Hey, I am in the planning stages of building a new gaming computer (mine is almost 3 years old now) and I just have a few questions I want your advice on =).
First, these are the components I am looking at so far:
GPU
Radeon HD 5870 or 5970 (I'm leaning towards 5970 so I won't have to upgrade for a long time)
Power Supply
CORSAIR HX Series CMPSU-1000HX 1000W
Motherboard
ASUS Crosshair AMD 890FX
Processor
AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Black Edition Thuban 3.2GHz
RAM
CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB DDR3 1600 OR G.SKILL Trident 6GB DDR3 2000
What I mainly want to know is if all these components will be compatible with each other, and if you guys have any other hardware recommendations. I will be using Windows 7 64-bit if that makes a difference. I am also interested in hearing any computer case recommendations for this setup =).
Thank you! Your feedback is much appreciated.
