Hi all!

As the title reads I want to build a Sandy Bridge based rig as my current one is starting to show its grey hairs. My budget is R10 000 (approx $1440).

However I wont be buying a new monitor and mouse/keyboard. I play at a resolution of 1990*1080 if that helps. I was thinking of putting a GTX 580 in but that will be based on you guys' suggestions :D

Thanks in advance.

Why not keep everything but your RAM, MOBO, and CPU? Everything else is far from getting grey.

SOUTH AFRICA!!

Check out comx-computer.co.za

they have good intel sandy bridge for around R100-200 cheaper than most places

NEVER buy from chaos computers, there rip-offs.

Also id recomend ithemba but there a CPT shop, but if your from the mother city just google ithemba computers.

Evetech make MONSTERS! go on there site evetech.co.za

they will hook you up! and they deliver free!

hope to see you at OC!

So you reckon that I will be fine for a good couple of years with the 5870?

Yeah I know of Evetech and they do make truly great rigs. I have been searching of prophecy.co.za and they seem pretty good but will check out your suggestion.
