Curious if my system will bottleneck at all...

[reaper2794]

Hey guys. So I was curious if the build Im hoping to get will bottleneck at all. Im really hoping not.

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Qt8y1Pea_2mqYYLtRvpcHh4N1I0VOuaU4Ar3Bdl4hgE/edit?hl=en&pli=1#

I already have most of the stuff, just need the case, mobo, video card, HDD and RAM

I'm getting a 5770 as you can see. Unfortunately I gotta stick with my 17" LCD for now and it supports 1024 x 768 max, will this cause any problems? Will I get better FPS since the resolution is much smaller?

I picked an HDD with 7200 RPM so that should be good

My CPU matches well with my GPU so I should be good there

Any comments? Thanks guys

Looks compatible and balanced. You may want to consider 1600MHZ RAM (G. Skill is fine), and you do want to get a 22" monitor when you can.

^^ Nice build, but I dont see why you got a 750W PSU ? That mobo cannot do a proper x8x8 Crossire, so you can go multiple cards, thus no proper use of the 750W...

As for the RAM, 1333MHz is fine if not overclocking high...Check this combo

Graphics card - Get this one...It has the newer cooler revision that makes the chip run slightly cooler...

Yeah I know the mobo was too much, I was originally gonna get a 650W and I was freaked out. I already ordered it so yeah, but it shouldn't be a big deal.

Also, I'm getting the Juniper XT version, I don't like that one, in fact I thought that one was older than the Juniper XT.

I'm also set on the RAM I'm getting so thank you for your suggestion but I've never heard of Patriot and I'd rather stick to G.SKILL

Can I ask why I should go for 1600? Wouldn't I have to like tweak to BIOS to optimize it for that? Is it really gonna help me that much, 4GB DDR3 @ 1333 vs 1600? I don't really wanna pay that much more just to increase the speed slightly

^^That card is the newer version, and is better than the one that you had selected...
As for RAM, Patriot is also a good company, but its your call though...
Another very good RAM - Hope you dont say that you have not heard about these
Mushkin 4GB DDR3

And as for the speed, like I said before, if overclocking high, then only higher speeds would matter, also 1333MHz at CAS 7 is pretty fast...
