I took a list of what I wanted to Centrecom along with comparable prices from CPL / MSY. I had a chat for about 90 minutes with their senior sales rep and managed to squeeze them on whatever they were retailing for more money (which was good as a few items they had for cheaper than MSY).I core 5 4670Gigabyte H87M motherboardKingston 8GB RAMSamsung 840 EVO 120g SSDSeagate 1TB 7200rpm HDDnVidia Geforce GTX 760 (some splinter cell version of it)Corsair HX650W PSUThermaltake Chaser A41 mid towerLite On DVD burner (was $20 lol)Originally I was going to go with the K version of the CPU I bought, but they convinced me not to bother as I would have had to buy a more expensive motherboard to be able to overclock it down the road.The fun will begin when I find the time to sit down and assemble. I've read a few articles that say to buy some sort of anti static wrist band to avoid frying the CPU(it earths you out to the tower). Do you guys use these?

freeze_dk I am dissatisfied with my current employment situation Donating Members 8,610 Member For: 18y 3m 24d Gender: Male Posted 08/12/13 11:51 AM Share Posted 08/12/13 11:51 AM (edited) I've never worked with an anti static strap, there mainly for working with monitors. Unless your working on carpet then yeah, get one. Also not good to use magnetic screw drivers Edited 08/12/13 11:53 AM by freeze_dk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
