What I am planning to build after returning a miserable macbook pro:
CPU: Intel i7 3770(k) / 250,-
GPU: Nvidia GTX760 / 220,-
RAM: Kingston HyperX 1600MHz, 2x8GB / 130,-
Mainboard: Asus P8Z77I Deluxe (Mini-ITX) / 150,-Case: Bitfenix Prodigy / 70,-
Some 2TB HDD with 7.200 RPM / 70,-
Some SSD, 250GB / 150,-(Water)cooling parts, Fans, Cables, PSU: 150,-
Sums up to around 1.300 Euros, you might get away a little cheaper with US prices. You can always save with a lower CPU (an i5 is good enough for most people, a lower graphics card and less RAM.)
- My iMac has better specs than that and comes with a 27" screen, camera, speakers and more. Also cheaper.monospaced
- put 24gb of RAM into that. RAM is cheap.benfal99
- nice system btwbenfal99
- @benfal, the board only supports 16GB, @mono gimme your specs and pricemekk
- @mono, the 27" iMac starts at 1.800 Euros here in germany..mekk
- Well that sucks.monospaced
- This one is probably faster.monospaced
- mono, iMac's don't offer an i7, and the best iMac GPU is worse than this one. So, no.section_014
- Weird, my iMac is running on an i7, and has been for 1 1/2 years. Video card is almost the same too.monospaced
- You can get the GTX 780 4GB on the i7 iMac too.monospaced
- an iMac with that spec is around 2.800 Euros. But it has an optical drivemekk
- for the price, yours is faster, like I said.monospaced
- yup, which doesn't make the mac a bad machine. Top-End the Macs are pretty reasonabl, like the mac pro but in mid-range its just a luxury toy imhomekk
- range its just a luxury toy imhomekk
- The iMac has an optical drive? You might want to hard-refresh the Apple Store...nb
- I was thinking that too. Must be an EU thing.ETM
