Hi,
looking to build my own rig. I am relative new to self build, want a stable high performance rig that can be OC'ed later and if need be upgraded in future
CPU QX 6850
Assus Striker extreme (£150)
2 GB OCZ reaper pc 28500 1066 (115£)
NVidia 8800 GTX SLI (2x?) (360 £ each)
Xi-F soundblaster (£60)
WD Raptors 160 GB (2x) (130 each)
Case: Lian Li PC-V1200 Plus II (£ 170)
Coolermaster 850W (£130)
Appreciate you views on the components in general but also some specific questions:
- Do I need a double GPU now or is 1 sufficient to start and can I add another later
- Is the Power supply sufficient also to cover later upgrades
- 2 gb enough or should I go for 4 GB
- Do I need addtional cooling or are the standard fans in the case enough to start with
- Any thoughts on suppliers in UK
- Any important component I missed?
- Should I wait and go for a 45 nm CPU/Any other upcoming tech improvements I should wait for?
