HI Guys,
I have been needing a very high-performance pc after my last build (which was 8 years ago!) finally died. So pardon me if my tech talk is not upto speed but I believe this is a damn good build for the price
What you get:
Intel Qaud Core i5 6600 3.9GHz 6th Gen Skylake
H170 motherboard
16gb DDR4 ram 2133Mhz
1TB 7200rpm HDD
240 gb SSD
R9 390 8GB gDDR5 GPU or gtx 970 4gb gDDR5 for $10 more
Optical drive
650W psu (very highly recommend to upgrade to this as bare minimum)
Process
Step 1.
Go here and add this as the base build to your cart:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Intel-Qaud-Core-i5-6600-3-9GHz-8G…
Step 2.
Go back to above link, and pick upgrade ram option 8gb->16gb ( or just go here and add to cart http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/161813007301)
Step 3.
Go back to step 1 link, and pick upgrade motherboard option H110->H170 (or add to cart http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/162024708825)
Step 4.
Go back to step 1 link, and pick upgrade PSU option 550W->650 Watt Bronze ( or http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/172153389147) Highly recommend you guys to upgrade the PSU
Step 5. Now to add SSD, 240gb - go here (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/252624) or here http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Sandisk-SSD-Plus-240GB-520MB-s-La…
Please note Step 1-4 is one build, assembled, tested and delivered, step 5 is delivered separately, I was going to use the upgrade option but u/donnot pointed we can save few more $$ if we buy separately
Your final total should read $1579
use the current eBay promotion code from here (https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/252388)
Your build should now be $1263.20
if you use cash rewards 1.25% cashback, your net build is going to be $1247.40
Those who want the GTX 970 4gb for $10 more (net $8 after discount) use this as the basebuild - http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Intel-Quad-Core-i5-6600-3-9GHz-8G… rest of the steps are same
This does not come with windows - personally I am going to purchase windows 7 pro key from reddit microsoft market place for $20 USD and get the free upgrade to windows 10 till July 29.
Agreed. My point was that I will be using the 16gb to full extent.
