G'day guys,
I am attempting my first complete build up, and its a scary one. I would just like to hear the local opinions on what i plan to do. So far i have not made any purchases. I am looking at putting something like this together:
CPU - i7 975 Extreme Edition, http://www.megaware.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=195_196&products_id=90159
MOBO - ASUS Rampage II Extreme, http://www.megaware.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=85439
RAM - Corsair DDR3, 7-7-7-20, 1333 MHz, 2 GB, cards X 6 (12GB total), http://www.megaware.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=239_243&products_id=91079
GPU - Dual ASUS GTX 295 in SLI, http://www.ddcomputer.com.au/prod-E...E2.0_Graphic_Card_(ENGTX295-2DI-1792MD3).html
HDD - A couple of Western digital 1TB SATA 2 @ 7200 RPMs, http://www.megaware.com.au/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=87321
This what i will be my setup basically. I don't think i will be wanting to do any overclocking, although it seems really easy with the MOBO tweakit setup. Will i need to look at water cooling? Or is air cooling ok. Also what PSU would you recommend? Lastly, i really have no idea what kind of case to put it in. I guess i need something big to fit it all in, i am looking at using 2 BluRay drives as well, and an 8 in 1 card reader. I guess i want something that both looks good and keeps everything nice and cool.
Do you have any suggestions for me of any kind? Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Oh i almost forgot, one last question. What is the general consensus on Solid State Disk Drives? Are they worth the extreme price, or are they just over rated?
Cheers again guys,
Daniel
