New Rig

Postby //RS Maverick » Thu Apr 29, 2010 9:14 am

I can't take playing ps3 online alone anymore... it's just not the same.

Been saving for a rig.

Not going to lie, these are some pretty bad choices

It's a little too much. Any recommendations to save some $ without losing performance?

I would say ditch the blu ray drive, unless you really need it.
You almost don't even need a DVD drive, but they are good to have.

Also maybe get a cheaper case?
I hear good things about the Cooler Master Haf 932

And you might want to look into SSD's over the VelociRaptor. I'm not sure about the specs.
