Hi all:
So I need some advice on parts to use for my friend computer. I've assembled a computer before, and it's work really well, so I thought I'd come back for some more advice. This computer will be used for day-to-day activities as well as light gaming (World of Warcraft, League of Legends, ect).
His budget is $1500 (although I feel we could build one for a LOT cheaper).
Here's some notes:
CPU: Intel Core i7-3820 | http://www.amazon.com/dp/B006YM9JSW/?tag=tec06d-20
MB: Unsure (being able to upgrade in the future would be great, and obviously whatever is compatible with the CPU)
Graphics Card: It should be able to support 2 monitors, and again, we'll be playing video-games like starcraft and wow, so it has to be decent. I think around $200 would be good.
Power supply unit: Probably around 600 watts should suffice
Fan: Unsure, whatever's cheapest.
Keyboard: He wants a non-mechanical keyboard, but has lights(I know he's weird)
Mouse: No need, already has one
Monitors: If anyone knows some good deals on this, that'd be great. Preferably 2 monitors at resolution 1080p.
SSD: 128gb, again if anyone knows any good deals
HD: 1 TB (going for good deals)
Case: Trying to keep this under $100, but again he wants it "flashy" with lights(he wants it to look nice)
Wifi Adapter: I think I have this covered, but If anyone has any suggestions
Any help/hints would be appreciated. Thanks!
