Barebones kit - i5-2500k, 8gb, Radeon HD6870, 120gb SSD

[mrdeeno]

Hey, just saw this barebones kit and was wondering if it would work. Looks like motherboard is in the DSDT database and GPA is supported, and includes a 120gb SSD..

I'm going to go the "custom" route because I want an i7-2600k w/o an SSD (gonna wait for prices to fall further before taking the plunge), but just throwing this up there in case anyone is looking for an easy package to purchase that would work.

YES....It should be an easy hack since all key components are in the list.

Not sure about the prices in the bundle since I didn't compare, but I suspect you may not be saving too much versus buying these components individually.

You have to compare 1 by 1 using the cheapest offer..that's the only way to know.
Over all, the components are solid...minus the PSU.
