First build, with changes. Get the [url=http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813130583&cm_re=g43-_-13-130-583-_-Product]G43[/url] instead of the Extreme4. Same PCI-E speed for dual-cards but you lose right angle sata. [url=http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811119233&Tpk=haf%20912]HAF 912[/url] over the Centurion. [url=http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371026&cm_re=750w_power_supply-_-17-371-026-_-Product]EA750w[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822152185&Tpk=spinpoint%20f3]Spinpoint F3[/url] 5 bucks more. [url=http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150523]6950 1GB[/url] [url=http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827106289]LiteON DVD Burner[/url] $1 cheaper, free shipping. If I added right, these changes are only ~$50 more than what you originally had and you get better performance
Don't go with the second build, first build is much better Armotekma has more or less the right idea. The F3 Spinpoint offers similar performance and double the storage for the same price You picked a pretty good PSU but if you go with a 6950 make sure you have at least 650w And the mobo is way too high end for your budget. [editline]26th May 2011[/editline] And I have a similar monitor as the one in the first build, it's great [editline]26th May 2011[/editline] You could also go with a 560 Ti (similar price/performance to a 6950) or a 6870/6850 if you want to save some money there
Thanks for the suggestion Armotekma!
First build is Sandybridge. So yes, first build.
