Solve : Building a New Comp? |

Answer» Hey guys
In regards to your 2nd point, i was thinking of getting the Crucial M500, however i can't find it in the catalogue (as i'm buying everything from that shop). And so i had to find an alternative to the Crucial M500 (which i'm still not sure about, settled Intel 520 mSATA3 for now). I'll switch out the PSU, however the Corsair RM650 costs 50$ more than the Thermaltake. Would it be better just lowering the wattage to 650 and just keeping the thermaltake. I'll also most likelyswitch the 4770 to the 4770K. However, this OVERALL increases the total cost. Ahh yeah, that parts list is pretty limited. However you'd be fine with either the "Samsung 840 EVO Series SATA3" or one of the Plextor ones - Those are both a bit cheaper than the Intel one.You're describing a pretty high performance system but you have not described how you intend to use this computer. Some comments on your intended use would be helpful in understanding your objective with the build project. I was wondering about the keyboard. I can't imagine spending $109 on a keyboard. Quote SSD: Intel 530 mSATA3 240Gb $253You can add that later. Expect price to come down.Oh, so an SSD can come later? I'm intending to use build it as a gaming computer, but also including the functions of working and researching/browsing.Geek ...why would he add it later when the real benefits of an SSD are to have the OS and important apps installed to it ? ? I'm puzzled.

In that time the price will DROP. I don't think that's the issue, i can build it quite soon. 1week tops. Quote from: Geek-9pm on April 20, 2014, 10:37:15 AM It will take him awhile to build it. In that time the price will drop. I give up...no logic at all. Quote from: YoItsOwen on April 20, 2014, 10:38:54 AM I don't think that's the issue, i can build it quite soon. 1week tops.Yeah, you can always add an SSD later but with your budget there is no reason to do this, the benefit that it will give is massive, would be silly not to get it from the start, not to mention that any price drop will be very small nowadays unless you wait a really long time. As far as the keyboard goes - I wouldn't bother with that one. I'm not against spending a lot of money on a keyboard but the one you picked uses a regular "rubber dome" mechanism so you are spending a lot of money for what is essentially a very basic keyboard with fancy buttons and lights. If you are willing to spend that much, look into getting a "mechanical" keyboard such as one of the Corsair Vengeance ones or a Coolermaster CM Storm. These mechanical switches feel significantly better than a regular keyboard and are much more reliable and longer lasting. There are a bunch of different types of switches defined by their "colour" - The most common types are 'blue', 'brown' and 'red' and are described here: http://www.keyboardco.com/blog/index.php/2012/12/an-introduction-to-cherry-mx-mechanical-switches/. In short, blues are best for typing but are very loud and clicky, reds are best for gaming but not much for typing, brown is a great balance of both so are good for both typing and gaming. Of course you can always buy a basic keyboard now and do research into a fancier one later on, but I wouldn't spend any more than say $60 on a non-mechanical keyboard.Ignore this, no idea how I managed to create another post! Mod - Feel free to delete!A 120 GB SSD now at $80. And falling. Quote from: Geek-9pm on April 20, 2014, 03:36:17 PM A 120 GB SSD now at $80. And falling.Your point being? If you always wait for the price to get lower you'll never end up buying anything! |
