What you guys think of this deal?:)

Hi there guys/gals,
This PC is **BRAND NEW**.... and ALL parts can be swapped for others at NO EXTRA COST! OS not included but a Legal copy can be arranged


Specs:
MOBO---------ASUS Rampage 2 Extreme
CPU----------Intel i7/Nehalem 920
CASE---------Coolermaster Cosmos RC-1000 Black label Limited edition with Windowed side panel
PSU----------850w realpower pro
CPU COOLER---Hyper Z600 black edition cpu cooler
RAM----------Corsair XMS 3 , with heatsink , 3 x 2Gb DDR3-1333
GPU----------Asus ENGTX285/HTDP/1GD3
SSD----------Kingston SNM125-S2/80GB SSD
HDD----------Western Digital CAViAR GP WD15EADS 1500gb/1.5Tb
DVD DRIVE----LG GH22NP20 , 22x
SCREEN-------Samsung 2333SW, 23" 1920X1280 FULL HD



Total - R30 000



OPTIONAL:
BRD----------LG GGW-H20L,black,Dual Layer,Blu-Ray writer
R2 700
 
if your going ALL OUT..get a modular PSU (corsair HX1000 is awesome)

Get a TRUE 120 Black CPU cooler

i would go for the XFX GTX285 Black Edition (fastest GTX285..core 690MHz)..if you dont mind getting a factory OC'd GTX275 (core 702MHz..amazing for the price = +/-R3500) it OC's easy to 730MHz..which makes the performance as good as a std GTX285

& why not go for the latest 2TB WD..

If you're splashing out, then atleast dump Western Digital for Seagate!

*shakes head*

at least your data on the 80GB will be safe :D

yeah Ziym3, there's nothing the HX1000 can't handle
 
thanks for the tips ... I cant change the CPU cooler as it is bundled with the case! I have only heard WD is better than Seagate so that is why i chose them. The 2TB HDD is double the 1.5TB!

R30000 for that? Jeez I expect triple-SLI for that money, plus 26" at least.
 
I know where the bundle comes from - so instead opt out of the Coolermaster Case+psu+cooler combo and go for Lian Li + True Black and the HX1000

As the same supplier stocks all of those items.

I think it's the SSD that pushes the 26" out.
 
its funny, Seagate only had a firmware issue on some of their drives! From all the drives ive supplied, only WD's have been returned. If you guys feel safer with WD - be my guest.

As for the Cooler master case - SIS... take the HAF, far better for cooling purposes!
 
That flipping SSD is like 6k but itself!
I did say any parts could be changed for free!
