This is my first build and will practically just be using it for gaming. The components are;
Motherboard - ASUS M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+
RAM - Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600Mhz (1x8Gb)
Processor - FX-8350 Black Edition 8 core 4Ghz
PSU - OCZ Technology OCZ750FTY-UN ATX12V & EPS12V Power Supply - 85% Efficiency - 750 W - Internal
Graphics card - XFX Radeon HD 7850 Graphics Card 2GB PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDMI/Mini DisplayPort/DVI-I/DVI-D (Double Dissipation Edition)
HDD - Seagate Barracuda 3.5" 2Tb 7200Rpm 64Mb cache 6Gb/s SATA
OS - Windows 8 64 bit
Case - NZXT Phantom White Full tower
Drive - LiteOn IHOS104 4xSATA Internal BD-Rom
Water cooling - H60 Corsair
Plus extra case fan 140mm for front
I can get all of this for £813.28
When I have more money later on I may crossfire and increase RAM
The questions I have are;
Is this powerful enough to run like any game on highest settings?
Is the PSU higher than it needs to be and if so what what be more than enough?
Is a full tower case larger than I need keeping in mind I want to crossfire?
Is there a large difference between having single channel vs dual channel RAM?
Any improvements upon this build?
