Recommendation for gaming rig

(Help) Recommendation for gaming rig

My MSI P45 platinum mobo gged. So I guess it is time for a change.

I am hoping to keep my Enermax Naxn 600w PSU and my xfx 6850 gcard.

Any recommendations for mobo, cpu, case and ram? Furthermore, I am looking at a SSD and 1TB hd storage expansion.

My budget is around 800 to 1k.

Thank you!

Welcome to Hardware zone

Do you intend to OC your CPU?

@Madnessfan

Haha, thank you for the welcome! Hmm, I have no intentions to OC. But I am looking for a durable mobo.

I think you should state your usage pattern, ie the type of programs you run.

You might want to wait for Haswell before you make the change.

Suggested Rig

@Maeda_Toshiie

Surfing the net and gaming (dota 2, skyrim, far cry 3). No intention to OC.

@nippp0n

Yup, shall wait for the release of haswell before buying the older components.

I am looking at :

• gigabyte z77 hd3
• 3470 cpu
• Cosair Venegeance 8 gb
• SSD Samsung 840 120gb
• 1TB WD Blue

Is it okay?
