[laku234]

Dear friends

I am setting up a Gaming PC with the following components.

Gigabyte-GA-X58A-UD3R

i7-950 / 3.06 GHz , 8MB Cache, 4.8 GT's

6GB DDR 3 -1333 --- Corsair/Kingston

1GB ATI 5870

Cooler Master HAF X (RC-942-KKN1)

cooler master GX 650W psu

MegaFlow 200 Transparent Silent Fan (R4-SUS-07AC-GP)

40GB SSD + 500 GB SATA HDD [Raid 0 config]

Samsung 22" Tft Monitor

DVD writer 16X

Logitech Wireless Keyboard and Mouse

Alternatively

Processor
i7-2600 / 3.4 GHz 8M Cache

motherboard
Intel DH67CL

Will the above specs be enough to run Grand Theft Auto 4(GTA 4) in high settings?

Can you please suggest any alternatives (also reg. the cabinet/power supply etc.).

Thanks

as long as you play it on 1920×1080 resolution or lower you can max it out.

I do not recommend power supplies from Cooler Master's GX series because their temperature rating is not realistic, so they can't deal with heat and they've been reviewed poorly by jonnyguru, hardwaresecrets and hardocp.

Assuming you're buying from newegg; any of these are better for various reasons:
Antec Neo Eco 520C 80Plus $60 ($4 shipping)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371030
(a review I've seen showed that this was short of Bronze certification by a small amount) based on the S12II Bronze below, but some of the internal components aren't as high quality as in the Seasonic. Better than the GX because it is cheaper and can deal with high temperatures better than it (altho that's true for everything else below as well).

Antec Truepower New TPN-650 80Plus Bronze Modular $80
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371021
Probably the best, most often recommended power supply here.

Antec Earthwatts Green EA-650 80Plus Bronze $75 ($6 shipping)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817371044
Untested so far, but Antec are releasing a lot of good power supplies recently, so I'm sure it's good.

Seasonic S12II Bronze 520 80Plus Bronze $70 ($6 shipping)
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151094
Showed to have really high efficiency at lower (20% and below) loads, as well as good efficiency throughout it's power range.

If you want the option to crossfire then I usually recommend a good 750W PSU.
