APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: Very Soon
BUDGET RANGE: €1100
SYSTEM USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming, Graphics
PARTS NOT REQUIRED: OS, keyboard, mouse, speakers
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: komplett.ie, elara.ie, overclockers.co.uk
OVERCLOCKING: not right now
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
PARTS IM LOOKING AT: i7 920
Heres the setup I'm currently looking at:
ASUS P6T SE, X58, Socket-1366 €176.50
Intel Core™ i7 Quad Processor i7-920 €249
Sapphire Radeon HD 4890 1GB GDDR5 €198
Corsair Powersupply 650W Black €83
Western Digital Caviar SE16 640GB €60
LG 22" LCD W2261VP-PF €185
Sony NEC Optiarc DVD±RW burner AD-7200A €20.90
OCZ Gold DDR3 1333MHz 6GB KIT €92.50
Antec Nine Hundred black miditower €95
Total: €1159
Unfortunately can't use newegg.com as I'm ouside the states, overclockers.co.uk seem to be the cheapest but once I factor in delivery costs it works out about the same as komplett.ie(where I would collect from).
I have gone for WD SE16 as I heard the black was quite noisy, is this true? Also I know that the new ATI range is coming out shorty but not sure if its worth the wait as it would probably take a while for the price drop on the 4890 to filter through to Ireland
My main concerns are whether is worth paying the extra to get a mobo with crossfire support and if I did go corssfire in the future would I need a different PSU as well?
I'm pretty much going on just a days research so any comments and advice are much appreciated.
