Hey guys, new member here and I joined mainly cause of how knowledgable most people are here on the forums. I just wanted to throw my build out there and see what you guys thought of it. This will be my first ever build of a desktop. So, without further ado.
Motherboard - BIOSTAR TP67XE (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
CPU - Intel Core i5-2500K Sandy Bridge 3.3GHz (3.7GHz Turbo Boost) LGA 1155 95W Quad-Core Desktop Processor BX80623I52500K
GPU - EVGA 01G-P3-1371-TR GeForce GTX 460 (Fermi) 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
Memory - G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL
Power Supply - RS-Series RS650 (CGR R-650) 650W ATX12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
HDD - Western DigitalA Caviar Blue WD1600AAJS 160GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive
DVD/CD - LITE-ON DVD Burner - Bulk Black SATA Model iHAS124-04 - OEM
Case - Antec Three Hundred Illusion Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Total : $748.00
All of these items priced via Newegg.com
The main thing I have been going back and forth on is the GPU. I wanted to keep the hardware under 700$ but for me to be able to play the latest games at pretty good quality I decided to bump up the capability of my GPU to a GTX460. I was going for a cheap 60$ ATI Radeon but just did not want to get caught playing games at low-medium settings with almost no AA turned on.
I also did not want to cheap out on my motherboard. So upped the cost of that from around 80$ to 130$.
So what do you guys think? Will this, for example, be able to play Skyrim at High - Very High Settings with atleast 8xAA?
I will be buying my old friends extra monitor and his Windows 7 Pro 64-Bit for a combined 50$.
Thanks for all replies guys!
