Hello Everyone...
Well it has been a long time since I built a gaming PC and now I am in the process of getting the list of parts and pieces I will use to make my D3 machine. :laugh:
I will have $$$ burning my pockets as I head back to Afghanistan again, luckily for me this time for only three weeks.
SO...
Since I have been out of the PC building arena for a while, I have put the following list of items together (SEE BELOW ATTACHED THUMBNAIL)
I have also decided to O.C. this build so I will be including a CORSAIR H-100 water cooling system for just over $100.
Also, Im thinking about trying to future proof my investment by upgrading to SLI later, so I was thinking about possibly upgrading the PSU to either the larger 1200AX or the coolermaster 1200 SPG (Silent Pro Gold).
I have not done the numbers, so I dont know if the 850 will support the dual cards in SLI.
As for the SSD, I have been looking at the OCZ 64GB model, but there are alot of complaints about reliability. Are the newer Intel 520's really that much better? What is the price difference?
If you have ANy other items you think I may have overlooked, please chie in, I want all the items I need sitting at home waiting for me to get back and build my system and get cracking playing D3!!!
Look forward to everyones Ideas!
Cheers!
