Hello all, I have configured the following system and I am going to order it tomorrow. I am using today to peek around if I should make any changes before I pay. This is the system:
CPU: Intel Core i7 920
CPU cooler: Sycthe Mugen 2
http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/CPUs_Koelers/Scythe/Mugen_2_SCMG-2000/-1075223/?
Motherboard: MSI X58 Pro-E
http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/Moederborden_Socket_1366/MSI/X58_Pro-E/-1078320/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Moederborden&l2=Intel&l3=Socket+1366
Videocard: Sapphire HD5870
RAM: 6gb Kingston HyperX @ 1333mhz
http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/Geheugen_DDR3-1333/Kingston_HyperX/6_GB_DDR3-1333_Tri-Kit/-1080609/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Geheugen&l2=DDR3&l3=DDR3-1333
HDD: Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/Harddisks_3,5_inch_SATA/Samsung/HD103SJ/-1080138/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Harddisks+%2F+SSD&l2=Serial-ATA
Case: Scythe Fenriswolf ATX
http://www.alternate.nl/html/product/Behuizingen_Midi_Tower/Scythe/FenrisWolf/-1078391/?tn=HARDWARE&l1=Behuizingen&l2=Midi+Tower
Powerbox: CooMas RealPower M 620W
The shop doesnt seem to list it on their website itself.
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit
Price: €1.387,28 including 19% VAT.
I am going to use it in order of importance with:
1. Gaming
2. Video encoding (both are actually equally important for me)
3. Audio encoding
4. Video editting before encoding
5. The common 'tasks' like surfing the web.
I got the following questions:
1. Is the current PSU powerful enough to hold a second HD5870 in the future?
2. Is the Fenriswolf case (a quite one so cooling performance will probably be hurt) not hinder in the cooling of the CPU? Since the 920 is going to be overclocked (can make a huge difference in x264 encoding).
3. Please tell me if I have a conflicting part or a part which should be replaced with a better suited one.
Thank you,
Dennis
