due to the nature of building a custom computer you may find compatibility issues with the following parts list today in view of my next computer build video this time at the $1400 price point at this price you'll be getting a sul computer for doing almost anything however do keep in mind that unlike previous builds I built this computer to my specific needs so you may want to make some changes depending on what you plan on doing with the computer to begin with we have the Intel Core i7 2670 CPUs available right now this makes a fantastic starting point for our build it features 4 physical cores with hyper-threading clocked 3.4 gigahertz stock and can be overclocked very easily my build is at 4 gigahertz but nothing at all is stopping you from going much higher this will run you 315 dollars to help us get a nice overclock we will be using the cooler master hyper 212 + CPU cooler with a 120 millimeter fan that comes with it and an optional second fan for push-pull airflow on the massive heatsink this keeps the CPU nice and cool for $40 for a motherboard I chose the gigabyte z68 X UD 3p as one of the new z68 boards that you'll find some new features including support for SSD caching dual BIOS plenty of SATA 3 and USB 3 connections and gigabytes very solid build quality with support for both crossfire and sli graphics configurations this will run you $170 moving on to the graphics card I chosen as soos Radeon 6850 well you absolutely could go for something with a bit more punch like a 69 fifty or sixty nine seventy here I found that the 6850 can handle most games available today such as Starcraft 2 Battlefield Bad Company 2 and Just Cause two maxed out at 1080p without a problem with full support for DirectX 11 a pair of DVI ports along with display at HDMI and a reasonable price of $150 after rebate this is a solid card for memory we'll be using a gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance Ram running in dual channel this memory is clocked at 1600 megahertz which is about the sweet spot for RAM on the Sandy Bridge platform the only downside to this memory is that the heat sinks are rather large making it very difficult to mount a second fan to the CPU cooler other than that this is solid for $85 storage is more than taken care of by an ocz vertex three 120-year bytes solid-state drive as one of the best current solid-state drives for you'll find stellar read and write speeds across the board with this letting windows booting around 10 seconds and even memory hungry applications such as Photoshop load extremely quickly at $270 currently this will do a lot to keep your computer speeding since 120 gigabytes really isn't enough for most people we'll be using a high tachi 2 terabyte hard drive to supplement the solid-state drive even though you should mainly use this for documents music and videos you'll find that it's really quite fast in its own right for $80 while a DVD burner certainly isn't necessary these days on a bill like this there's no reason not to include one for 21 dollars a light yon drive will do just fine for the case I chose the Kula Master half 9:12 while certainly not an expensive case by any means it offers a lot of solid features including plenty of room for installing additional fans easy access to the dust filters for cleaning an expensive interior for lots of hard drives graphics cards as well as a cage for installing a pair of 2.5 inch hard drives on the bottom of the case if you have to have LEDs and huge windows by all means pick a different case but if you want to add something that still looks good but it's quite a bit more understated I highly recommend a half 9:12 for $50 after rebate with a higher-end vil like this you don't want to skimp on the power supply so today we'll be using the corsair TX 750 horse a typically makes very high quality power supplies and with the TX 750 you will get 750 watts of power for a reasonable price allowing you to overclock add extra hard drives or even upgrade or add additional graphics cards without needing to worry about power issues for $100 lastly we have a system builders copy of Windows 7 home premium of course if you like you could install Linux or a copy of Windows you already have but otherwise this will run you $90 so how much damage did we do as of June 15th 2011 on newegg.com the entire parts list will run you 1390 dollars and 88 cents after all rebates for the price you'll be getting a fantastic computer for gaming video editing and just about anything else you need to do after using this computer for the past few weeks I've got to say I'm very pleased with just about everything about it but of course feel free to customize it to your own liking if you found this video helpful be sure to click the subscribe button up above to be notified with all of my new content
