Advice/opinions on new build

n-ster · Apr 22, 2010

not worth it for the 925 then I think... 1200$ AUD is a limited budget, so wasting the less money possible is cruciall... when I feel like it, I'll try to make you a build without looking at what you did, and then compare and suggest you what to do

Alright, so I have managed to do an i7 BUILD for 1312$

i7 920 - 289$
X58A-UD3R- 245$
3x2gb of Patriot 1600-- 207.55$ or 1066 Kingston for 179$
Windows 7 Home 64bit -- 109$
Lian-Li Lancool K60 --- 115$
HD 5770 msi or powercolor --- 169$
500gb Caviar Black --- 69$
Antec EarthWatts 650W (EA-650) ---- 108$

Total: 1312$ or 1283$

This build is very powerful... VERY, and has USB 3.0 and sata 6gbps

If you want a bit cheaper, while still having USB 3.0 and sata 6gbps, but going i5 750,

same as above but
222$ i5 750
139$ P55A-UD3
125$ 4gb DDR3 RAM

makes it 1056$

you could upgrade you HD to 1tb 64mb cache Sata 6gbps Caviar Black 129$ OR add a OCZ vertex 30gb 175$

total 1116$ or ~1230$

What do you think?

off-topic: I just realized I got a new star

Thats hell AWESOME!!!!
I'll deffinately be looking into that build u sugested.. i didnt think i could manage to squeeze an i7 or even i5 rig into that sort of price range. :toast:

Also is there much difference between 5770's with the v2 cooler and the sapphire vapor-x cooler for the 5770?
some review's show there being hardly any difference at all

idk, but what I know is that the 5770 is a very cool card... you could also upgrade to a 5850 instead of adding an SSD or the 1tb hard drive on that i5 750 build... it would give you ~1230$..

Actually, I think that is what you should do...

the i5 750 + HIS 5850 instead of 5770

I have the Lian Li v351 and it's awesome! I'd also go w/ the i5 750 or i7 860, just make sure you get a board that can do proper crossfire.

i agree with the 5850 video card, paired with i5 750 it would fly with colors through most games
i would cut down on the case or go with Phenom II X4 925 Deneb 2.8GHz which should be inexpensive just to have a decent quad core with 5850

Yea, I think the i5 750 + 5850 is the best way to go here
