All right, I am piecing together a gaming rig for a friend. I live in Canada so no states pricing. Gaming will be done at 1920x1080, would like to futureproof as much as the $1000 budget allows. Need everything but a keyboard/mouse, monitor, and OS.
I have been looking at the following:
1. Intel I5 750 - $220
2. Asus P7P55D LE - $135
3. Antec Three Hundred Tower - $58
4. Powercolor 5850 - $300
5. OCZ ModXStream Pro 700W - $65
6. OCZ OCZ3OB1600LV6GK 6GB - $137.50
7. WD 500GB Caviar Black - $57.99
8. Random DVD burner - $30
Total: $1003.49
The system will not be overclocked at first. Possibly later on down the road but i believe it will be stock for the time being. Is the 700W power supply enough for a 5850 and a i5? Am i missing anything? Anything you would change out?
Thanks everyone.
