Intel’s Ivy Bridge chipset has opened a whole new door of possibilities to those interested in purchasing a custom desktop system, without emptying the wallet. They key word is “value” and that’s exactly what Ivy Bridge provides. This configuration looks to be either a powerful custom desktop system, or a moderate photo editing system. Either way, the Intel i7-3770 Quad-Core processor is a great place to start. Throw in the ASUS, Sabertooth Z77 motherboard for guaranteed expandability options and you’ve created a healthy dose of possible high-end hardware upgrades. The Kington 16GB (4 x 4GB) XMP HyperX Genesis RAM is a great way to keep the system resource healthy, and ensure many applications can run at once. The EVGA GeForce® GTX 550 Ti graphics card will assist with real-time renders, during photo modification, and also provide mid-range gaming performance. The end-user added an Intel 180GB 520 Series SSD to polish off the rest of the configuration and ensure there’s very little bottleneck in this custom desktop system.
