Well im hoping tomorrow i will get the OK to Finance a new computer, i was thinking of upgrading selectivly but with a computer based off the AMD 939 chipset my options just dont exist so i have decided to go balls out and get a whole new rig.
Im impatient and would rather finance and get it now and pay it off in 3-4 months than wait 3-4 months to get it, plus it gives me the option to take a year to pay it off i choose.
Gonna go with an Intel build this time around, new case and all. Figure what the hell. 1 year term and its still gonna be less than $175 a month if i choose to just make all the payments.
Heres the specs im pretty much set on, stock availability might make some changes but nothing too far off this set of goodies
CPU - Intel Core i7 920 2.66Ghz
Mobo - Asus P6T X58
Ram - Corsair XMS3-1333 PC3 10666 Core i7 Triple Channel 3x2gb (might get all 12gb now, a friend has the same setup as above and he is running 12gb stable without any issues)
Video Card - evga e-geforce GTS 260 896mb dual/dvi hdtv out (very slim chance i might get 2 now and go SLI i just don't have a need for it right now - but i am financing it... might just get it all at once on one bill)
PSU - Corsair 850W modular unit (again might bump to 1000w if i go SLI)
HDD - either a 1.5tb seagate or a 1Tb WD Caviar depending on available stock. (i haven't had any issues with seagate fwiw, i hear alot of horror stories but so far no issues for me)
Case - Antec 900 Ultimate Gamer with the 2 option fans as well. (might bump to the 900 II Ultimate Gamer Case for the extra fan controls and a tad more room for cooling passages)
OS - Windows7 Professional 64bit
Overkill for now but it leaves me sitting on a hell of a computer should i get the urge to get back into any sort of gaming. All told it will run me around $1700 with the company discount i found out about (unless i add the 2nd card and bigger PSU and the better case). would have been about $1900 retail, about $2200 with the extras.
I was going to shop around and piece it together with a best price i can find kinda deal, but after deciding to try and finance i figured for the $150 i might have saved looking around i might as well just get it all in once place to avoid headaches.
