BF2S Forums Build for <$700

This is a better option in my opinion. Probably about the best performance you will get for $700.

Thanks for the suggestions guys. I'll be buying the parts in a few weeks and may have to adjust the price limit a bit.

Is there any benefit to 6gb/s compared to 3gb/s ?
Any ideas how loud this thing would be?

For a hard drive there is no benefit for 6gb/s over 3gb/s. It really only matters on high-end SSDs.

Yes, true, although a theoretical difference in reading/writing speeds to the disk cache..
e. the prices for 6gb/s and 3gb/s hdd are almost the same here in DK. price difference around 2$ :?

That true if you are comparing the same brand. But 3gb/s Samsung 1TB = $59. Whereas 6gb/s WD Black 1TB = $89. Definitely not worth the price difference for a $700 budget.

Yes.

What difference is there between an i5 2500K and i5 2500?  I understand the K denotes it's "unlocked", but since i'm not buying it in a pre-built system, could I still overclock it?
