A new PC

[omer681]

Hey, I need a gaming computer that will hold out for at least 2-3 years, and I got the following build from an Israeli forum:

Intel Quad Core I5 2500K Quad Core 3.3GHZ 1155 6MB + Scythe Mugen 2

Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3-B3

SilverStone RAVEN 3

Seasonic M12II-620 620W Active PFC Modular 80+ Bronze

4Gb 1600 KINGSTON HYPER X BLUE - x2

Sparkle GTX570 1280MB GDDR5 HDMI - Overclocked - x2

LG DVD-RW x22 Dual Layer Sata Black

Someone else suggested to switch the power supply to a non modular one with 750W.

I have no idea how much this is in dollars, since the prices in Israel are different.
I'd be glad for you to inspect the build, and maybe recommend another one at roughly the same price.

Thanks, Omer.

Based on this I recommend 6950 2 GB CrossFire over 570 SLI: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/charts/2011-gaming-graphics-charts/3DMark11-Enthusiast,2660.html Faster and cheaper!

My personal favourite Z68 board is the ASRock Extreme3 Gen3.

I agree about 750W just so you don't have to worry about the PSU giving up on you. Maybe with the money you save from not getting the 570s you can get a 750W modular PSU

1. From what I saw, 570 SLI is better in gaming than 6950 CF (My resolution is 1920x1080)
2. I have no idea what is a modular PSU
