OK i posted a couple of weeks ago what i was planning to buy for a new gaming rig, but since then have updated a couple of components...
Here is the final config :
- Intel Core i7 960 3.2GHz (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366) - £475.99
- Asus Rampage III Extreme Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard £329.99
- Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5870 Vapor-X 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card (11161-05-40R) £349.99
- OCZ Vertex Limited Edition 100GB 2.5" SATA-II Solid State Hard Drive £309.99
- Western Digital Caviar Green 2TB SATA-II 64MB Cache - OEM (WD20EARS) £109.99
- Samsung SH-B083L/RSBP 8x BluRay ROM / 16x DVD±RW Drive - Black (Retail)£81.99
- Corsair H50-1 High-Performance CPU Watercooler (Socket LGA775/1156/1366/AM2/AM3) £66.99
- Corsair Obsidian 800D Full Tower Case - Black £209.98
- BeQuiet Dark Power Pro P8 750W Modular Power Supply £126.99
- Mushkin Enhanced Redline 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)
- Dell UltraSharp U2410 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor £446.99
What do you think of it ? any advice in particular ?
One of my main concerns is noise reduction, but i didn't want to go for a complete watercooled config as it seems a bit difficult to install and maintain..
Thanks
