Best barebones or mobo/cpu/memory package
I'm looking for the best and latest motherboard/processor/memory bundle or barebones deal I can find right now. I missed out on the Dell deals, they looked pretty solid but I already have two copies of Windows 7 I can use, and the hard drive is still solid with a 65g SSD I just purchased.If you know of any exceptional deals on video cards as well, I'm in the market for an upgrade on that as well. But primarily I need the new 3. My current motherboard has voltage irregularities and is a HUGE PIMA. I'm sick of it and looking at the reviews on the various motherboards and processors out there. It would seem as though getting one of the new Sandy chips would be the way to go. So I was thinking a core-i5 would do nicely. One of the k versions so that I have more overclocking availability. From what I could tell, water cooling really doesn't allow for much greater dispersion of heat from the CPU. I have a case that works just fine, but I'm willing to look at any that might be suggested from this post as well. I hope some people reply with suggestions. I'm eager to make the purchase soon, and was hoping some of you out there might know about some really great deals that I'm currently unaware of. I intend to buy ASAP, so I'll be monitoring this thread for the next couple of days, or until someone makes a suggestion that sounds like a great deal for what I'm after. Thank you ahead of time to anyone that replies! |

Even if it isn't a "bundle" per say (and the last one I got was from mwave), even if it's the best price you can get on the three most highly recommended/performing motherboard/cpu/memory selections you can get. That would be appreciated as well. If you get it all from the same place, the shipping shouldn't be a whole lot more I would imagine. That's one reason I've never been a big fan of buying components from different places. The shipping costs add up.

I don't live anywhere near a Microcenter. I'm down in South Florida. I decided to go with Newegg after some further research into it.
