[Build Ready] Just about ready here..in over 2200 by now, check it out!
So, I would be done with my build by now, and satisfied, but the motherboard I got sent to me (ASrock fatal1ty 990fx professional) was defective and so this was last friday. I waited until today to put in my new order with newegg and have the stuff overnighted to me for delivery tomorrow, and with the new motherboard purchase, I decided to spend another 600 on top of my 1500 already dropped and get a few extra goodies :D go big or gtfo was the mentality at this point, so here we go.
CPU: AMD FX-8150 Zambezi 3.6GHz Socket AM3+ 125W Eight-Core $199.99 CPU Cooler: CORSAIR H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler $114.99 Motherboard: ASUS Sabertooth 990FX AM3+ AMD 990FX $179.99 Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-bit $399.99 Memory: G.SKILL Sniper Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1866 $54.99 HDD #1: Seagate 1.5TB 64MB Cache 5900RPM $ ?? Out of old build :) HDD #2: OCZ Vertex 3 120G 2.5" 120GB SATA III $89.99 PSU: CORSAIR Professional Series HX850W $174.99 Case: Corsair Obsidian Series 800D Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower $264.99
Those are the main goodies, I got a few other additional things too such as the Razer Deathadder mouse and Razer Blackwidow matching keyboard along with the Razer goliathus mousepad, I'm using a 23" Acer H233H Monitor I got for 100 bucks back in October as my screen which is beautiful.
I get the new mobo, memory, cpu cooler keyboard and accessories tomorrow so I'm hoping everything goes well this time, no defective parts issues, but seeing as im going with asus this time around, i'm a little less worried. I've always been an AMD guy, it seems like you are all Intel lovers :P I decided to give the 8-core a try, in an attempt to "future-proof" my system. pics on completion :D. (btw..this case...IS HUGE! and very beautiful, highly recommened if you got the cash for it)
