Hey guys, I'm planning on buying this pc this weekend if all goes well..I just need to figure out what case/monitor I want haha. Anyways, feel free to share your thoughts! I am planning on doing crossfire 4850's thats why I have the x38 mobo, might buy more cooling later on.
If you know of any good deals that I could swap for these parts (PSU, etc) that would be great.
Case: XCLI Windtunnel - $100 (not set on this one)
PSU: Corsair 650W - $100
Motherboard: DFI LANPARTY DK X38-T2R - $185
CPU: Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 - $190
RAM: 4GB (2 x 2GB) G.SKILL DDR2 1066 (PC2 8500) - $90
Video: Asus Radeon HD 4850 - 512MB - $170
Storage: WD Caviar SE16 640GB - WD6400AKS - $95
CPU Cooler: Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro - $32
Monitor: Samsung 2493HM 24" 1920 x 1200 - $400
Total without monitor: $962
Total with monitor: $1362
If anyone has any opinions on cases and keyboards please share (I'm going to search for some soon). For keyboard I need something around $50 or less..for case I'm debating...might go with something really cheap < 80bucks or if I find one i really like, up to $150.
I'm also buying a cheap DVD Burner from somewhere.
Thanks a bunch!
EDIT: Oh, does anyone know when I would probably get the packages if I order today/tomorrow from NewEgg (UPS Guaranteed 3 day Service)? So...If I order tomorrow...would processing start Saturday? Or would it be monday...and then I'm not guaranteed the package till thursday?
I'm leaving for home for the 4th of July on Thursday..so I would need my package on Wednesday at the latest 🙁...or I could send it to my home address :S
