oF[WaR;4684754']For 1200 I'd settle for an Intel board with that power.. This summer I worked with the I.T dept building new machines;
Some Intel board.. micro ATX
750w PSU
i7 (8-core) LGA1155 (Not sure of GHz speed)
16GB Super Talent PC3 12800
Two 1TB HDD
One DVD-R
One BD-R
Sapphire Radeon HD6670 (1GB)
Some cheap but slick-looking micro-ATX case
The budget was around 70k for about 140 machines, Save a lot of money if you choose the right parts from the right sellers. For around 550-600 you could have a machine of equal power, if not more than what your paying here for 1K.
The machines we built are tested and working to run Autocad, CS6 Suite, And high-end games such as Battlefield 3 and Diablo 3. (Max/Ultimate settings) smoothly; We made a few tests of our own ;] :y:
Always collect information on different parts before buying, it's a huge decision that could save you money and end up with a better machine.
PS; Whoever said Asus boards are the best, greatest, or w.e... :n: Only buy Intel or Gigabyte.. Asus and MSI are cheap shit.
Terrible build, if you ask me.
First of all, 6670.. on a 1.2k build wtf...
750w power supply, do you really need that much?
Some crappy motherboard .. come on dude
Asus makes the greatest boards ever, what's wrong with you?
