beaker Posted May 17, 2012 Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Do you need a monitor with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benobatman Posted May 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2012 Nah, just looking to spend that amount on the tower itself. then once its built up ill look at monitors, keyboards and a mouse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maxim Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've got that same case in black! Love it! I've expanded Beaker's list here and made it a little more detailed to give you a better idea of what to get. Intel Core i5 3570K Intel 520 Series 120GB SSD nVidia GTX 680 2GB ASUS P8Z68-V/Gen3 Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600 (blue heat spreaders look awesome with the motherboard) Western Digital Caviar Black 2TB Corsair AX750 Power Supply Corsair H100 CPU Cooler DVD Burner If you're feeling frisky, NZXT makes a 200mm blue LED fan that matches the one that comes with the case. It's the FS 200LED. You can add one to the top of the case as well as one on the side panel for greatly increased airflow and cooling. That came to a total of $1787 with about $110 in instant savings online from Newegg.com. I have no idea what the total would be from Amazon or another online retailer but it should be very close to $1900. It's a very top-end machine and can actually be scaled back a bit to save money if you don't plan on overclocking or just want to save a few bucks. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder. Also its more bang for my buck, more real estate for my dollar if you catch my drift. its like the Costco of streetwalkers. I was hoping for 150 . I was hoping she would let me put it in her butt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Specifically BF3 and a few others. wtf is lolcats? I'd def get a fat hooker if i had to resort to that kinda thing. I feel like they'd be grateful and work harder.
