Hey guys, need a little advice on by build! :D (btw im really new to building comps)
So far I've got
CPU: Intel i7 2500k or i7 2600k (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072)
(http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115070) any suggestions on which to pick
GPU: either 2 GTX570s or 1 GTX 590
Motherboard : not sure (please suggest good ones)
RAM: Corsair 8g (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820145345) or 16g (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820233288)
PSU: Corsair 750w PSU (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139021)
HDD: havent picked yet. Was wondering whether to go for a SSD HDD combo or just for a HDD.
Case: Cooler Master HAF (dont remember name excacltly but its full tower and should fit everything in)
I will also buy CPU cooler but i havent decided on it yet. Basically by goal here is to build a powerful gaming comp that would be able to run the higher up games that are out there today on semi-highest setting without having too much problem running them. My budget is like 1500 eurs( ~1900dollars? )
Any input would help alot and please pm with suggestions on how to improve the build
You want to run on semi-highest settings? Not absolutely maxed? An i7 has no benefit over an i5 for pure gaming, and unless you want to completely max AA/AF, you're talking WAY more GPU than you need. Unless you're above 1080p, that is.
|
What is your budget?
About $1,500, I would prefer to spend less
What is your resolution?
I will be using two monitors with 1680x1050 resolution
What are you using it for?
Its mostly for gaming movies and music
What is your upgrade cycle?
More likely 4+ years
When do you plan on building it?
As soon as I can. Summer just begun for me :D
Do you plan on overclocking?
Most likely not because I dont have enough knowledge on overclocking just yet.
Do you need an Operating System?
Nope, most likely use a crack copy or something
Do you plan to add a second GPU for SLI or Crossfire?
Probably will, with the budget that I have
Where are you buying your parts from?
I will most likely buy them online from Newegg. If there are any other sites that are cheap, please let me know
Thanks for your help!

you can save some money then by not getting the "K" version. If your going to add another GPU then just get a gtx 680, it outpeforms the 570's in sli.

Yes that is a good cpu for streaming. If your friend is set on a cheap streaming build, then that coupled with the above build would be ideal.

Quick question: whats a good, reliable PSU for an i5 2500 + gtx 670 system? The i5 isn't overclocked, the 670 might be stock or factory OCed.

Yeah amd is cheaper but shittier, your choice. 10-20 bucks more you'll get intel with a lot more performance

and a P67 board

hi could you help me out choose a CPU? What for a CPU do i need to stream starcraft 2 1080p?

Hihi
Just a quick repost, trying to get answers to these questions
On June 07 2012 01:39 FakePseudo wrote:+ Show Spoiler +Hi guys, Following your multiple pieces of advice, i think i'm pretty much finished with selecting the components of my build. Just posting this for a last check: + Show Spoiler +(yeah i forgot to take a cd/dvd burner, but i was too lazy to reload the image) So here are my four last questions -Is everything fitting alright together? -I'm somewhat worried with the mobo choice, given i see Z77 everywhere. I was though told that the B75Pro3 was one worthy choice if i werent going to OC or anything crazy -I don't find any GTX460 on the EU online stores. Either tell me where i can find one (save for one 200€ GPU i saw on alternate.nl i think), either tell me if my choice of getting a GTX550 is the right one, either convince me to spend an extra bit for the GTX560, given that im not really graphics oriented (running on med ftm, principally worried about getting everything as smooth as possible) -I'm planning on building this after my finals, so it will be on like july the first or something like that, will there be some new crazy stuff (i mean that will concern my build) out till then? Thank you and sorry for bad english
Thank you very much!
