Finally upgrading from my 2008 build (yup...2008...).
Will be keeping from old system:
HDs
CPU cooler (Noctua NH-12F...brackets ordered)
PSU (Corsair TX750...older version)
Win7....it's the OEM version...understand I just need to call and tell them I'm changing out motherboards, correct? (have disks to install over cleaned HD)
All will be "stuffed" into the TJ09...
Enroute: Hero VII
Need: Ram...leaning Mushkin Blacklines at 2133...2x4GB. Is the difference in 1600/1866/2133 big enough to worry about moving up to 2133 aside from e-penis measuring? Price difference is only $15 or so it seems..sooo...
-i5 4690K
And then...then there's the graphics card. Was leaning to the 960 to keep in the overall budget (ie, graphics card will be around 200). Looks like a used 280x is easy to come by in that range as well, though. Easy call to the 280x? Obviously either is a huge upgrade over the gtx275 currently being used. Others to look at?
Am I forgetting anything?
