Due to a good deal I can get through a family member, I am buying this package:
Intel BOXDZ77GA70K LGA 1155 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155 77W Quad-Core Desktop Processor Intel HD Graphics 4000 BX80637I53570K
Intel 520 Series Cherryville SSDSC2CW240A3K5 2.5" 240GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
I am not interested in OC or games, so this is probably kinda overkill for a pretty vanilla home computer running Linux.
For memory I'm interested in longterm stability as much as speed. So I am considering getting an aftermarket cooler, this is one I'm looking at:
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212 Plus RR-B10-212P-G1
I am concerned about the clearance, so I am considering the Ares because of it's low profile:
G.SKILL Ares Series 16GB (4 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-1600C9Q-16GAO
This is the case I'm considering:
COOLER MASTER Silencio 450 RC-450-KKN1 Black Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
Any comments about the above configuration would be appreciated. But the reason I'm writing is to ask about the Ares memory. I found this thread on Tom's Hardware that suggests a possible problem with the Ares (regarding voltages):
http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/30...aws-skill-ares
I'm not wanting to tweak this system much since I don't know anything about configuring CPU's and memory- I just want to do a simple but appropriate configuration that will be stable in the long term. In fact, I will likely wire hire someone to put the system together for me, but I would like to feel the choice of components is good, particularly the memory.
Thanks for your comments,
Keith Ostertag
