How good is this build? Need a fast answer!

Axzevos · Aug 3, 2013

Hello. I'am gonna buy a gaming computer but I don't know if this will "perfect" together. I know the SSD is not the best on the market, but it is cheap. So anything else I have to change?

Axzevos :

it is ok but the cooler is so-so

hint about the SSD , you can make things faster by using 2x 60G in Raid 0 ... will give you 120 and 1G/s read write .
choose the SSD with highest IOPS.

Looks fine to me.

SNA3 :

Well, what is about the cooler? You just wrote "it is ok but the cooler is so-so". I did not get that. Anyway, another cheap SSD I should take? Is this fine? It got 550/510 MB's instead of 450/450 MB's.

I would personally get a different graphics card(s), but your choice is not bad either. A more powerful, single-GPU configuration should be better in the long run.

gamingboy :

Yes. I made a thread about it for a second ago. Check it out and help me too choose. http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/answers/id-1755708/gtx-770-sli.html

gamingboy :

there is no powerfull single GPU faster than 2x GTX 770 ...

and gainward are good , you just dont have them in USA ..

here is an example

the Gainward Phantom are the BEST.

this Design is for both 770 and 780

so -so means acceptable but not for extreme cooling... .. when you join 2x SSD in Raid 0 you almost double the read write speed . it will be 1000/1000 not 500/500

try to get 60 G , with max iops and minimum 500/500 read write

how much do you want to pay for SSD ?

Axzevos · Aug 3, 2013

SNA3 :

Yes, thats why I take sli instead of gtx 780. I want a computer that won't make me rage of the lagg for atleast 3 years

. Anyway, its not the phantom. Will the not phantom be alright? Anyway, I can take 8gb ram instead of 16 and take gigabyte. Is it worth it?

SNA3 · Aug 3, 2013

Axzevos :

why not the phantom ? it is cooooool ..

if not the phantom get MSI TwinFrozor or Lightning.

one more thing , if you plan on 3 monitors 2G will not be enough , you need at leasr 3GDDR5 for gpu .. it is not important for most games , but Crysis 3 needs 2.2 in 3 monitors ..

I can maybe take the MSI twinfozor. It will cost me less then gigabyte and 50 dollars less then the gainward phanton. The phantom is WAAAY to expensive in norway. For 2 phantom instead og two normale gainwards will cost me 150 dollars more :3.

I like Twinfrozor more than Gigabyte ,

tel me about this :

1- do you want 2G or 4G GTX 770 ?

2- how much do you want to pay for SSD ? max ..

your motherboard is ok dont worry .. but does not have good onboard sound . is normal like all other mobos.

100 dollars? What about this SSD? http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=750724&CKS=PCW#extra

get this if you can http://www.komplett.no/k/ki.aspx?sku=765948

you need to look at IOPS read and write also , not only Sequential read and write ..

yours has only 20,000 IOPS .. is low

Can you tell me what IOPS do? Please explain it with easy words

in easy words , IOPS is the speed of reaching "small" files at Random .. like thousands windows files when booting ,and opening programs ...

the 500 MB/s you see is the speed of reading/writing a single file ... you can feel it in BIG files like movie files or so .. is called "sequential"

so you must have both top speeds ...

Samsug is like 90,000 IOPS write , while Kingston only 20,000

in simple language

But I want one that just boots up my computer fast and do like games load fast. What do I need for that? IOPS or MBS?
