Computer Upgrading Help
Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone of you can help me with my computer upgrade.
I will be using this computer for Protein Folding (Folding@Home), Games and Homework
The budget I'm trying to aim is max of $300-400
The price I got was around $500-600
The things I need is:
RAM: 24GB (6 x 4GB) DDR3 1333 or 1600
It will be going into this motherboard http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as...6813128472
CPU Cooler: Like Corsair H80 Liquid Cooling, Cooler Master Hyper 212 ETC
Nothing too bulky. Need something good to cool my 980x since it gets extremely hot at 130 watts. Temperatures for me are usually near 80*C which is not in the recommended max temperature by Intel
OS: Window 7 Professional
SSD: Single 60-120gb SSD SATA II or if possible SATA III
Read Write above 250gb
Write Speed above 200mb
Thanks

For you, just sort Amazon by price descending and you're done
make sure you have a look at what pre-built computers are packing for that price range. Friend of mine who does this **** for a living was telling me it's getting to the point where building machines isn't neccessarily the best/cheapest way anymore.

The one you have now is a beast!
I need my computer to be able to be worth a good value. The current case and everything is pretty cheap and bad. Plus I want to run minecraft, fold, do hw and able to run alot of games.

I'm not much of a help, the last thing I had was a 3005 Dell XD
Good luck with your endevors though. I could also ask my uncle, hes built his own computers, and used to work for Oracle as a software engineer if you'd like?
