Total cost $2771.56 with shipping and handling. Can't wait till my new G license come in. Then I can start my $18 an hour job.
 
:eek:

$2771 for that? Where are you buying this?

I mean, I doubt it would be any better than the one you're trying to sell.
 
Many of those parts seem to be either cringe-worthy, overkill for what you need, a waste of money, or simply baffling. A dream system? With an FX 8150, 1000W PSU, and a Radeon 6570? What kind of drugs are you on? I don't know if I could make a system that makes less sense than yours if I tried.

I'm not even going to start on the pricetag.
 
No No this is going to be like 6 months to a year before I before I build it. So it may even change even. Im just keeping a good out look and looking forward to the day I have money coming in again. Plus I know some items I can find cheaper.
 
you're in the USA, so I will just lay it out flat for you. In a 2000+ budget, you should be getting either the 3820 or 2500k with 16GB RAM, a SSD, HD7970 or GTX680 and a quality case, PSU, HDD, and cooler.

Keep the idea rolling. and what is wrong with 32GB ram?
 
But where did you get that price? And i see plenty of things on there that should change now, mainly, corsair cx600 would save a lot, intel i7-2600k, and a 5770/6770 at least. Seriously though, you could order all of that off of newegg for like 1200 give or take like 200, just guesstimated, probably closer to 900 if you made some changes.

It was all done off of TigerDirect. But Im more of a AMD fan then the Intel.
 
a motherboard with 8 slots costs like 500, and 32gb's (8gb x 4) would cost like 200, and nothing needs that much, maybe the most intense CAD on the panet.

That MotherBoard can have up to 8GB per slot with 4 slot to play with. That were I got the 32GB.
 

The cost was with Shipping and handling added in plus all the taxes. And Im sure I took out the keyboard,mouse, and speaker it will drop the cost even more.

Intel would be better right now for both overall performance and price/performance, in every price range except for the very bottom in certain scenarios (APU). However, if you wanted to go AMD, just know that you would be paying more for less.
 
And do Wolfe's advise. You can build one mean machine for $2500.

This will play as well as the 6-core phenom II build you had in your other thread. The graphics card is holding it back severely.
 

and you could save 60 on the psu, or use that one and get 2 GTX680's, which would put you 935 higher, but still under what you said. And really, the intel i7-2600k kills the 8150, i don't think it looses at a single thing to the 8150
 
I took out the Windows 7,keyboard,mouse,and speakers and it took off only $720 from the over all cost for a new total of $2051 and without shipping (ground) it is $1851.

If I took out the 32gb ram it would bring it down to $1571 and with your added in too.

What kind of graphics card should I get if I cant sell my computer? The card I got right now let me play everything on max setting with no lag. Games like WoW,Fallout3 & 4, Final Fantasy 13 online.
