Comes out to about $2,500 I was wondering how it looks to you? Or if you have any suggestions for improvement or whatever.
and this is the reason i asked you before i bought anything. So with all those changes it comes out to about 1,791 is there anything else i need? what about a wireless card?
No problem. That $500+ you save could be used to buy other things. This system is better than my current box with the exception of number of cores, 4 vs. 6, and hard drive space, 1.08TB vs. 5.5TB. I didn't even know tri-channel was a thing until today.
Save yourself about $100 on memory and just get six of these. Timings are the same as the memory you have up there. They do support tri-channel setups.
Any reason you are buying two optical drives? According to Tigerdirect, that Pioneer burns DVDs and CDs as well.
