oh well picked that one just for now. With case and monitor the computer comes out to about $1600 with tax so thats not too bad since alienwares with similar specs are like $2000 with no tax so fuck prebuilts. If you have any recommendations on anything to replace because either im getting ripped off or just not looking hard enough then please reply to me and help out. |
Where are you located? You should be able to build a good i7 rig for less than $1600 if you go through Newegg. Also, you have listed your power supply as RAM. I would recommend the corsair 650W unless you plan on getting a second graphics card, in which case get the 750W.
Why a 320 gig HDD? Cost? A 1TB WD Caviar black is around $90, seems like a better way to go for a gaming rig thats probably going to have numerous installs on it.
Not sure about the specs on that mobo, looks like it only supports RAM speeds of up to 1333 MHz which matches the ram you have listed. I'm sure you should be abel to find cheaper 1333 MHz RAM as well, but you may want to look into getting a mobo that will support 1600 MHz RAM for future upgrading.
Everything else looks good, that processor is probably overkill for a gaming rig tho. I think a sandy bridge i5 would perform just as well for $100 less.
