What is the best build I can get for $6500
Hi
I have recently received a large sum of money. I won't go into the details about how it came about, but I have decided that I will spend it on a computer.
I have come up with the following build so far (prices as at my local Australian computer stores):
MOBO: Gigabyte G1 Assassin II X79 - $439
CPU: Intel i7 3960X LGA2011 - $1089
GPU: Gigabyte GTX690 4Gb - $1499 (slightly cheaper than the Asus equivalent)
Case: Coolermaster Cosmos II RC-1200 - $389
RAM: G.Skill TridentX 2400Mhz 4x8Gb (32Gb) - $518
ODD: Pioneer Bluray drive - $189
SSD: OCZ Vertex 4 512Gb x2 (raid0) - $1458
HDD: 1Tb velociraptor 10k rpm - $335
Those items come to a total of $5916.
The stores where I could purchase these parts are in the following links:
www.netplus.com.au
www.pccasegear.com
www.austin.net.au
www.ple.com.au
Are these the best all-round parts that I could get for that price? I will also need a power supply and an aftermarket CPU cooler, which I don't really have any ideas about what to get.
In summary, what do you guys think about the above parts, for a total of $5916? Any improvements to be made? Also, what would be some good suggestions for the PSU and CPU cooler? Should I go for liquid cooling, or air cooling?
Thanks!
