Hi there,
I'm looking at putting together a new comp for gaming purposes. Here is what I have come up with so far, but would appreciate any feed back on how I might be able to swap a few things around for more bang for buck.
Galaxy GeForce GTX460 GC PCI-E 2.0 1GB DDR5 256-bit Video Card - $290.40
http://www.galaxytech.com/en/productview.aspx?id=306
ASRock P55-EXTREME4 LGA1156, 4xDDR3, 2xPCIE, RAID - $179
http://www.asrock.com/mb/overview.asp?Model=P55%20Extreme4
G.Skill GS-F3-16000CL9D-4GBTDD DDR3-2000 4GB Dual Channel [Trident] F3-16000CL9D-4GBTDD x2 - $274.68
http://www.gskill.com/products.php?index=253
OCZ Vertex Series 60GB 2.5" SSD, SATA, MLC (OCZSSD2-1VTX60G) - $138
http://www.ocztechnology.com/products/solid_state_drives/ocz_vertex_series_sata_ii_2_5-ssd
Core i5 760 2.8GHz, 4 Cores, 4 Threads, Turbo Boost to 3.33 GHz - $218
http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=48496
Hunkey X7 900W 80 Plus Silver Modular PSU - $169
http://www.pccasegear.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=14614
NZXT PHANTOM BLACK FULL TOWER W / O PSU COMPUTER CASE - $181
http://www.skycomp.com.au/item/NZXT-PHANTOM-BLACK-FULL-TOWER-W-O-PSU-COMPUTER-CASE.aspx
Would like to run two video cards in a SLI configuration at a later date. However is 8 Gb ram over kill? Would I get away with 4 GB for now and then look at upgrading another 4 GB later?
Also if I am planning on running two cards does that mean I would need a minimum of 900W as the minimum requirement for each card is 450W?
Would be willing to swap out any components that would give me a performance increase within the same sort of budget
