Locutus Posted December 3, 2012 Posted December 3, 2012 (edited) Ah, Christmas. So I won some new DDR3 2400MHz RAM in the Xmas Contest, and now I'd like to build a computer around that. Probably going to be building it part-by-part. At the moment I'm looking for: Z77 1155 Motherboard - $100 or less pref. CPU - $100 or less I'd like to get an Asus ROG or a similar motherboard. I had an 1156 ROG that I absolutely loved (but I had to sell it last year.) ETA: It appears that the RAM I've won was specifically made for the Z77 chipset so I should try sticking to that.

EuroFight Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 You may be interested in this build I did: http://forums.overclockersclub.com/index.php?showtopic=193023 I did a similar build to this and had a couple of issues, I believe the issue was the RAM but I can confirm it within a week (I have given you different RAM): AMD FX-6100 $105 GA-970A-DS3 $70 (after rebate) 4GB DDR3 Kingston ValueRAM $20 Cooler Master Elite 460W $30 EVGA GeForce GT610 $30 Total: $255 + HDD + Case (I assume you already have these?) The build listed would give you a hex-core build with a potential for up to 32GB RAM (although I doubt you would need it), the GT610 could be easily upgraded in time if you wanted to do some gaming or something. The CPU could be upgraded up to an 8-core FX-8120 if needed at a later date and may support next-gen AMD processors. The benchmarks are admittedly disappointing vs Intel, but an i5 rig this would be just beaten by would be around $400+ (I worked it out in Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Onion Posted December 16, 2012 Posted December 16, 2012 Do you want DDR2 or DDR3? I've got some ram. Also, I've got that GTX 275 up for sale, I'm asking $60, pretty cheap for what it is. Let me know if you're interested. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
