Your $900 rig - EDevil - 05-04-2014 Simple, you'll get 900 bucks. What parts would you buy? This includes;
Please make a little description about your system in your post. This could include the use of the system, why you choose the parts, etc. [EDIT] After discovering that 700 euros isn't 700 dollars, i bumped the price up to 900 USD. This to hit a price point where we can see a lot of original combinations, rather than the same stuff over and over again. RE: Your $900 rig - EDevil - 05-04-2014 Template you can use Code: Case: ... RE: Your $900 rig - EDevil - 05-04-2014 Case: Fractal Design Define R4 Pearl Black - € 83,95 Motherboard: ASRock 970 Pro3 R2.0 - € 55,55 CPU: AMD FX-6300 Black Edition - € 88,94 RAM: Kingston HyperX KHX1600C9D3B1K2/8GX - € 60,04 GPU: Asus GTX650TI-1GD5 - € 112,- Storage: Samsung 840 EVO 250GB - € 120,50 PSU: be quiet! Pure Power L8 630W CM - € 75,60 Extra's: Scythe Mugen 4 PCGH Edition - € 36,50 Total: € 633,08 (aka $877,58) This case was designed with "A good all-rounder that's been made with a strong focus on silent operation" in mind. Why i went with these parts: - Case: Nice (cheap?) case that has a lot of possibilities, yet extremely quiet and slick. Includes 2 very quiet fans. - Motherboard: Good brand with decent chipset on the AM3+ socket. This was also one of the cheapest boards that had angled SATA ports, a must have in every case imo. - CPU: w/ Price to performance this thing is a beast. That simple. - RAM: Nice Kingston 2x4GB kit. Why the heck wouldn't you go for Kingston? - GPU: Nice GPU that i managed to fit within the budget. - Storage: I was debating whether i should go for a 128GB evo and HDD, or just 250GB. I went for the 250GB. I have my NAS on the network, so i'll store most of my shit there. Yet again, you could take this configuration and do something completely different with it. Storage configurations are really a personal thing imo. - PSU: Awesome power supply that's really quiet, modulair and future ready with this system. - Extra: I included a kickass CPU cooler with this build. This because i want the system to be silent, and perhaps a bit overclockable? Anyhow, the price / performance of this thing is just nuts. Buy it. Now. RE: Your $900 rig - greatgamer34 - 05-04-2014 http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3DVfr Here she is. Just a tad over $900 but when you subtract the rebates its the best PC a person could buy. This is designed so the CPU can get a good OC!
