Recommendations for PC

NovaTronMC · Aug 19, 2014

Hello! I just got a gaming & editing pc, and i just want to ask if there are things missing or if there is overclocking recommended, i preffer people telling me missing things and not telling to replace because it's new. As i said, i would like to know if the is a way to overclock this, recommended hardware, drivers, so i can get a lot of speed from this computer. (I don't have any specific budget).
These are the specs:

- Intel Core i7 4820k 3.7GHz
- Asus P9X79 Motherboard
- Asus GeForce GTX660 OC edition
- G.Skill Ripsawg X 16GB (8x2)
- Corsair H80i Liquid cooling
- Corsair Force 128GB
- Seagate Barracuda 2TB 7500RPM
- Coolermaster HAF X Case
- Corsair 750M Power supply
- Asus DVD+RW optical drive

Please, put a lot of ideas and different stuff, and if something is REALLY urgent, please, say it.
Thanks for your help!

I have seen that both, my motheboard and my processor are really good, and also they are new so i will not change it atm, any other thing?

what games are you playing and what resolution/quality/fps are you looking at?

Asus GeForce GTX660 OC edition maybe replace this with a R9 280x if you have no money limits

I already have Intel Core i7 4820k and im thinking to add another Asus GeForce 660 to it.

NovaTronMC :

Get a 770 instead if you can afford it imo

Au_equus · Aug 21, 2014

resolution? 1080p? 1440p?
@1080p your 660 may hold, but the 770, which is essentially an overclocked 680, and is a sizeable upgrade.

I got the Asus GeFOrce GTX660 and i want to add one cheap card for max speed, which one is recommended?
- Asus GeForce GTX750 TI 2Gb
- Asus GeForce GTX760 2GB (Best Price)
- Asus GeFoce GTX780 2GB

Which one is better? Remember, it will be with a Asus GeForce GTX660 2GB (Recommend me Asus or EVGA?)

For running a SLI configuration (2 gpus working together) you need to have 2 of the same card. SO the only option would be to get another gtx 660.

If you can afford the gtx 780 then you could get that by itself and sell/return your gtx 660 and it would be better than having 2 gtx 660s.

Will 2 gtx660 run me all the games at 60 fps? Or similar?

numanator · Aug 21, 2014

It should come pretty close to 60 fps or higher but not positive. The problem with SLI 660s is that you would be limited to 2 GB VRAM so on texture intensive games your VRAM would hold back your performance. Also, if you play indie games they do not always have driver support for SLI so on those games you would only be using one of the cards.

numanator :

So you recommend me to get one? Or not, all i want is speeeed

numanator · Aug 21, 2014

Its a tough choice, you need to google the advantages & disadvantages of SLI and see if it is the right decision for you.

I am personally not a huge fan of SLI because you are more likely to have driver issues. I would probably just use the 660 for another year and then upgrade to the new 800 series GPUs when their priced drop slightly.

If i want to save money, 2 660 will be fine? I really need to know, i dont wanna waste on a 800
