Hi all,
I am currently building a new gaming/computer rig, as my old one is out of date and was built back in 2008 for Windows XP.
I am planning on using this Rig for PC gaming, hopefully Skyrim when it comes out towards the end of the year.
I am also currently a Multimedia Student and will be using this Rig for 3d Studio Max 2012 and Maya 2012.
I have looked on this site to build the computer and here I the specs which I have come up with.
Case
STYLISH BLACK/SILVER TRIDENT CASE + 2 FRONT USB
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i5-2400 Quad Core (3.10GHz, 6MB Cache) + HD Graphics
Motherboard
ASUS® P8H67-M: M-ATX, DDR3, USB 2.0, SATA 6.0Gb/s, CrossFireX™
Memory (RAM)
8GB SAMSUNG DDR3 DUAL-DDR3 1333MHz (2 X 4GB)
Graphics Card
1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX 550 Ti - DVI,HDMI,VGA - 3D Vision Ready
Memory - 1st Hard Disk
1TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm)
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive
4x BLU-RAY ROM DRIVE, 16x DVD ROM (£38)
Memory Card Reader
INTERNAL 52 IN 1 CARD READER (XD, MS, CF, SD, etc) + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT
Power Supply
450W Quiet 80 PLUS Dual Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan (£29)
Processor Cooling
INTEL SOCKET LGA1155/1156 STANDARD CPU COOLER
Sound Card
ONBOARD 6 CHANNEL (5.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)
Network Facilities
ONBOARD 10/100/1000 GIGABIT LAN PORT - AS STANDARD ON ALL PCs
USB Options
6 x USB 2.0 PORTS @ BACK PANEL (MIN 2 FRONT PORTS) AS STANDARD
Operating System
Genuine Windows 7 Home Premium 64 Bit - inc DVD & Licence (£79)
Office Software
FREE Microsoft® Office Starter 2010 (Limited functionality Word & Excel)
Anti-Virus
BULLGUARD INTERNET SECURITY - FREE 90 DAY TRIAL
Warranty
3 Year Standard Warranty (1 Month Collect & Return, 1 Year Parts, 3 Year Labour)
Delivery
STANDARD INSURED DELIVERY TO UK MAINLAND (MON-FRI)
Build Time
Standard Build - Approximately 10 to 12 working days
Quantity
1
Price: £664.00 including VAT and delivery.
I may also remove the Blu-Ray rom as I will not be playing Blu-Ray movies on this system.
Any suggestions for this specification would be greatly appreciated
EDIT: I am also thinking about getting a wireless USB adapter for this Rig since there is not enough PCI slots on the Motherboard. I am preferably looking for one with a cradle/usb extension as my computer will be in the far corner of my room and the router is downstairs. Does anyone also have any recommendations for a decent one to run on Windows 7 64 Bit?
Many Thanks
Jamie
