CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K 3.4GHz Quad-Core Processor ($189.99 @ Microcenter)
Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-1600 Memory ($65.70 @ Newegg)
Storage: Sandisk Extreme II 240GB 2.5" Solid State Disk
Video Card: MSI Radeon HD 7770 1GB Video Card
Sound Card: HT Omega STRIKER Sound Card
Power Supply: Antec 450W ATX12V Power Supply
Optical Drive: Asus DRW-24B1ST/BLK/B/AS DVD/CD Writer
I already have the parts listed except for the CPU and Memory; I have a $600 budget for these and the rest.
I honestly have no idea on what to get for the mobo and cooling. I do require that it has at least one PCIe and one PCI slot. I might want to overclock a bit, just a little.
On cases, can the front panels be replaced in the future? If so, I can splurge a little and just keep reusing the same case.
Thanks.
