Hey folks,
Since I have a real job now, I am ready for a intel build.
This will replace my current machine that has been a good workhorse always on rig... but has slowed done some over the last 2 years.
Here's what I need recommendations for:
1. CPU - need to keep it close to $300... as fast and as many cores that money will buy - i7/i5? Since I havent ever built intel, am not very familiar with the current chips. do plan to OC some, on air... if there are unlocked, ready/easy to OC chips... that would be awesome.
2. MOBO - anything good with options to OC, voltage changes etc.
3. SSD - Something for the OS to boot up from. Something in the 80-100 gig range, I guess with TRIM.
4. RAM - Good OCable RAM - ?6gigs
5. A good compatible CPU cooler.
6. Case - Looking at the 800 Obsidian series or the HAF 922/932.
7. PSU - Was thinking something like HX 750?
Many Thanks in advance...
