Hey!
Would anyone be able to recommend me the best components for a budgeted i7 build?
I would like to stay under $900 (w/ tax + shipping) if possible, but the lower the better, for these parts:
i7 920
Mobo
DDR3 1600 Memory (6gb preferred, but I'll be fine with 3gb)
Decent PSU (preferably modular, but not necessary)
If you want to factor in a decent graphics card (Performing equal to or better than a 4870 1GB), that can be added to the budget, but staying under $1100 shipped w/ tax (7%) to Central New Jersey.
FYI: I have Amazon Prime (free shipping) and Newegg charges 7% tax.
If the above requests are unreasonable for good/decent quality components, please advise as to what kind of cost would be more reasonably associated with this kind of build...
