Custom Built Gaming Computer

Had a customer looking for a new system that would be powerful enough for his son to play games on. They went the Dell route for their last 3 computers but wanted something affordable and would be good enough to handle games for years. Below are the specifications for this system I put together:

  • ASUS Sabertooth X58 Intel X58 LGA 1366 Motherboard
  • Intel Core i7-940 2.93GHz 8MB LGA 1366 Processor
  • Corsair Vengeance 4GB PC13800 DDR3 1600MHz Memory (x2)
  • ASUS GeForce GTS 450 1GB GDDR5 PCIe DVI/HDMI/VGA Video Board
  • Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB SATA HD 7200/32MB/SATA-6G Hard Drive
  • Sony Optiarc 24X DVDRW SATA
  • Ultra X4 750W Modular Power Supply

All contained within an Ultra XBlaster Mid-Tower Black Case running Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit.
