Location: UK (GBP)
Budget: ~£1500
Why / Reason: Better gaming experience + future proofing
Info:
I've spec'd him the following, his only requirement was that it was priced in and around £1500 and that it must include a Cosmos 2.
The prices come from Amazon UK. I know that some parts might be cheaper elsewhere but as a Prime Customer the next day delivery is free for me from Amazon, so half the stuff that might be cheaper are only slightly cheaper by a few pounds.
Some parts have been selected purely for aesthetics like the motherboard and case.
Parts List:
CPU: Intel Core i7 3770K (£245.94)
Motherboard: Asus SABERTOOTH Z77 (£177.12)
CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 (£64.90)
Memory: Corsair 16GB 1600MHz Vengeance Kit (£97.85)
GPU: 2x Club 3D 2GB 7870 Joker (£171.62 each)
SSD: Samsung 840 Series Pro 256GB (£179.59)
PSU: Corsair TX750V2 (£84.89)
Case: CM Cosmos 2 (£263.00)
HDD: Going to re-use a 2TB Drive from his current PC. IIRC it's a Western Digital Green.
DVD: Same as above, re-using it.
Cost: £1,456.54 inc Postage & Packaging.
Adding a 2/3TB Drive + DVD Drive bumps the price up about about £100. Which is just over his budget.
