Building a PC (for those that do)
Been a number of years since I have built a PC from scratch .. had to
feed in loads of FD's to load Dos and W 3.1 :-) I need a new PC at home, I have my spec sorted for a W7 64bit (apart from case), and just wondering whether it's worth getting all the parts and assembling yourself. Or buying form one place and get them to assemble ... (Overclockers assemble for £70 for example) If they assemble .. at least you can be sure it all works together ... and guarantee result, views ? If you think getting it pre-assembled, any companies particularly good price wise ? Overclockers, SCAN, Power PC ? Spec proposed: ASUS P87ZZ-V LE CPU Intel i5 3570K IvyBridge 16 GB DDR3 RAM (Samsung or Vengeance) PSU 500W modular (Corsair or CoolerMaster) GPU - MSI GTX560 Ti 1GB SSD - 120GB SATA III Corsair HDD - 1TB SATA III WD Caviar Blue PCI - 2 port FireWire 1 x DVD/CD ROM 1 x DVD/CD RW (BluRay RW to be added to future) Undecided on CASE .. possibles a CoolerMaster HAF 912 ANTEC 300 ANTEC 302 |
