Hello. I was rechecking this build i had in mindfor a week now. Gaming baby, Gaming!
What i decided so far:
CPU
Intel I7 920
RAM
OCZ Gold 6GB DDR3 PC3 12800
HDD
WD black 640GB
Case
COOLER MASTER HAF 932
Monitor
LG L227WTG-PF Black 22" 1680x1050
What is driving me crazy:
GPU
As i'll get a 22" monitor and as the money is not "too" much of a problem ( not to say i'd preffer a GTX295 or w/e, nor i don't mind good deals and bangs for the buck. I don't want to overkill) I figured a "single" gtx275 would run most of the games pretty smoothly at high set, or am i wrong?
Wanting my rig to be future proof, should i add a second gtx275? isn't better to get a single gtx285 and upgrade to a second one latter on than being bound to impracticality of "two" gtx275 from the begging? i could add a second gtx285 latter on as well as "third" gtx275.
If the gtx285 is a wiser decision, what's the difference between it and a HD 4870X2? both are around $370. wouldn't both cards be way overkill for 1650x1050?
MOBO
It's proportional to my final decision on the GPU. I was originally thinking on a ASUS P6T or the ASUS P6T Deluxe. However, if i may go with 3-way sli latter on (3x gtx275) should i got the ASUS P6T6 WS Revolution, or a EVGA mobo? i would appreciate any suggestion in this matter! good-deals suggestions also.
PSU
I was wondering if the Corsair 850w "modular" version ( the one that comes with 6pci connectors for possible 3-way sli, the regular version brings just four 6+2) would be enough for the system. Isn't it too expensive compared to the regular one? Would it be even more silly and ensure a 1000w from the beginning now that 1000w are around $200?
OpDD
I want blue ray. should i get 1 regular optical drive + a blue-ray reader drive? or should i get a single drive that do all the stuff? i would like some suggestions!
what i might be buying latter on:
Sound card
Is it true that one can notice the difference between the onboard audio and that of the sound card unless its a $100+ sound card? suggestions?
Speakers
Should i got a sound card only if i got a huge speaker system? suggestions?
I aprreciate it.!
