Build Your Computer

Tatsujin:
Few things to keep in mind:

* You can build any-type of computer for personal, gaming, multi-task, server-use, etc.
* Keep the URL link to the side of the part model name, or within the model name.
* You either do an only-computer build (necessary parts to power a computer), or a full setup computer build (with mouse, keyboard, monitor, speakers, etc).
* It would be nice to just give us your budget view on the computer set up.
* Have fun. :P


Type: Computer-only for a young gamer
Budget: 620 dollars

CPU: Intel Core i3-2100 Sandy Bridge 3.1GHz LGA 1155 65W Dual-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 2000 BX80623I32100
Motherboard: ASUS P8H61-M LX PLUS (REV 3.0) LGA 1155 Intel H61 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard with UEFI BIOS
Memory: G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1333 (PC3 10666) Desktop Memory Model F3-10666CL9D-8GBRL
PSU: CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W ATX12V v2.3 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
GPU: EVGA 01G-P3-1556-KR GeForce GTX 550 Ti (Fermi) FPB 1GB 192-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
HDD: Western Digital Caviar Black WD1001FALS 1TB 7200 RPM 32MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive

Whenever I try to make a simple computer for personal use, I end up making it more for a gamer ... lol.

Type: Usual gamer who lives in Sweden

Case: BitFenix Merc Beta Black (345 sek)
GPU: Geforce GTX 580 1536M (2523 sek with SC discount)
CPU: Intel i5 2500K (1662 sek with discount)
MB: Gigabyte Z68AP-D3 (802 sek with discount)
HDD: Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7200rpm 64MB SATA-3 (990 sek with discount)
RAM: Corsair 8GB (KIT) DDR3 1600MHz/CL9/VENGEANCE-BLUE/1,5V (399 sek with discount)
PSU: Cooler Master GX 550W 80+ Bronze (596 sek)

345+2523+1662+802+990+399+596 = 7317 sek (Shipping not included)
7317 sek equals $1073

Take into account that everything is about ~35% more expensive in Sweden than in the USA. I had to look pretty hard to find these deals.

Forgot the monitor: ACHIEVA Shimian QH270-IPSB 2560x1440 27" ($344)

Since the Geforce 520 can barely even boot modern games, and the 530 is comparable to the 7900 series, the latter 3 are essentially useless builds for gaming. It may just be me, but all of them seem greatly overpriced.

And, I think the topic was to "build a computer" yourself, not choose between existing builds and asking for advice on which one to buy.

Do you mean the thread? Then, set up a build which is not related to games ;]
