Hi guys, It's is time for me to upgrade my pc and have decided to go with a i5 750 over a i7 920 due to cost. Unless someone can influence me other wise.
My needs are basic gaming, encoding bd, HDTV playback, music and multi tasking.
This is my first pc build in years and have been a longtime luker of these forums. So i'm planing to purchase over this weekend and came up with a few items. But nothing is set in stone just yet. Before I start droping cash out on a new build. I figure I can get some final input over some guy that don't know nothing about pc in the store.
OK the goods Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB (already have) $100
2x OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX30GXXX 2.5" 30GB $280
Prolimatech Megahalems Rev.B $70
Radeon HD 4670 1GB $70 (already have)
Core i5-750 $200
GA-P55-UD3R $145
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB 7-7-7-24 $140
CORSAIR CMPSU-400CX 400W $54 (already have)
I will be using W7 32 bit for the os. Will be doing a mild oc to it only expecting 3.5-4.0GHz as ths psu is only 400w for now.
The only thing I know is that I want a i5 core. The mb, mem, cpu cooler are all those good choices? Vertex will be ran in raid 0 for the os and the tb drive for other stuff.
