So 4 years ago my $2200 X58 system was stolen and since then I've had no real PC to fall back on. Recently I've come across some more money (via Pitch In) and I've planned my return to an actual PC. So here are the parts:

CPU: X4 860k

MOBO: MSI A88XM Gaming(bought)

RAM: Kingston HyperX Fury 8GB 1866

CHASIS: Corsair 350D

GPU: R9 285(MSI hasn't released theirs yet so I'm pretty upset about that)

CPU:  Cooler:Enermax ETS-T40 BK(bought)

PSU: Fractal Telsa R2 650w

HDD: 1tb seagate(and a 250gb)

SSD: AMD R7 240GB(I mean I can get it for cheap)

Extras: Silverstone sleeved cables, a plethora of Be Quiet! fans, and a 650 as a physx card(yes I'm aware of Nvidia disabling hybrid physx I'm just not going to update my drivers)

So what do you guys think? Please let me know.

Location: US

Budget: $1000 is(already have MOBO and Heatsink)

PS: I'm not new to computers and/or building but I just need some input for my return from a 4 year hiatus.

Have a bad day...

What is your budget?

 

What is your location?

 

These seem to be very mismatched...

@W1tness, sorry to hear about your stolen PC. That must've been quite an annoying and substantial loss to you, $2,200 is no small amount. :(

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.

He bought longer cables and put it outside so it would be cooled better and the noise wouldn't bother him. Then somebody just took off with it mid gaming session.

So far I've already got the mobo and heatsink. It is mostly used for gaming but the only reason my family payed $2200 on the old system was because I was doing heavy 3d work(yes as a 10 year old).

Have a bad day...

My budget is roughly $1000 but only meant for my needs for the money.

Have a bad day...
