Hello and welcome to my first blog. Long story short, I have decided to build my own computer and I will be brainstorming ideas and posting how I will build it step by step on here. I've always had a love for computers ever since I was a child but the thought of building one was always a baffling one. Thankfully I spent the last few months researching on the interne and hopefully within the next few months I'll have a top of the range gaming computer! Here are the specs I'm thinking about going with:
i5 2500K CPU
GTX 470 GPU
650W 80+ Corsair PSU
4GB G Skill Ripjaws 1333 RAM
CM 690 II
Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD
GA P67A-UD4
And of course the standard DVD Drive and whatnot.
Its been a bit of a pain to update my build since Sandy Bridge (The new Intel Chipset) came out the other day. Prices (and thankfully performance) have increased quite a bit.
Oh I'd just like to add that www.tinyurl.com/falconguide is probably the handiest guide on the net about learning to do this, so please spend some time reading it, it's incredibly helpful.
