Building a rig for a mate
Hey all,
My mates just about to shell out £1300 for a top end rig.
This is what we've picked out between us:
Mobo:
EVGA nForce 780i SLI nForce 780i (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard (132-CK-NF78-A1)
CPU:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9550 LGA775 'Yorkfield' 2.83GHz 12MB-cache (1333FSB) Processor - Retail
RAM:
OCZ 4GB (2x2GB) PC2-6400C4 800MHz Reaper HPC Enhanced Bandwidth Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2RPR800C44GK)
)
GPU:
Leadtek GeForce GTX 280 1024MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail
PSU:
Corsair TX 750W ATX2.2 SLI Compliant PSU
HDD:
Western Digital Caviar Blue 640GB SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (WD6400AAKS)
)
DVDRW:
Asus DRW-2014L1T 20x DVD±RW SATA Dual Layer Lightscribe ReWriter (Black/Silver) - Retail
Mouse/Keyboard:
Logitech Cordless Desktop Wave (920-000280)
Case:
Antec Nine Hundred Ultimate Gaming Case
Screen:
Samsung SM-226CW 22" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Glossy Black
That list is making me green with envy lol. And I'm the one that has to build it for him!!
Total comes to around £1270, which is pretty good!
We're going to shop around the likes of ebuyer/scan/misco etc, see if we can shave off £60 or so.
What you think? Anything we should change?
Thanks!
