Sorry about the awful format of that post.

FlyingIrishMan

I can't make heads or tails of what price everything is, what site are you ordering it of?
If you want to save some money you can get a lower watt PSU, 750W wouldn't be needed.
Perhaps get 1600Mhz RAM, and not sure why but people here seem to recommend ASRock motherboards over the Gigabyte ones.

AlmightyCushion

Is that m4 €122.44? That's a bit expensive, amazon have it cheaper.

TeddyTedson

Sorry I'll redo this thread in a while. It's an awful layout
I was ordering off dabs.ie though.

ShadowHearth

please redo prices lol, and where are you ordering it from?

Better overall build and cheaper:

Item|Price
Total build cost: €1,570.27 + €30 shipping
Intel Core i5-2500K Box, LGA1155|€197.91
Thermalright HR-02 Macho|€33.89
ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen3, Sockel 1155, ATX|€119.99
8GB-Kit G.Skill PC3-10667U CL9|€33.65
Powercolor HD7970 3072MB DDR5|€506.24
Crucial M4 64GB SSD 6,4cm (2,5")|€92.99
Samsung SpinPoint F3 1000GB, SATA II (HD103SJ)|€109.90
Samsung SH-222AB bare schwarz SATA|€15.58
FRACTAL DESIGN Gehäuse DEFINE XL Black Pearl|€128.76
XFX PRO750W Core Edition Full Wired Power Supply|€84.57
Dell UltraSharp U2412M (schwarz)|€246.79


-Much better cooler
-Slightly motherboard
-Swapped the 2x6950s for a 7970. Its only slight worse performance wise, but uses much less power, and still allows to you crossfire a second 7970 if you should ever need it.
-Much much better case
-Much better hard drive
-Cheaper RAM, same performance
-Cheaper PSU, just as good
-Cheaper and much better monitor

Overall a better build and €150 cheaper than the above.

Thanks for that. I want to make this thread again but can't find the "table" symbol anywhere:o:confused:


Why do you suggest that monitor instead out of interest?

Serephucus

The monitor deconduo suggested is an IPS display. This means far, far better viewing angles, increased contrast - one of the few monitors that actually has 1000:1 - and a more uniform panel in terms of light/black levels.

Overall, it's just better. :P I have a very similar one myself (U2410), and I upgraded from a similar TN panel monitor (2208WFP). Sufficed to say, I'm never going back.

Pretty much this. As monitors go, its one of the best priced IPS ones that you can get.
