Hello,I

I figured a combination for my new desktop as below:

Cooler Master HAF 912 Advanced
Asus Sabertooth P67 B3 Motherboard
Intel i7 2600k Processor
Cooler Master V8 CPU Cooler
Cooler Master Silent Pro M 600W PSU
Kingston HyperX PC1600 4Gk
WD Black 64mb SATA 3 6G HDD
Sapphire HD 6850 Toxic x 2 Crossfire

Would appreciate if anyone can share your advice with no impact on the price.

Thanks!

do you only have 6gb of hdd memory?

If you are getting all new parts, then please go for a different cooler.. If you won't be overclocking much then the CM Hyper 212 plus is a good choice.. If you have high overclocking desires, then get a better cooler such as the Thermalright Silver Arrow or Noctua NH-D14 or Corsair H50..

6G interprets as 6Gbps which is the theoretical bandwidth offered by SATA 3 drives.. The HDD would probably be carrying a 1TB capacity..

As previously noted in the other thread you started ...

AMD Phenom II X4 955 Black Edition: $140

MSI 890FXA-GD65 AM3(+) AMD 890FX: $145 (Lookee Here)

2 x HIS Radeon HD 6950 2GB : $525

Total: $810

Your motherboard, CPU & video: $888

That should more than cover the difference for a Corsair HX 850w "Modular": $171 before $20 rebate


Not only will you save some cash, you will have a better motherboard with full-bandwidth USB3, 42 PCIe lanes off the north bridge, 6 x SATA 6Gb/s, x16/x16 CrossFire, a better PSU, an upgrade path to the next-gen BD-Z (and quite possibly the 2012 Piledriver), you may mod the dual-BIOS HD69502GBs cards to scale beyond a 2xHD6970 CrossFire ...

Sorry if reality is such a bee-otch.
