Attention Mid-Range System Builders - Updated 08/01/2015

hi can i ask you official opinion? do you think i should get the asrock in your post no matter what or do you think the B&M store at microcenter has somehting better than the asrock comparably speaking?

My official opinion? I didn't know that I was so exalted. :awe:

IF you are going to MC, your best bang for the buck will be to use one of their i5 2500K + Z68 mobo combos. They don't usually carry ASRock but any feature and price comparable Gigabyte, MSI, or ASUS would be fine.

New build posted. Pretty much the same, a few changes here and there (RAM, PSU).

FYI I already recommended the Source 210 lol

New update posted. The major change is that I went with the GTX 560 Ti 448 because availability on the 6950 2GB has really dried up in the past week or so. Methinks 7800 is imminent.

Me think so too

I just got the rest of the money I needed to finish ordering this build. One of the things I still need is the 2500k and the motherboard. I could order it right now, but would it be worthwhile to wait til next week? Will the price drop on the Intel chip with the release of that AMD CPU?

Thanks

If you live near a Micro Center they have a great deal on Mobo's and CPU's, I just picked up a 2500k for $179....and an Asus P8Z68-V for $69.99....

if you live near a micro center, you can go on their facebook and get a coupon for the i7 for almost the same price as the i5

microcenter rules

New build, now with 100% more 7850! Some other minor changes in the RAM and PSU and also took updated pricing into account. Below $1000 again!

I dunno really. It is already more frequently updated, has more replies, and almost as many views as the other system builder's sticky.
