Hello all,
Some time ago I created a thread asking for advice on a PC build, sadly that oppurtunity never came around.
However, now I have another chance and will have the money in a week or 2 to start my build.
I have already bought some parts and left the tricky ones til last, was hoping you kind people would go over my build and see if there are any compatibilty issues or if I can have better components for same price or cheaper.
Now to the build.
Parts I already have......
Case Lian Li PC 7FW
Hard Drive 500GB Caviar Blue
Ram OCZ 6GB PC3-12800C8 DDR3 1600Mhz £135
I also have a Pioneer DVD RW and Windows 7 Professional Edition.
I have around £860 left to spend and this is what I come up with......
MOBO Asus P6T SE £150
PSU Corsair 650W Modular £93
Processor i7 920 D0 £209
CPU Cooler Prolimatech Megahalems Super 6 Heatpipe £42
Graphics 1GB XFX HD 5870 XT £352
I'm hoping I haven't missed anything lol.
I'm also after recommendations for fans to go with this set up. I have a blue LED fan with the case, 140mm I believe, and 1 x 120mm at the rear of case.
I would like to have maybe Red LEDs fans for case and 1 or 2 plain black or Red LEDs for the CPU cooler.
My only main concern is fans and whether the Motherboard is best I can get without spending much more. Also how could I forget, the Power supply, if it's enough and will work fine with everything. Not to up on Rails etc.
Many Thanks and any help or advice is really appreciated.
Side note, I'll be gaming on both a 40 in LCD and an NEC monitor 24in both and 1080p.
I'll get to overclocking once the build is up and running. Thanks again.
