I got the eVGA 670 FTW edition for under $300 (On sale for $350 & I sold the bundled in game currency for $60 on ebay)

This is my build that I finished yesterday! Not including the monitor, Sound Card, or Wireless card, it was right at $1100 after finding sale prices! A cheaper motherboard might be better, but i decided to splurge on it lol. And the gtx 670 ftw is one hell of a graphics card. CPU: i5-3570k -...

I got a 1TB Western Digital Caviar Blue for $53 on sale and i am very pleased.

I got a 24" Asus 1080P Monitor with 2ms response time on sale for $130. Idk if that is cheap enough for you but it is really nice for the price!

I know that I should install the OS and any games that I am going to use frequently. What about things like my sound card, wireless card, and other hardware installations? Will it speeds things up to install them onto the SSD over the HD? Thanks

There are two types of water cooling (in general). One where the coolant is already in the system and it just reuses it over and over. This is much safer, although will not be quite as good. The other method is to have cold water coming from an outside source and pumped back out. This is much...

Sorry to thread steal, but why do you guys not like the AsRock extreme4? From reviews on newegg, amazon, and pc sites it seems like it is a great board for the price (I got it for $75, retails $140).

I am currently building my own as well, and thus not an expert, but this is what I have gathered from research and other's comments: CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k 3.4Ghz LGA 1155 Motherboard: AsRock Z77 Extreme4 LGA 115 ATX Intel HD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 7,200RPM 64MB Cache HD: Samsung...

I'm doing a build and I can get either (retail version!) at my school for only $55... which would be better? 7 ultimate or 8 pro? Thanks!

no, there is a $10 off code on the product page. so $30

you can get Corsair 500 builder series PSU for $30 right now on Newegg :) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139027

Ok thanks for the input guys. I do have a nice set of 5.1 Klipsch speakers so I think I'll go for a slightly more expensive card!

How much power do I need? i5 3570k, 2GB gtx 670 FTW / 2GB gtx 660, 8GB RAM. Probably going to SLIGHTLY overclock (4Ghz) but will probably never SLI/Crossfire. Whats a good amount I should be going for? Just asking because obviously a lower amount saves me $$$ lol. I can get a corsair...

I'm gathering parts for my first build. Been buying parts on sale for awhile now. Entire build (with monitor) will be ~$1000. CPU: i5 3570k Motherboard: AsRock z77 Extreme 4 Graphics: GTX 670 FTW RAM: Corsair 8GB (2x4) Vengeance Storage: WD 500 GB Caviar Blue Storage: Samsung 840 120GB SSD CPU...

Im debating the cost vs performance when it comes to buying a graphics card. My system is going to have i5 3750k, 8GB RAM, and SSD. From past experience, I prefer Nvidia over AMD. I can get either: GTX 660 2GB Overclock:$140 (retail $230) GTX 670 2GB FTW: $300 (retail $475) Now I...

I do have a nice pair of Turtle Beach Headphones... So I guess even a cheap sound card would help. What general performance should I expect from the system that I posted? Will I be able to play any current game on decent settings?

Thanks for the replies guys. So my modified list is: CPU: Intel Core i5 3570k 3.4Ghz LGA 1155 Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H HD: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 7200RPM 16MB Cache SSD: Samsung 840 Series MZ-7TD120BW 120GB SATA 6.0Gb/s RAM: Corsair Vengence Series 8GB DDR3-1600...

Thanks for the quick response! I agree with the CPU, but the reason I'm thinking the i7 is because Microcenter has Intel Core i7 3770k 3.5Ghz for only $229.99 (In store only) which is about what I can get the i5 3570K for! Same for the motherboard. ASRock Z77 Extreme4 is about the same...

Hello, I am going to undertake my first build and need some advice as to whether the components I selected will be adequate and if any part would need changing. I'm looking to make a gaming ready computer that is within a reasonable budget. These parts would come up to about $1100 from the...
