well hope u all been kicking back cos if ya aint got 1 yet, then it s been a fkn long wait 4 me! hahaha
yeah that case is pretty damn AWESOME me thinks! hehe
Pitty u dont have it sitting correctly cos the arrows are supposed to pointin' up !
yep Z68 chipset is pretty much wher its currently at. still have choice of 2500/2600 cpu's . if u need to overclock then get the K version slightly dearer like $20 or so and if u need to save money get the 2500 cos its about $100 cheaper.
motherboards - get what stuff u need on them. pretty much all the latest asus and gigabyte full size atx ones will over clock sweet and the lower end ones tend not to support sli or x fire modes if u need to run dual vid cards .seems prices are down a bit these days
gigabyte Z68xp-UD3 has heaps of features , overclocks well can run sli /x fire is only $153 pretty sweet.
ram is cheap 8gb for well under $100 of high quality stuff g skil corsair kingston etc
vid cards well do u want to play games if so get some thing good value for around $260 nvidia GTX 560Ti or Radeon HD6950
if u dont want to play games the xp chipset on the mother board will do quite well letting u use the onboard graphics.
it sll pretty much the same as when i built my latest putey a few months back just all a little bit cheaper and slightly newer z68 chipset
these new core i7 2500/2600 cpus play games fkn mint thats what they do best, and also video stuff as well .
could build a great box for 1k, even cheaper without vid card ie no games
after my rant have ya actually got one yet?
cheers
