New Computer

Hey, I'm getting a new computer, but I'm wondering if anyone can view my stats and see if there is something I could downgrade with the same results, or upgrade for about the same price. The only thing I left out of this is a harddrive, which I'm looking at now.

You're also missing your RAM + CPU...i'll help you out when you've added everything.

Crap, I really hope I didn't save it like that..

Edit: Something happened to I remade it and uploaded it again.

You can definetely cut down on your PSU, don't make the mistake I made. I bought a 680W thinking it's what I needed and now when I turn my computer on the whole house fuses lol. Go for around 480W. You can probably cut back on your GFX card aswell.

Not much point in an SLI motherboard with only one graphics card.

upgrade value, I have an SLI mobo and intend on getting a another video card in the future. Almost everything is SLI anyway.

Seb: Yeah, I really only put it on there for now. I really want one where I can choose which cables to use. I'll look for a new one now..

Wildhoney: I'm getting two eventually, but I just need a system that works for games at the moment so I can start playing again. I'm seeing if I can find a cheaper SLI one though.

Edit: Found a nice 600w (still a lot, but I'd like to buy one that could last me a while if I ever upgrade again soon) COOLERMASTER for about $60-70, so I'll update that in the spreadsheet. Also looking at other motherboards.

I highly recommend the 580W Hiper Modular Type R for your PSU. You can switch the cables like you wanted, and it's one of the quiestest, coolest PSUs on the market. Great performance + it's slightly cheaper than the one on your list

I highly recommend the Logitech Laser Mouse + Keyboard combo. One of the best investments I've made in hardware! I've changed the batteries only two or three times in the past 8 months.

sskhalsa: Do you have a link or know the exact name of it?
