Hi
I am a computer noob and will be building a aming rig for the first time, and am wondering if you guys have any comments about it before I buy the parts:
CPU+mobo: Gigabyte Z68XP-UD3 / i7-2700k
GPU: Sapphire 7970 OC
HDD/SSD: Seagate 2TB/Plextor 64GB
Memory: Corsair Vengeance 2X4GB 1600 Cl9
CPU Cooler: CM 212 Plus
DVD RW: Samsung 22x
PSU: Seasonic 760W X Series
I intend to overclock the CPU to about 4.5 Ghz. I also intend to overclock the GPU. I am wondering if the PSU will be enough?
Also, I am wondering if the price of 7970 will drop further with the introduction of gtx 670 but I am rather impatient due to the availability of the 670 and 680 cards. Is it wise to wait?
Are there any compatibility issues that I have missed out with the rig? I am quite nervous as I do not want to buy the wrong stuff and have to rebuy the components. Any other recommendations?
Thanks for your time!
