***UPDATED INTEL BUILD ON PAGE 2**** I think i'll be going with the Intel based on recommendations
K so,
One of my machines in my office is dieing and needs to be upgraded. I haven't put together a box in a few years, but there's no way I'm ordering a dell.
Here is what I've put together with a little research, please advise!
Processor:
AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition Deneb 3.2GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor $189.00
Mobo:
ASUS M4A785TD-V EVO AM3 AMD 785G HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail $99.99
Memory:
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMD4GX3M2A1600C8 $129.99
HD
Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive 64.99
Power supply:
OCZ ModXStream Pro OCZ600MXSP 600W ATX12V V2.2 / EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Modular Active PFC 79.99
Case:
LIAN LI Lancool PC-K7B Black Aluminum/ SECC ATX Mid Tower Computer Case $79.99
$639 total cost
I can swap out some components for cheaper ones if there isn't a significant price change, but it's a computer that I would want to last for many years to come so I don't mind spending a bit more on a quality component.
What do you guys think??
*edit* edited based on suggestions.. how is it now?
*edited* swapped for a 640 32MB catch hd, I don't really have a need for 1 TB.
*edit* swapped for the same mobo in ATX
