Welcome to the forum...
If you PM me your email address I can work you up a complete build @ the egg and email you the cart. I can do that in my sleep. Does the $1500 need to cover monitor/mose/kb? |
no AMD please
cpu 920 2xx$ mobo evga ftw x58 2xx$ ram 1600 c7s corsair 2xx$ vc evga 480s 4xx$ ssd 128gb wd 199$ psu hx850 1xx$ viewsonic 27inch 3xx |
i was thinking about the 460 the other night
i think that will be my gpu Here is the Gpu http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130562 |

The 1500.00 has to include everything mobo,cpu,ram,h/d,k/b,mouse,tower,psu,monitor
i mean everything i dont need to sli 2 video cards just one good card will do the job |
The EVGA deals were for b stock items that only have 90 day warranty and are board only. Also, all MCs are sold out of 920s, just the $200 930s left.
For rendering the AMD X6 Thuban really could be better for him. It depends if he intends to OC, what cooling he uses, how much or what he is rendering etc... But when the app uses all cores the 1090T can beat the 920/930. Two options would be, 1090T + Corsair 850HX for $420 AR http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.432027 Gig 890FXA-UD5 + Antec 900 $235 AR http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.435405 Gskill Eco 4gb 1600s $105 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-321-_-Product Mushkin Calisto 60Gb SSD $160 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-151-_-Product Gigabyte 5850 OC $280 AR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...-318-_-Product WD 1tb Black $95 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...3&Tpk=WD%201tb About $1300, add a monitor Or for Intel swap board, vid card, and ram to a combo like this, http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.448451 $590 AR i7 930 plus Corsair 950TX $385 AR http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboD...t=Combo.431967 At $~1250 with same drives from above, just pick a case and your monitor. |
I would not rule out AMD for a gamer...for sure he can build a great rig for less money going that route. How AMD fares with the other tasks I will have to defer to someone else's expertise.
For just gaming I am a Dual Core junkie myself. My i5 670 is just fantastic at everything I have thrown at it. I much prefer it to the 920 it replaced. With the current GTX 280's sli'd or a 5870 alone it is a beauty to use for my 24/7/gamer. |
cowboy I would stick to a 930 if you are going i7, you wont get any higher on water/air with the higher multiplier.
I agree with rick, p55 and i661 is really an awesome rig and less expensive. Spend the extra on a gtx-480 or 5870 with the high res monitor. |
if interested I have a 960 i am gonna throw on ebay.... send me a PM if interested :thumbsup:
