I got these cheeseburgers man....
Posted by: MC LOL88
Hey guys, so anyway, after going on cyberpowerpc.com again, i got myself a build, but the only problem is that it costs 1500 WITHOUT monitor and mouse....
how can I get this to be cheaper without sacrificing performance? Also, is there anything that is either incompatible or unneccessary?
CAS:Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 Full Tower Gaming Case W/ Side Panel Window
(I know its an expensive case, but it has really good airflow, plus its aesthetically pleasing to the eye IMO. I would have to research another case before getting a cheaper one)
CD:24X Double Layer Dual Format DVD+-R/+-RW + CD-R/RW Drive
CPU:Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40 GHz 6MB Intel Smart Cache LGA1155
Could I possibly go for a lower processor without sacrificing my gaming experience?
FAN:Asetek 510LC Liquid Cooling System 120MM Radiator & Fan
FLASHMEDIA:INTERNAL 12in1 Flash Media Reader/Writer
HDD:1TB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 32MB Cache 7200RPM HDD
Downgrading the HDD to 500 only costs 20 bucks less...
IUSB:Built-in USB 2.0 Ports
MEMORY:8GB (2GBx4) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory
MOTHERBOARD: [CrossFireX] GIGABYTE GA-Z77-D3H Intel Z77 Chipset DDR3 ATX
Mainboard w/ IRST, Lucid Virtu MVP, Ultra Durable4 Classic, 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN,
2x Gen3 PCIe x16, 3x PCIe x1 & 2 PCI (Extreme OC Certified)
(Is this MOBO good? Its the cheapest I could find on cyberpower)
OS:Microsoft® Windows 7 Home Premium
POWERSUPPLY: 850 Watts - Cooler Master Silent Pro Hybrid 80 Plus Gold Power
Supply
SOFT:Microsoft Office 2010 Home and Student (Word, Excel, PowerPoint +
OneNote)
I have a question about openoffice.org....does it implement the same file types as MS office? I am also using this computer for at least the 4 years im in college, so this is really important
SOUND:Creative Labs SB Audigy SE PCI Sound Card
VIDEO:AMD Radeon HD 7850 2GB 16X PCIe 3.0 Video Card
PCI Wireless 802.11n 150Mbps Network Interface Card
Any help would be nice, the overall price of the build cant be more than 1500, which doesn't include the monitor for $170
If there is anyway i could slash off 170 dollars off the build, could you help me? You could drop the processor down a little and lose the CPU cooler, or you could just not overclock the processor a lot and drop the CPU cooler. The power supply seems like a bit much, unless you're gonna crossfire later on, and if you really need to save the money, just use OpenOffice or another free office program. The sound card can be added in later as well.
