Hi all,
I'm building a computer for a friend of mine for gaming and general use. I don't need an OS, mouse, or keyboard. Wanted to get a final check on choices/compatibility/value before I go ahead with the purchase.
It's worth mentioning that I have a preference for nVidia cards after struggling endlessly with driver issues on my current 5870. FU ATI.
CPU/Mobo: i7-950 and GIGABYTE GA-X58-USB3
RAM: G.SKILL PI 6GB DDR3 1600 CL6
GPUs: 2x Galaxy GTX 460 1GB (SLI)
PSU/HD: Corsair CMPSU-650TX and Spinpoint F3 1TB
Monitor: ASUS VH236H 23" LCD
Case: Antec Three Hundred
DVD-R: LITE-ON 24x DVD-R
HSF: COOLER MASTER Hyper 212+
It comes out to about $1435 after rebates.
My two concerns:
1) From what I've read, a 650W power supply should be more than sufficient to power SLI 460s, but if that's not the case I'd rather be safe than sorry.
2) Will everything fit in the case?
Thanks!
