The Time Has Come!I've managed to finally save up enough to finally build a
real PC.
I'm probably going to start ordering parts this week, so I was wondering what you guys think of my build, and if you have any suggestions.
My build will be:
HARDWARE:
Case: SilverStone Fortress FT02-W-USB3.0 (Yes, I know it's an old-ish case, but I love the rotated motherboard! And the fact that it opens on the right side of the case and not the left, which is perfect for how my computer sits next to my desk.
🙂 )
CPU: AMD FX-8350
Mobo: Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z (Of course :P)
PSU: Corsair AX760i
GPU: My XFX HD7950 will be immigrating to the new build.
RAM: Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (2x8) @ 1866 MHz
SSD: Kingston HyperX 3K 240GB
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB
CPU Cooler: I'm thinking of a Corsair H80i (But I've also heard that the Thermalright Silver Arrow SB-E Extreme out-performs the H80, so I was wondering if anyone has any suggestions.)
Fans: Two Noctua NF-F12's for the CPU cooler (I'll keep the three 180mm fans at the bottom of the case.)
Optical Drive: Asus Internal 24X DVD Burner (Does anyone know if it's worth it to buy a slim DVD drive and the SilverStone slim bay w/ 4 SSD slots???)
OS: Windows 8 Pro (I have a $15 coupon for Win8 since I bought a Win7 HP laptop last June)
ACCESSORIES:
Monitor: My ViewSonic 22 inch 1080p monitor
🙂Mouse: I'm thinking of buying a G9X... Probably once I re-fill my coffers a bit
😛Keyboard: I really have no idea what to buy there... I want mechanical... And I think Black Switches are the most suited to my taste... But I'm not sure at all... So I'll stick to my Logitech Internet 350 for now...
