You don't need the 'k' processors for almost anything. The i5-2500 and i7-2600 destroy pretty much anything thrown at them stock. I have no idea why people are OCing them other than they are just computer dorks. (Which I can understand, as I am one of those dorks)
Do you really do anything with the PC besides game, surf the web, work on Microsoft Office, etc?
If not, you may want to try to scale it down to only 4GB of RAM and then put that extra $30-60 dollars or whatever it is into the video card. RAM is pretty much the easiest and cheapest upgrade there is on top of it. You'll be able to (and already can) buy an extra 4GB or just an 8GB kit and toss it in your machine on the cheap.
On top of that 4GB of RAM should be enough to play most games. Most of them are purely based on video card performance.
I plan on playing modern games, Witcher 2, Deus Ex 3, I might try Crysis 2, etc... These games are getting more and more demanding graphically.
Diablo 3 could run on my current computer (3.4 ghz single core, 8500 GT), like SC2 does. I know this is a D3 forum, but I'm not buying a computer for D3 But I'll be more than happy to max it.
Alright, after careful considerations, I'm still not 100% sure, but I'm settling for this for now:
3.3Ghz Intel Core i5-2500 6MB Cache Quad-Core
Stock Intel LGA1155 Heatsink and Fan
MSI H61M-E23(B3) (Intel H61, HDMI, DVI, PCI-E, 4xSATA, 2xDDR3)
4GB (2GBx2) PC3 10666 DDR3 1333Mhz Memory Lifetime Warranty
1TB 7200RPM 32MB Cache Serial ATA300 (Major Brand)
22X LG SATA Dual Layer DVD+/-RW/CDRW w/Nero
1GB GeForce GTX 560Ti GDDR5 PCI-E Dual-DVI (Major Brand)
Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
CoolerMaster Black HAF 912 (3 5.25, 5 3.5) Fan, Audio/USB/eSATA
600watt Corsair CMPSU-600CX
Onboard LAN included
Onboard Sound included
2x 120mm Case Fan
Wires and Cables neatly tied up away from fans
3 Year Parts and Labor Limited Warranty
996$. They also have free shipping. Any opinions?
Its looking like a great pick to me. I looked at the prices for the video card, and I really don't see any better prices (or barely) elsewhere. I'd rather they just include it.
I'm still not 100% sure the Power Supply is enough, I picked a 600watt, I'm thinking it -should- be enough.
EDIT: Added 2x 120mm Case Fan. Apparently, its perfect if you want to make sure you avoid any heating issues possible. For 15$, worth it.
i think overall the setup is pretty good, the motherboard doesnt have usb 3.0 however, even though its pretty useless at the moment, if you are keeping this pc for 5 years or more, it might be nice to have, you never know. and it does not support sli (even though i would never do sli or crossfire, its a good option to have)
is the 996 after tax?
i did a little search up on shopbot.ca and found the best prices for each of your component (except ram, im not sure what they give you) so if you get a 60-70 dollar 4gb memory you are basically paying over 100 dollars for the 3 years warranty, and maybe shipping, though most of the components have warranties themselves already

hah its just that you mentioned you are in canada, i mean thats the least i can do
your 560ti will max sc2 at 1920x1080 so should be pretty close with d3
im going to build a system myself in august, 2500k and a z68 board. since im not going to play much of anything until diablo comes out, i'll just use the on board graphics until the new generation cards come out around christmas. but since you mentioned you want to play some new games these days, you would definitely want a solid card right away
I finally discovered something! collegePC doesn't ship to Canada! YEAH!
....
Apparently NCIX is the best choice of the kind for Canadians. So I'm building one there. Problem is, GOD this is a lot more complex. There are lots more options, less things are clear, and they don't have all the options I had in the other one, which I already confirmed were good choices. (mostly for the motherboard and power supply).
I'm confused with the motherboards, none of them say how much RAM they can take or I'm missing something in these long, painful to read name.
For the questions, I'm still picking up those 2:
Intel Core i5 2500 Quad Core Processor LGA1155 3.3GHZ Sandy Bridge 6MB
GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB PCI-E Dual DVI Mini HDMI
Question 1:
Say this one: "MSI 760GM-E51 mATX AM3 760G DDR3 PCI-E16 PCI-E 2XPCI SATA2 RAID GBLAN Audio VGA DVI HDMI Motherboard".
Does it have room for 2x2gb DDR3? And do I need to get a network card, or is that included in the motherboard? I'm confused.
Question 2:
The power supply. I was recommended a 500 or 600 watt -corsair-. They don't have corsairs that doesn't go over the top. Most cheap ones have a shitty reputation anywhere I google and they just recommend to "wait and get a better one".
Its infuriating as hell. And I still need to make sure it has enough power in the first place for my build. Any tips?
Question 3:
Which RAM should I pick? Lots of brands, lots of price. Lots of twisted neurons in my head. Still aiming for 4 GB.
Alot of motherboards now days have built in network controllers. So you wont need a network card unless you buy one without.
That geforce GTX 560 will kick ass. My older GTX 275 still maxes out any game to this date. including crysis 2 at max details, settings etc. Id go 4GB RAM minimum, Windows 32 bit can only recognize 4GB anyway. Unless you switch to the 64bit version.
And yes that motherboard will support 2x2GB DDR3. Max it can do is 16GB But its an AM3 board from what im reading and doesn't support Intel
Rollback Post to RevisionRollBack
You know its going to be a good day when you enter a corner sideways.
Hi, due to the many people who seem to have no idea what they are doing, I am going to attempt to direct you into the right path. If anyone wants to try to prove me wrong, please give supporting evidence or reason.
I used newegg.ca for these prices, of course you could use the site you prefer.
Intel i5 2500k CPU + Asus P8P67 Pro Motherboard
Why get the K version? First off, overclocking is EASY now days, you literally change 2-3 things for an overclock on this platform. Another point, is RESELL VALUE, okay maybe you don't oc, but some future prospect buyer might.
Why not get AMD XXX? All of AMD's current CPUs are out dated, the 2500k beats even the 1100t by 25-50% in most cases, and even by 10% in multi threaded apps were the 1100t should have the advantage.
For the motherboard, the leading makers in motherboards for this platform are Asus and Gigabyte. Asus brings something to the table that Gigabyte did not, the UEFI. Why the pro version? For future SLI/CF capabilities.
Corsair TX750 PSU
First thing, don't think you can get away with buying some psu that says it can output 600watts. It will bite you in the ass if you try and buy a generic piece of crap psu. The good brands in the business are : Corsair, Antec, and Seasonic.
750w allows you to SLI/CF in the future (if you decide so).
MSI TFII GTX 560Ti GPU
This graphics card gives you enough headroom in case D3 turns out to be more graphic intense than we thought. You could definately step down in this area and save some $$ if you wish.
This is the CORE foundation for your build. It comes out to 775 + Shipping + Taxes.
Lets assume it costs 850 total.
This leaves you 150$ for DVD burner (20$), Case (60-100%) and optional CPU cooler (40$)
As for operating system, pm me I can help with that.
If you have any questions let me know. If you wanted to loose SLI capabilities for the future you could save 100$.
I'm building at NCIX, there are some options not available. I still have 3 specific questions a few posts above. I was looking to get that answered more specifically
I know 2500k is for overclocking, and I know its easy, I just never did it. I was always afraid of overheating troubles and the likes, a problem I had in the past with computers that were not even overclocked.
I need a cheaper motherboard, or it breaks my budget. And I'm not going through any fishy means of obtaining Window 7. I've been down that road before W7 and the assembling/testing by NCIX costs 170$, plus probably 50$ for shipping. Which breaks my budget with your suggestions.
And I've never sold my computers. Friends and relatives get it.
As for the parts, if ASUS is the best in motehrboards, then I can get a cheap ASUS motherboards that works well... like this one?:

And "Antec Earthwatts 650W Power Supply", thats a good brand according to you, so it'll be enough?
As for rams, G-Skill it is.
170$ for assembling? That is 170$ for 30 minutes of work.....
That motherboard isn't even an intel motherboard.
Yes the Antec earthwatts 650 is enough for any single graphics card setup.
I firmly believe that you should build it yourself, watch this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_56kyib-Ls
It is literally as easy is that.
If you were to price a build out on NCIX it would be like this.
hey jake, i just called memoryexpress for you and they do assemble your computer for you for 40 dollars (doesnt install windows, ncix doesnt either) when you use the System Configurator on their site, and they ship for free if its under 50lb. and you can price match by just leaving the item and the site you found it in the comment box.
so screw ncix. choose the components you want and go to shopbot.ca and search each component to find the best prices for each, price match it, and have them build it for you and ship to you, and a pc with everything in it doesnt weigh 50lb.
just a thing on price matching, it doesnt match mail in rebates, or coupons, or saving codes, so be sure to check that. also there's all these different brand of video cards and different memory sizes, so be sure that the manufacturing/parts # matches
i just inputted a similar system as yours on memoryexpress's configurator, before any price matching it comes out as a 1024.91 before taxes. with a 650TX corsair and asus p8p67 instead of the pro
for video card i would go with msi twinfrozr, but its currently out of stock so i chose a evga for you, lifetime warranty. the evga card comes with a 20mail in rebate, so your total before taxes would be 1004.91 (once you get the rebate in the distant future...)
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it, but you could've clicked "Add System to your cart" and copy paste all the stuff you chose!
You confused me with what that incompatibility thing and there's multiple options even for things you mentionned, so I'm a bit lost.

there you go, phew i had to email the list to my email and then copy it
yea you can just give them a call on the stuff that you want but out of stock they'll give you a better idea when they'll get it.

yea since you are not planning to overclock, the le motherboard is fine, so now you can go on shopbot and match everything, its just a google for products in canada, each and every computer store that holds that item shows up with the price, just be sure to check the parts# and if its mail in rebate, coupon, saving code or not. and copy the internet addresses down.
i know it sounds like a tedious process, but hey you are saving money and get to checkout your options. right away i know you can save 9 dollars on the fan by using ncix's price and over 25 on the 2500 by showing them http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=12200BD4322&vpn=BX80623I52500&manufacture=INTEL
there's a 25% extra reduction of the price difference so its all good
Thanks, that looks perfect. Now onward to price matching, I guess. But I'm not sure where to begin. Once I find the better prices somewhere, what do I do? Where do I show them anything for price matching?
Do you really do anything with the PC besides game, surf the web, work on Microsoft Office, etc?
If not, you may want to try to scale it down to only 4GB of RAM and then put that extra $30-60 dollars or whatever it is into the video card. RAM is pretty much the easiest and cheapest upgrade there is on top of it. You'll be able to (and already can) buy an extra 4GB or just an 8GB kit and toss it in your machine on the cheap.
On top of that 4GB of RAM should be enough to play most games. Most of them are purely based on video card performance.
As for the video card, I was aiming for the GTX 460 GDDR5. Is the upgrade to 560Ti for 60$ worth it?
Depends on the games you want to play. If you are just playing Diablo 3, Starcraft 2, etc? Then no, I would save just save the $60 dollars.
But if you get into some of the more demanding games and you are big on 'maxing out settings' and stuff like that, then it's definitely worth it.
But the 460 should definitely be enough to max Diablo 3 and whatever expansions it comes out with I would think.
Diablo 3 could run on my current computer (3.4 ghz single core, 8500 GT), like SC2 does. I know this is a D3 forum, but I'm not buying a computer for D3 But I'll be more than happy to max it.
So I guess I'll get it.

Does it matter if outs of stock? They get new ones every once in a while, right..? I'd rather wait a week or two and get what I want.
So, is that config good and compatible?
yea you can just give them a call on the stuff that you want but out of stock they'll give you a better idea when they'll get it.

yea since you are not planning to overclock, the le motherboard is fine, so now you can go on shopbot and match everything, its just a google for products in canada, each and every computer store that holds that item shows up with the price, just be sure to check the parts# and if its mail in rebate, coupon, saving code or not. and copy the internet addresses down.
i know it sounds like a tedious process, but hey you are saving money and get to checkout your options. right away i know you can save 9 dollars on the fan by using ncix's price and over 25 on the 2500 by showing them http://www.directcanada.com/products/?sku=12200BD4322&vpn=BX80623I52500&manufacture=INTEL
there's a 25% extra reduction of the price difference so its all good
