So, I've been scouring newegg a lot lately.
I read a review for a new microATX X58 Mobo from MSI, the MSI X58M, on Anandtech a few days ago (
link).
This makes me consider getting an i7 within the next few months (gotta save the cash). I was considering a cheaper Core 2 Duo E8400 system but with this motherboard, I can build a decent Core i7 system for about a grand, which is where my budget's at.
Anyways, so here's my list of components I'm looking at.
I prefer Antec cases, Corsair power supplies and Nvidia cards.
What do you think? Btw, it's newegg.ca, Canadian currency.
Antec P180 Mini mATX MSI X58M Intel Core i7 920 2.66GHz G.Skill 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3-1333 XFX GeForce GTS 250 1GB Corsair 620W Modular PSU WD 640GB 7200rpm SATA
I'll throw in a SATA CD/DVD burner as well but I'm not picky.
EDIT: Seems the X58M is sold out at the moment. No biggy I guess, as far as I know its brand new so I don't doubt they'll be back in stock in the future. It retails for $170 American, so I think I remember it being around $190CAD.
