Maximum PC

Hi. I´m going to buy a new PC for games, with peripherals (keyboard, mouse and monitor), for about 1200$.
I hope I´m going to choose this one:

Intel Core i5 - 2500k

Gigabyte GA-Z68P-DS3

RAM: G.Skill Ripjaws X DDR3 1600 PC3-12800 8GB 2X4GB CL9

Seagate Barracuda 7200.14 1TB SATA 3

Cooler Master Elite 430 black

Cooler Master GX 650W v2

Sapphire Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5

Asus DRW-24B3ST DVD Recorder 24X Black OEM

Keyboard: Thermaltake Tt eSPORTS Challenger

Mouse: A4tech X-718BK Oscar 3200DPI Optical Gaming Mouse

Monitor: BenQ G2420HDBL 24" LED FULL HD DVI

What do you thing about it? Thanks!

Welcome to the forum!

First off, when do you plan on building this? I ask this because you are just 3 weeks away from Intel's next gen Ivy Bridge cpu's, about a month away from nvidia's next gen Kepler 600 series gpu's, and the fact that the next gen AMD 7800 series gpu's just go released this week (although hard to find the 7850 since its out of stock everywhere and carries a bit of a price premium being new; suppose to be 249 price point and most places list it as 280ish or so).

If you can't wait, here'd what I'd look to get:

This nets you a pretty powerful system with room to grow. I do want to point out that the mobo I selected, it only allows for xfire setups, not SLI. I chose it since the 6870 is a great price/performance card and you can easily add in a 2nd one down the line with no troubles at all; don't need to spend extra money for SLI if you don't plan to go that route. Plus the Asus board is the cheapest 1155 ATX board right now that has 20 pin internal usb 3.0 socket that you can use with the nice and cheap NZXT source 220 case.

Everything else is pretty much in line with your choices, minus a few tweaks here and there.

Don't get a g500... http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Optical- ... B0055QZ216 this one tracks better. And I would get a mechanical keyboard http://www.overclock.net/t/491752/mecha ... oard-guide

For most people, what I listed is going to work. Mechanical keyboards are nice, but screw spending $100 for a "cheap" one. Not everyone needs MLG level devices. laser works fine.

Well, first thanks and sorry for my bad english.

I want the pc for 20th April mor or less, but I can wait until first May days for the nvidia´s next 600 series gpu´s. But, how much will they cost? And, the actually nvidia´s 500 series gpu´s, will be cheaper?

I didn´t know that the Intel´s next gen cpu´s is going to go on sale, but I can wait for they if the actually gen will be cheaper, or if the new gen isn´t very expensive.

I´m not going to make overclock, and crossfire or sli neither.

Thanks!

I agree with you on mechanical keyboards but it doesn't make much sense to spend more for a laser mouse when the optical are actually better at what they do.

I find laser works pretty damn good, and every love the g500. Tracking with laser is better for almost every surface, but optical will get bogged down if you have a smooth surface with no definition in color, gradient or contrast.

No you are mistaken. There is a difference between works on every surface and tracks well on every surface. Also modern optical mice don't have issues with solid colored mouse pads, I'm sure some do but if you go with a g400, deathadder, or Zowie AM you should have no problems.

Some discussion about a new laser mouse sensor that might actually be good: http://www.overclock.net/t/1200001/avago-adns-9800

And I had a g9x which uses the same laser as the g500, it is no where near as good as the g400. The g400 is damn near perfect.

Again... not every fucking gamer needs to play on pro levels here.. they just need a fucking mouse that fucking works... get off your high horse.

So why spend MORE money for an inferior mouse? I'm not saying buy a $200 mouse, it's cheaper than the one you recommended and works better. How about you stop recommending more expensive garbage?

You can get them on sale all the time for $30. And its not garbage. Both will work just fine. Whatever dude, I'm done with trying to counter troll your shit. You can deal with all this shit.
