This is the follow up thread to my "Looking for a new monitor" post here... viewtopic.php?f=33&t=8463
Here is a "Speccy" list of the hardware. Most is new stuff. My budget was £750 GBP and had to include a monitor.
CPU - Not had an Intel cpu since a core 2 duo. This is a lot faster than my last cpu which was a AMD A10-5700.
Intel Core i5 4670K @ 3.40GHz
Haswell 22nm Technology
RAM - Mushkin (Munchkin lol) Blackline. I must check those timings it's advertised as 9-9-9-24.
8.00GB Dual-Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz (11-11-11-28)
Motherboard - Best(?) mobo within my budget
MSI Z87-G43 GAMING
Graphics - Monitor is AOC 2769vm 27 Inch IPS Monitor. Haven't had a gfx card for ages as always used integrated. My old AMD A10-5700 could play BF4 at reduced settings but this GTX 760 lets me play at 1080p on ultra settings.
AOC 2769M (1920x1080@60Hz)
2047MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 (MSI)
Storage - These drives are from my old rig. I'm still surprised at how fast the SSD is. Will be getting another HDD for backups.
1863GB Seagate ST2000DM001-1CH164 (SATA)
119GB OCZ-VERTEX4 (SSD)
Optical Drives - Don't really need this and may add it to my childrens PC I'm building from all the old bits.
TSSTcorp CDDVDW SH-222BB
Audio - On board sound.
Realtek High Definition Audio (ALC1150)
The speakers attached are Edifier e10. Had these already and they are great and loud.
Mouse is a Roccat Lua. Not a gaming mouse but nice and comfortable with an "upto" 2000dpi resolution. This rolls nicely on Roccat Taito mouse mat.
Key board is just and old MS 600 thing. It does it's job.
Other stuff I may get :-
AIO water cooler for the 4670k.
USB DAC and speakers for better sound.
XBOX 360 game controller.
Remote control for when I'm watching movies or listening music from my bed. I can control the PC with my Android phone but remote would be easier.
