Is this a good build for gaming and will everything work together are they compatible

 

[Deleted member 362816]

Yeah it will all work together fine.

 

[zachary5]

is it a nice setup for gaming

 

[Deleted member 362816]

Um if you dont mind me asking what are you going to play and what res? Gtx 580 is nice but atm this is a better card for alot less

460 2win seems like a good deal, but it will suffer from microstuttering and occasional compatibility issues. Neither of those problems come with the 580.

 

[Deleted member 362816]

Yeah ofc, Its just a cheaper way I prefer 1 card to 2 gpu cards but evga made this custom there usally decent, Also most new games are setup better for SLI then they used to be.

 

[mortonww]

Yeah, generally, but even crysis 2 had issues with multi-gpu systems when it first came out, so it still happens sometimes. He'll just have a lot less to worry about with a single fast card. And having witnessed microstuttering with my old gpu (4870x2), I just don't feel right recommending it.

 

[zachary5]

so stick with the setup i posted im going to be playing world of warcraft call of duty and other shooters

 

[mortonww]

You could get the Samsung Spinpoint F3 1 TB drive. It's $50, so faster and cheaper than that western digital.

 

[zachary5]

but other than that the setup is good

 

[mortonww]

Oh wait, also: try and fit a z68 motherboard in. This will allow you to add a small, cheap SSD in as a cache later on.

 

[zachary5]

so take out the asrock and what does the ssd do

 

[zachary5]

and what brand of z68

 

[mortonww]

You could get the gigabyte gaz68 ud4 for $160 or possibly another Asrock that is z68, like the Extreme3 z68. The SSD cache will be for frequently-accessed files. So programs you open a lot, startup items, etc won't be read from the slower hdd, but the ssd instead. Google "Intel SRT" to learn more. It really does seem like a great compromise between either having a capacious and cheap boot drive or fast, small and expensive boot drive.

 

[zachary5]

so really i dont need it just extra money will my gaming be the same with or without the ssd

 

[mortonww]

Yes, it will be the same except for slower load times and your boot will be slower. AsRock Z68 Extreme 3 is $130

 

[zachary5]

but in games will it load sload or just opening programs and it cant be that slow im on a laptop with 1.5ghz 3gb of ram

 

[zachary5]

not to many reviews about asrock z68

 

[Deleted member 362816]

the unefficent 4870x2 doesnt even compare to the evga 460x2 it has up to date driver support.

 

[zachary5]

what you talking about?

 

[Deleted member 362816]

The 460x2 which i linked above is cheaper and faster=just as fast as the 580 the other guy was pointing out issues that can arise when useing SLI 2 gpus at once.

 

[zachary5]

oh i see how bout 2 580's

 

[Deleted member 362816]

2x 580s lol, Why, if you can afford 2x 580s get a better case,hard drive,psu.

 

[zachary5]

haha no in the future and will 750watts be enough for the 580 and 1tb is enough for me

 

[Deleted member 362816]

mabye on a corsair ax750, not a silver.
