Hello all,
I would like your opinions on my situation.
I am planning to make a completely new gaming rig, because the system I am using now can no longer keep up with the high demands of today's games.
I currently have:
Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo Processor E7300 (3M Cache, Overclocked @ 3,2 GHz, 1066 MHz FSB).
Motherboard: Asus P5KPL-C/1600, P35/G33/G31 chipset and American Megatrends BIOS.
Internal memory: 4GB RAM.
Hard drive: Samsung HD502IJ 500 GB (SATA-300, 7200 RPM).
Hard drive: Maxtor 6Y160M0 160 GB (SATA 150, 7200 RPM).
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce 9600 GT (512 MB, Overclocked @ 1 Ghz memory clock, 900 Mhz graphics clock).
Power supply: 400 Watts.
Monitor: Philips 170S (17 inch, 1280 x 1024, 75 Hz).
I want to replace almost everything (so also the motherboard and monitor etc.).
I do not need a new OS, new hard drives (except SSD) and a case.
Approximate purchase date: February.
Budget: approximate $750 (Before shipping).
Country: Netherlands.
Overclocking: Yes.
SLI/Crossfire: Maybe
I am looking for:
Processor: Intel or AMD, DDR3-1866 or higher, overclockable and 4/6 cores.
CPU cooler: about 2000 RPM.
Motherboard: AM3+ or 2011, DDR3 1866 Mhz or higher and SATA-600.
Internal memory: 8GB, DDR 3 1866 Mhz or higher and max. CAS latency 9.
SSD storage: 120-250 GB SSD (read/write: about 500 MB/s) and SATA-600.
And I will use my 2 hard drives for additional storage.
Graphics card: Nvidia, about 1000 cuda cores, at least 192 bit, GDDR5, about 1 Ghz base clock and 6.0 Gbps memory clock.
Powersupply: about 600 Watts.
Monitor: 1920x1080 (Full HD 1080p), LED, AH-IPS, about 20-26 inch, 60 Hertz or higher and a reaction time of max. 9 ms.
I have build this system already: My Future System Edit 3.
It is ~$750 (Before shipping).
It contains:
Processor: AMD FX 6300.
CPU cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus (2000 RPM).
Motherboard: MSI 970A-G46 ATX AM3+ Motherboard (1866 Mhz).
Internal Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws 8GB (1866 Mhz).
SSD: Kingston SV300S37A/120G (120GB).
Graphics card: Nvidia Geforce GTX 660.
Power supply: XFX 550W 80+ Bronze Certified ATX Power Supply.
Monitor: AOC i2267Fw (22 inch, 60 Hz, IPS and LED).
Let me know if this setup is possible, what you think of it and what could be improved (e.g. Intel i5 and other motherboard and/or a better graphics card (e.g. Nvidia Geforce GTX 760)).
Thank you.
