$

0
Hi all, this is my first time building a rig as my laptop's gfx died on me after 3 years. I've a budget of 2.3k including the rig itself, OS, monitor and speaker. I plan on overclocking the CPU so I would need a K series chip and Z77 mobo.

Below are the setup I've come up with now any advice on the setup would be greatly appreciated:

CPU & MB: Intel i5-3570K + ASRock Z77 Extreme 4 @ $467
HSF: (Anything below 100 need recommendation)
RAM: G.Skill NT DDR3-1600 CL11 8GB [Black PCB] @ $77
GPU: PowerColor HD 7970 3GB V3 @ $496
SSD: Plextor M5 Pro Xtreme 256GB @ $265
HDD: Hitachi Deskstar 7K1000.C 1TB @ $79
ODD: Samsung 24X CD/DVD Writer [OEM] @ $22
PSU: FSP Platinum Modular @ $125
CASE: NZXT Phantom 410 (Gunmental) @ $169 (Is the gunmental edition still available?)
DSP: Dell UltraSharp U2412HM 23" LED [eIPS] @ $335
OS: Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit [OEM] @ $110
WIFI: TP-Link TL-WN722N Wireless-N 150 Mbps [USB] @ $26
Speaker: (Anything below 100 need recommendation)

Total: $2171 (without including speaker and HSF)

Oh ya, I would like to ask if Fortran is still providing service for rig assemble and delivery? Is his price competitive?
