If I know my math correctly that's under $1200. That's my budget. Note that its not a gaming focused PC per say. An all rounder.
Any comments, help? First PC build.
No after-market heatsink?
Got the Corsair H80i on route.
My mouth is watering. Though I don't recommend OCZ SSDs that much. You should have gone A-Data or Kingston
Really is it that good?
I'm going for that particular SSD because PCIe. Making it Read & write upto 1 GB/s without tweaking. Plus I'm going to have the kingston be Cache drive for my HDD. This way I get the best of both worlds.
Find a cheaper motherboard and get a CPU Cooler
CPU cooler is on the way settled for the Corsair H80i.
Any recommendations? On the motherboard I mean.
he already said he'll get an H80i
Well, I wouldn't cheap out on the mobo too much, because I believe you plan on an OC. Cheap mobos can't take the OC. If you have the money, that mobo is fine.
Oh, and I didn't notice the SSD was PCI-E. Should be fine
I know, I just wanted to know where he was going to with that cheaper motherboard suggestion.
