Hi guys,
I've decided to treat myself to a gaming rig after many years of sub-par PCs! I don't want to physically
build my own as i'm always terrified i'll muck it up. So after finding a decent(ish) site, I've choosen the following and was hoping for your thoughts/opinions on what isn't neccesary (I.E. I have no idea if I need this cooling or standard
cooling is sufficient?) and what could do with an improvement!
Any help is greatly apprecieated,
Thanks!
Processor: i7-920 (4x 2.66)
RAM: 6GB CORSAIR XMS3 1600Mhz
Motherboard: ASUS P6T (Dunno if I should upgrade this, other options are P6T Deluxe V2 and RAMPAGE II Extreme?)
OS: Vista 64bit
HD: 150GB WD VelociRaptor
GFX: 1792MB GeForce GTX295
Sound Card: Sound-Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1
Power Supply & Case Cooling: 900W Quiet Quad Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan (The site tells me I only need around
730w (which includes a 20% allowance) but the difference between 800 and 900w is £8 so I figure best to get this
incase of upgrades in future?)
Cooling: ASUS Triton 81 pure copper base ultra cooler
My main thoughts/concerns are on the motherboard, PSU and cooling.
£1554 inc vat et delivery. This is pretty much the limit of my budget, I realise I'll be overpaying as I'm not making the system myself, but I'll be in a better state of mind!
