New Build
Hey, this new build will find its home next to the big screen in the living room. Not required to be excessively powerful but fancy looking and quality components are a must!....
This is my list so far, any thoughts & opinions welcome.
Case - Lian Li PC-A04
Not sure if i want to go for a full HTPC case. I really like the look of this one.
MoBo - Asus P8Z68-M Pro m-ATX
CPU - Intel Core i5-2500k 3.3GHz Quad Core Processor
CPU Cooler - Corsair Cooling Hydro Series H40
RAM - Corsair 2x2GB(XMS3) 1600MHz
PSU - Corsair 650W "Corsair" HX-650 ATX Power Supply, 80 PLUS BRONZE Certified, Modular Cabling.
SSD - OCZ Vertex 3 120GB
HDD - WD Caviar Blue 1TB
Sound Card - Creative X-Fi Xtreme Audio PCIe
ODD - LG SATA Blu-ray Combo Drive
Fans & Lighting - Blue 120mm LED fans x3 & Blue internal NEON light
All that will cost me about $1300. Would it be worth while to spend more for an "Ivy Bridge" system?
Feedback very welcome!
Thanks
