If you want a lower price, this is the build I suggest:
Phenom II 955 3,2Ghz U$245
ECS A790GXM-AD3 U$109,99
OCZ 6GB DDR3-1600 U$92,99
Sapphire HD4870 1GB GDDR5 U$189,99
2x Western Digital 500GB 7200 U$59,99 each
PC Power & Cooling 750W U$129,99
Xclio Full Tower case U$89,99
This system should give you some nice upgradeability with the AM3 processor and DDR3. You might have to change the Motherboard if you want to upgrade to 12GB of RAM, although you can still achieve 8GB with that build.
It comes out to a total of $978 with a very nice upgradeability pattern. When you start needing more graphics power, you can get a second HD4870. If you need a better processor, the AM3 slot is the one that's going to be used in the future. The Phenom II 955 is Black Edition which means it's easier to overclock because of the unlocked multiplier. If you do decide to overclock it, you can get an aftermarket cooler.
The HD's should do fine, not the same performance as Raptors, however. This can be upgraded on a later occasion, though. |
