Putting together a new tower

[Sapper]

I am tired of upgrading my components on my desktop so I am going to splurge and get a new rig together.

I need to stay on the cheaper side, and have honestly not gotten into hardware reviews in 10+ months. I wanted to check and see if any of you guys have ordered from newegg recently and have enjoyed what they have gotten (anything and everything)?

I've found newegg to be fantastic in all aspects.

Though there are rumors that they artificially inflate the reviews of certain products by removing bad reviews.

I love newegg and have been getting all my parts from there for the past 5 years. I just ordered a new motherboard and ram to start upgrading this rig. Just wish damn UPS didn't think the roads were too slippery, should have been here monday but won't get it until tomorrow.

What you looking at building?

I know you said you want to go cheap but the next build I do im splurging on the case. I'm tired of working in cramped quarters im getiing a full tower with removable mb tray. I don't care if it's a 3rd of my costs. Sick of average cases than only a small asian girl could work on.

A nice case is something that you'll be able to use on your next build, and your next build and your next build....you see where I'm going with this.

Case = PSU. A good psu will carry you through as many builds as you need it to.

Yep, a nice case is a must. Here is the one I got about 6 months ago with my last build. Lot's of room and won't break the bank. Great air flow with up to 7 fans. I also like that the psu is on the bottom. This has plenty of room for any video card on the market today.

That doesn't look like it would fit most computer tables. :|

I picked up one of these as an open box special for $545 for the g/f for xmas.

Had to replace the pooty psu in it already, and the ram is only 1333mhz. But other than that, you couldn't build that pc that cheap.

I haven't seen a game it wouldn't devour yet at 1920 resolution.

My next rig will probably be an ibuypower i7 open box. Just plan on replacing that psu asap.

Well, I splurged and went a little higher than I wanted with this setup:

Got the 5770 for a lot cheaper than I thought it was out there for right now so I am pretty excited about that

Although I am a developer and needed a new rig for work, I built this with the intention of one day getting back into WoW and running Cataclysm at the highest settings.

[Ranucci's Big Butt BBQ]

Not a bad build. You should be able to overclock that 955 pretty easy if you want to. I have the 965 clocked at 4ghz with a water cooler.

Why do you need 2 computer cases?

Pretty much the same machine I gave the g/f for xmas, except I only paid $550. $630 counting psu.

I'd get better ram than 1333 if I were building it from scratch.

I ordered some pieces off amazon separately, so I put this together as a mockup for them to be in one place and accidentally doubled up the cases, but didn't order 2

You'd still have to replace the psu I'm sure.

I'd get better RAM and a bigger HDD. The prices on HDD's really make 1TB easily feasible as the price jumps between the successive hard drives aren't really that high.

Probably because most reviews are completely stupid and people will rate something 3 stars just because they didn't know how to install it.
