Hi everybody,
In September I will be beginning my masters in CS and need to get a new computer as we will be running some software that my current pc cannot handle anymore.
I have been looking around a bit and came up with the configuration below :
Another question I had, is concerning the video card. Although I will not have a lot of time for gaming this year, I really would like the best graphical performance if I ever can play a game. It is the first time I have the chance to really build a high-end desktop and therefore would like the best performance that will last me a while. Is this card recommended or should I go for another config (SLI/Crossfire)?
Advice on the other components would also really be apreciated.
Thanks and kind regards,
Merlijn
