Hello all, just bought a new PC only made for gaming and would like your opinions on it. I would like to know if this would run games at high or ultra for the next few years before adding in another 780.
I do know that O/C'ing the CPU will do nothing for gaming, I just want to play around a little bit with it and wanted to be safe with the H100i, same applies with the 2400mhz ram. I know if the system has been O/C'd it will provide a minor boost (1-5%) I've heard, but only spent another $8.00 for it!
Any comments are welcome as well with things I did wrong!
Harry.
Things to note are;
- I plan to SLi later (850 PSU)
- Want superior audio (getting fussy about audio these days)
- Planing to add an SSD later when I have the funds.
