DUnlimited: got any popo lolo intersting?; +1,160|6681|cuntshitlake

...and since I've dropped a bit out of computer business due to lack of interest, I come to seek help.

Got the basics, HD's, peripherals, won't need a new GPU, so that leaves me with lack of Motherboard, CPU, Memory, PSU, Case, SSD. I don't have a very specific budget but I'd like to get good value for the price, not the best über gaming computer in the world.

CPU, Motherboard SSD (120GB+) need to be intel branded. Don't ask why but they have to. These I will order straight from the manufacturer so you can just tell a good model, doesn't have to exist in a Finnish shop

-----------------------------------------

I'd prefer a 2x4GB set of memory.
Decent case, been looking at something like Coolermaster Elite 334
For PSU I want something that can handle the computer with 2xHD6870, but not overkill.

Site I'll be ordering from www.jimms.fi

I would recommend you do not get that Coolermaster case. Pick yourself up a full tower ATX (I have the NZXT Phantom, love it) or one of the larger midtowers (Corsair makes a few in this category).

I do not feel like a full-tower is a good investment for me right now, I just want something decent (fits all setups, not extremely tight) and cheap.

Pretty sure this'll do: http://www.jimms.fi/tuote/RC-692A-KKN5-BW

Might as well go 16gb (4x4) RAM. It's so cheap these days. I just picked up 16GB for $60shipped via newegg.

-EDIT-Depending on what CPU and cooler you go with you might want to keep this RAM in mind (this is what i got); http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a … 6820147094 .

It overclocks like a champ and has no heat spreaders to interfere with a large CPU air cooler.

Then I recommend grabbing yourself one of the larger midtowers from Corsair. Trust me when I say that having the extra room to hide cables is extremely good for airflow and whenever you have to tinker around inside, your hands won't be so cramped.

i agree, fuck small cases and terrible cable management

i like coolermaster midtowers.

i tear down and build enough that the only person i try to impress is me, and that bar is pretty low to be honest.
