LC-CC-120

Not great. That processor is basically half as powerful as an Intel Core i7-4770K, and the integrated graphics won't do anything for you anyway.

Noctua NH-D15 CPU cooler

I guess the Zalman CNPS10X Extreme might be worth looking into. 100I guess that’s it. Maybe.
ASRock Z68 Extreme4— 400I guess it's just a quick note to say thanks. Maybe I'll be back soon.
Maybe 8GB of RAM should be enough, I guess. 300
MSI GeForce GTX 560 Ti Twin Frozr III, 1GB. 500-600
Maybe it's worth looking at the Samsung 840, 120GB—I guess. 450
The XFX 850 w Pro power supply— 450-500
The Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 case— $100
I'm really not sure what to make of this Razer BlackWidow mechanical keyboard.

You messed up a few things, I guess. 😁

This case is brand new, I guess. $367So, you can. $200 I guess we'll see what happens. Maybe.
Maybe an SSD is worth it? I guess we'll see. $133
I guess we're talking about CPU coolers now? $67The new guy was around... $150I guess Noctua is getting pretty close to matching them when it comes to cooling performance.
Maybe the keyboard is around $350? I guess.$133

You should probably at least put in... $1333 Starting off, you can too. $1400 Just thinking about this for a potential downgrade.

Unfortunately, they don't have the 970A-DS3P in stock, but this one is slightly more expensive—though I guess it's actually a bit better, too.

Maybe check this out for $215...

If you decided to keep the HDD and the case:

Gigabyte Radeon GV-R928WF3OC-3GD, AMD Radeon R9 280, PCI-E 3.0, 3072 MB
ASRock B85 motherboard
Intel Core I5 4460 + DOD INT i5/i7 BUNDLE
Crucial Module 8GB, 240-pin DIMM, DDR3 PC3-12800, CL11, Unbuffered, NON-ECC
Super Flower Golden Green HX 80 plus Gold power supply - 550 Watt

Total cost: $1616 center.com

You could probably just grab that Seagate 3 TB or maybe spend a little more on a Seagate IronWolf 3 TB; I think they're actually some of the cheapest options at Best Buy right now.😬

The starting point might be $667, though realistically, it’ll probably be a bit less than that.

Intel Core i3-4170 desktop CPU (3.7GHz, 3MB, LGA1150) box version.
The MSI H81M-E33 2 motherboard.
2x Crucial 4GB DDR3 RAM, 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800), CL11.

All things considered: $587 +$13 Shipping via Centro.

You don't really need that Intel chip. There isn't much room for an upgrade later on, and honestly, the whole platform ends up being a bit pricier. It has slightly better integrated graphics, but the processor itself is weaker since it's single-threaded.

You could probably set $667 as the starting point, though I guess it's closer to $600.

Transcend 8GB DDR3L 1600 U-DIMM 2Rx8
The Thermaltake TR2 450W Bronze power supply.
Maybe consider the AMD Athlon x4 840 (3.1GHz, 4MB, 65W, FM2+), just boxed up and ready to go.
The MS Carbon case, just the chassis without the power supply.
I guess it’s an MSI AMD A68HM-E33 motherboard.
Seagate BarraCuda Hard Drive (3.5", 1TB, 32MB, SATA III-600)

Total: $726 I guess I'm just checking in.

Even if I stretch the budget to its absolute limit, settle for a slightly lower-end motherboard, and make sure to include 8GB of RAM, the Hexa+ still seems to be out of reach.

I think they copied the wrong link :klap: 🤦

EDIT: http://www.amazon.com/details/product-link

If I had picked this up, it probably would've worked out just fine.

The power supply and motherboard are both pretty much toast. You might have to part with 4GB of RAM just to afford replacements down the road.

At the very least, grab an Asrock 980 de U3S3 and a Forton Hexa+ 400W (though I think they're out of stock at Micro Center right now). Also, maybe ditch the current cooler and go with a Spira Kepler Rev2.

That Silverstone unit is basically just their office-grade stuff, similar to the Corsair VS series, though maybe with slightly better capacitors. There's a version without the -230 that's been bumped up, which I guess would be the next step up in quality toward the STxxF-ESB models.

I wonder what they'll put it in for free? 🙂>

Looks like there are a million different ways to go about this...

FX 6100 + R9 270 + 8GB RAM
FX 8300 + R9 270 + 4GB RAM (~$33 probably over budget)
i3 4170 (3.7GHz) + R9 270 + 8GB RAM
FX 8300 + R7 260X + 8GB RAM

Maybe this is actually better than the XFX one. 🙂

For $3.00, I wouldn't go grab coffee just once. 😬

I’d go with the LC-CC-95; it’s probably quieter than Kepler 😉 ...you can grab one for $33 at Lincoln if you aren't living in NYC.
