Hello all,
Im building my first computer, and frankly have no idea what I'm doing. I put something together, but I was just kinda winging it.
Anyway, the most complex thing I will probably be doing on this computer is gaming, and I already have the monitor, keyboard, and mouse.
What I need help on is:
1) Lowering the price
2) Making sure the components I picked aren't complete crap.
Any and all suggestions welcome.
Here are the specs: (http://pcpartpicker.com/p/8LyX)
CPU: Intel Core i5-2400 3.1GHz Quad-Core Processor ($184.99)
CPU Cooler: Logisys IC207 40.9 CFM CPU Cooler ($16.74)
Motherboard: Asus P8Z68-V LE ATX LGA1155 Motherboard ($132.99)
Memory: Mushkin Silverline 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1333 Memory ($40.99)
Hard Drive: Seagate Barracuda 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive ($89.99)
Video Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 460 1GB Video Card ($124.99)
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430 ATX Mid Tower Case ($37.99)
Power Supply: CoolMax 600W ATX12V Power Supply ($48.49)
Optical Drive: Sony AD-7280S-0B DVD/CD Writer ($17.99)
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64-bit) ($96.48)
Total as predicted by the above website: $791.64 (after mail-in rebates)
I was hoping on getting the price closer to the $650-750 range. (If someone can come up with a way to make it lower than that price range without sacrificing too much performance, that would be cool too.)
Also, I noticed in some of the reviews for some products that there seems to be an issue with getting the mail in rebates. Can anyone elaborate more on that?
Many thanks.
