anonymo March 15, 2012 Share anonymo Member March 15, 2012 So I had a slight breakdown over the weekend and so as part of my therapy I went and built this last night: Part list permalink / Part price breakdown by merchant CPU: Intel Core i7-2600K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($309.99 @ Amazon Canada) Motherboard: ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3 ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($134.69 @ DirectCanada) Memory: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($81.99 @ Newegg Canada) Hard Drive: Crucial M4 64GB 2.5" Solid State Disk ($91.99 @ Amazon Canada) Video Card: Asus Radeon HD 6870 1GB Video Card ($168.24 @ DirectCanada) Case: Antec One ATX Mid Tower Case ($45.99 @ Canada Computers) Power Supply: Corsair 650W ATX12V / EPS12V Power Supply ($89.99 @ Canada Computers) Total: $922.88 (Prices include shipping and discounts when available.) (Generated 2012-03-15 09:50 EDT-0400) Took me about 4 hours from opening packages to Windows start screen (which barely has enough time to flash on the screen before we're at the desktop) I've got a 2TB HD in there not listed - and I got the Corsair TX650M but for some reason it doesn't exist on the PCPartpicker website Scored a 7.6 on the Windows benchmark, held back by the CPU I had originally intended on purchasing the i5 2500k but wrote i5 2600k on the slip I handed the guy at the store so he rolled with it and I didn't realize until I was placing it in the CPU housing...OH WELL (yes, I purchased this all instore, like I was robbing the place with a handwritten note) So what did I miss? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Biggs March 15, 2012 Share Biggs GC Alumni March 15, 2012 Maybe a card reader or an after-market CPU cooler? Assuming you have all your peripherals as well.. Also, welcome back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The aftermarket CPU cooler is definitely something I looked at but for now I have no plans on OC'ing and there really isn't much room in that case for it (though I could get an external solution if I wanted), card reader is a good suggestion...I have nothing in my 5.25 bays...no LEDs, though the power LED is like a blue eye of sauren piercing the darkness of my room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
