Hi,
I'm trying to figure out if a GTX 260 is the best option for a build that I am putting together. I plan on gaming at 1680x1050. I just want to see where the bottleneck on my new system would be and check if the GTX 260 is overkill for my system.
Here's my proposed build so far:
NZXT Apollo Black SECC Steel Chassis ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail
Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Wolfdale 3.0GHz LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor Model BX80570E8400
EVGA 896-P3-1260-AR GeForce GTX 260 896MB 448-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Supported Video Card
ASUS P5Q Pro LGA 775 Intel P45 ATX Intel Motherboard
LITE-ON Black 20X DVD+R 8X DVD+RW 8X DVD+R DL 20X DVD-R 6X DVD-RW 12X DVD-RAM 16X DVD-ROM 48X CD-R 32X CD-RW 48X CD-ROM 2MB Cache SATA 20X DVD±R DVD Burner with LightScribe
CORSAIR 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel
ARCTIC COOLING Freezer 7 Pro 92mm CPU Cooler
PC Power & Cooling S61EPS 610W Continuous @ 40°C EPS12V SLI Certified CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Power Supply
PC USA CR-02-LZAI-2 All-in-one USB 2.0 Card Reader + USB 2.0 Hub
Thanks in advance!
