Need help--Building advice
Posted: 11 Aug 2013, 12:51
Hi there,
I need serious help,I am try to build a gaming/all round pc and my budget is R18700 can stretch maybe to
R19000,but that would be the absolute limit.
My plan was the following:
CPU:Intel Core i5 3570k (LGA1155)
Motherboard:Gigabyte Z77-UD5H
RAM:8GB Geil Evo Corsa 2133mhz
Graphics Card:2GB MSI N650ti Boost Edition Overclocked
Monitor:BenQ RL2240H 21.5 inch
Storage:1xWestern Digital Caviar Black 2TB 7200 Rpm (WD2002FAEX)+
1xSeagate Barracuda 3TB 7200Rpm(ST3000DM001)
Case:Cooler Master HAF912 Plus
PSU:Cooler Master Silent Pro 800w
CPU Cooler:Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO
Optical Drives: 2x LG 24x SATA DVD Writers
OS:Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
My plan was to be able at least be able to play some of the older games like Crysis 2 and
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six Las Vegas 2 and some other stuff like some of the Call of Duty games.
I want this build to last me at least for the next 5 years(probably like asking someone to turn lead into gold)
or so as I dont have the funds(I am not in the Bill Gates or Warren Buffet class financially) to upgrade to
newer cpu's and other stuff every 2 years.
I thought I had finally "pinned it down" the specs (see above specs) the way I like it but then,I go and read
the April 2013 System Builders Guide R 18 000 to R 28 000 on NAG's website: http://www.nag.co.za/2013/04/23/system- ... to-r28000/
The author of the guide recommends LGA 2011 which seems foreign to me, since other articles I have read from
various seems not to recommend the LGA 2011 socket and that Intel Core i5 3570k (LGA 1155)is all that a person
really needs, even if LGA 1155 is dying out.
I feel like I am going to end up in an asylum(People asking what happened to that guy? and the person
answers:Oh,he tried to build himself a PC and went mad in the process).
I mean I feel like I reach the finish of a race,someone says no go back and start again.
