Build Your Own: Sandy Bridge system





My post the other day about how Intel’s Sandy Bridge Core i7-2600K processor offers far better value for money has prompted you folks to ask me to come up with an outline for a build your own Sandy Bridge system.

Sandy Bridge to become a cheaper date in September



According to CPU World, Intel does have some Sandy Bridge price cuts in the cards. Come September, The Core i7-2600S and the Core i5-2500T, 2500S, 2405S, 2400S, and 2390T will see their prices drop by 2-6%—small change, in other words. More substantial price cuts are purportedly slated for October, when the Core i3-2120 and a couple of Pentiums will be discounted by 13-15%. Look out, Llano.

Sadly, the most appealing CPUs for enthusiasts, the fully unlocked Core i5-2500K and i7-2600K, appear set to hold the line on pricing. That's a little surprising given the (hopefully) imminent debut of Bulldozer-based desktop chips from AMD, which will surely include similarly unlocked derivatives. We don't yet know how Bulldozer will perform, of course. Perhaps Intel has more insight on how much of a threat the upcoming FX processors will be.
