Hi guys,
I have a budget of £750-£850 to spend on a system. Now, being a student I want to stretch this as much as possible, so I have come up with the following AMD build, and would like some feedback on it please:
- Case: Antec 300 Gaming case - Black (Not sure on this case as it might be a little small?)
- Power Supply: Corsair Extreme 600W (Not sure if this is going to be enough to enable CrossfireX?)
- CPU: AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1055T 95W Edition (Aiming for a 4.0ghz overclock)
- Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H AMD 890GX (Socket AM3) DDR3 Motherboard (Gone for this one for CrossfireX, eventually aiming for x2 5850's).
- Cooler: Corsair H70 CPU Cooler (Gone for this in order to hit the 4.0+Ghz overclock)
- RAM: Corsair XMS3 (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (Not sure if this is the best memory out, a lot of people tout the G.Skull memory for 1055T build, but no idea why?)
- Hard Drive: Seagate Baracuda 7200.12 500GB 16MB Cache (Decent, and cheap hard-drive)
- Graphics Card: HD 5850 x1
- Sound: 7.1 Channel Sound (No sound card)
- Optical Drive: Sony DVD+/-RW SATA Drive
- Cooling: 2x Xigmatek Fans
Cheers guys, really look forward to getting your opinions as people on these forums seem very knowledgeable.
Steve.
