Buyer's Guide II: Extreme, High-End, Mid-Range, Budget, and Entry Level Systems - Part 2

[MoneyFace =p]

im buying tgt with a 6600 chip.. think i'll just go to PCthemes for the bundle
unless u have another lobang for the 6600chip

Please drop to 6500 unless you have OCD for numbers...

6600 is not worth it given the price jump from 6500...

 

[MoneyFace =p]

hmm thanks, i'll probably go for this, but can share why is it better ah

edit: im going to put a 950 PRO ssd in, h170 may be better?

You reap the same performance from both motherboards. The recommended one already offers everything a modern motherboard should have.

Thinking of reusing my 1tb hdd, cd drive and motherboard. I'm also running a 23" monitor. Thanks!

 

[silvertunazz]

Mobo:Asrock extreme 6
Casing:CM N600 or fractal design midi

Ddr4 Ram+psu+gpu+hdd use my old one

For mobo is asrock good?I always are Asus supporter however extreme 6 seem like have more sata port than other which this price range.

Some ppl say asrock not good but I've used mine for 3 years now, OK so far, 0 problems for moi

Their price is quite attractive imo
