Time for new PC
Well, my PC's hard drive is completely shot. (1 long beep then 1 short beep,)
Since I'm graduating college soon I figure I'll give myself an early graduation gift. So here I am, going to build a new PC rig.
============================================
Type of PC: Well, I will use it for gaming. But I mainly play minecraft.
I also like to do rendering with sony vegas, etc. possibly some minor 3D work.
============================================
First off, I have a 550W PSU already, So I can reuse that,
I also have a DVD drive
In addition, I have Three 4GB AXIOM Ram sticks, I think Axiom is dell, so I am not 100% if they can be reuseable... I'd prefer if they were to save money.
Lastly, I have a GX 220 Graphics card with 1 GB of memory, I know, it's slow and cheap but I will use it for now and upgrade later once I have more money.
********************************************
So this is what I need-
-Possibly new RAM
-CPU
-MOBO
-Case
-Hard drive
....................................................................................
So let's start here:
------------------
$ - under 250
CPU-
I was thinking about getting an intel i5 here's the one I was looking at: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007SZ0E1K/...I378MTU9YSRCF1
Would this be the best bang for my buck?
I'd consider AMD, but I have always been an Intel guy.
..................
$ - under 120
Case-
I like Black and red, and I've always wanted a window, so I really like this. Also I wanted it rather large so I could work on it if need be, so ATX form factor is preferred:

..................
Hard drive-
$ - under 120
I've done a bit of research on this, and I think I am in favor of getting a hybrid hard drive, I think it would be interesting, only back fire to that though is that most hybrid drives are at 5400 RPMs which is kind of unacceptable, so I may just go for a different one.. 1 TB is pretty much a MUST for this.
..................
Motherboard-
$ - under 160
I guess I'm more interested in an ATX intel mobo 1155.
I would want it to be able to support 64 GB of RAM. (not that I plan for that much, but you never know.)
I'd prefer having cross fire. so 2 PCI slots are definitely preferred.
-------------------------------
So I would like to stick as close to $600, but I could go up to 700 if need be...
Thanks for the help guys. :)
