Hi Rocky,

Interesting case!  

  1) Don't attach a fan on the side - that will reduce the effectiveness of
front to back airflow.
  2) With a large fan on top, this PC may be noisy.

Subject: [dba-Tech] Building a New Comp

After a trip to Fry's Noah has spec'd a new comp to build.  Any advice here?
He's going to take the HD from his current box (7200rpm) and put it in the
new box.
 
He's doing some on-line gaming so the graphics card is important.
 
(Myself - I think I'm going with the Dell i7 - ~$1000 but maybe a deal will
pop up in the next couple days)
 
TIA
 
Rocky

Totals to $789 with the ram I want, but if I can get DDR5 10600 then I'd
rather go for that. If so, the total will likely be $809-$819  
 
Case: CM HAF 912 ($60)

Motherboard: GA-Z86MA-D2H-B3
(http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3855#ov) ($99)

Processor: Core i7 Gen II, quad core (LGA1155) ($300)

Graphics card: GTX 560 Ti - 500W ($230)

Power supply: 600W (missing model) ($50)

8GB RAM: http://www.frys.com/product/6522023 (hopefully) ($50)

 

Total: $789
