Peter Read - ASUS Master Challenge Top 10


NOMINATED ASUS MOTHERBOARD: P7P55D DELUXE




NOMINATED ASUS GRAPHICS CARD: ASUS EAH5870




CPU: Intel i5-750 1156pin
The Intel i5-750 1156 CPU fits with the P7P55D Deluxe Motherboard perfectly. Also, the i5-750 gives enough "horsepower" to setup a triple-screen display, for racing games like Colin McRae DiRT 2 and First Person Shooter games like Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2.
    
CPU COOLER: Thermaltake SpinQ CL-P0466
It looks sweet and its unique design means it optimizes cooling.

MEMORY:  4 GB (2x2G) G Skill DDR3 2000Mhz PC16000
To make the most of the P7P55D's Dual Channel Memory. It can take up to 2200Mhz (O.C). The RAM looks super cool in the motherboard too!

AUDIO: Onboard
On-board 10 Channel Audio is good enough.

HARD DRIVE 1: Western Digital 1.5TB Green 64MB SATAII WD15EARS
It has reduced power consumption compared to a normal Hard Drive, and keeps cool and quiet. Also has 1.5TB so can keep alot of your videos, music, pictures, and most importantly, games!

HARD DRIVE 2: Western Digital 1.5TB Green 64MB SATAII WD15EARS
It's identical to the first hard drive.

OPTICAL DRIVE: ASUS SDRW-08D1S-U
Rated 10/10 on Test-Freaks.com and its made by ASUS so it must be good.

PSU: Antec EarthWatts 750
I run this in my own computer, and in my experience I have had, not 1 problem yet. I love it.

CASE : NZXT Guardian 921
Hands down the most beautiful case I have laid eyes on. Its also a great way to show off to your friends you have a sweet gaming rig!

MONITOR: Dell UltraSharp U2711 27in 
Has a HUGE resolution, 2560 x 1440 (WQHD) and a In-Plane Switching technology, which means glare does not become a huge issue either.

KEYBOARD:  Microsoft Retail Desktop 600
Its very basic, but does the job. Also very cheap too compared to a hardcore gaming keyboard. I noticed that the gaming keyboards do not make a big difference in enjoying the game or even being good at the game;

OPERATING SYSTEM: Microsoft Windows 7 Ultimate x64
I run this operating system at home and it is by far the best operating system I have ever used. I recommend it to anyone who is going to purchase a good end computer with 4gb of RAM.
