[silverbrit]

Just wanting to know if this PSU will do the job for my computer:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817207007



System Specs:

Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad CPU Q8200 @ 2.33GHz
RAM: 6.00 GB
OC: Windows 7 64 bit
Case: HAF-912 (I ordered an extra 200mm fan to go with it)
Video Card: MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC

Here is the video card link:

Thanks

Yup, it will be just fine. You could even SLi those and still have power. Also, OC that CPU or you will get a bottleneck unless you are planning on playing on res above 1080p with all AA and AF. I would suggest a nice cooler and an OC to 3+ Ghz.

What is a bottleneck? A cooler for what? What cooler are you sugguesting?

Your cpu is not fast enough to keep up with a GTX560. You will need to overclock to at least 3ghz.

That psu is more than enough for TWO GTX560's. A decent 500w unit would be sufficient even with overclocking the cpu.

How can i overclock my cpu? Does he mean if i overclock my cpu i will need to buy a better cooler for the cpu?

 

[geekapproved]

You can probably get some overclock with the stock cooler, just keep an eye one temps. Use CPUID HW monitor.

Google "how to overclock Q8200".

Your CPU feeds information to your GPU, but when your CPU is not feeding it fast enough, the GPU isn't being used to it's full potential. Your CPU might being running at 100% usage, and your GPU at 60% usage. A 3Ghz Core 2 Quad should fix that. After you overclock, your CPU will have the power to feed it all the information. I would suggest a A70 if you case can fit it, or a CM 212+.

I might just buy a new CPU/motherboard

Not worth it. Just OC. A $30 cooler and a nice OC, you will be set.

That will require new ram too.

 

[HostileDonut]

That will require new ram too.

That depends. Some new motherboard will support 800Mhz if he has it.

Remeber that my graphic card im getting is OC Aswell and your sentence didnt make to much sence "Not worth it. Just OC. A $30 cooler and a nice OC" Your said OC Twice so kinda confused

 

[silverbrit]

So i need a new PSU, OC my CPU, Get a Cooler for CPU and new ram possibly?

I mean juts get a new cooler, no new motherboard/CPU and OC the heck out of the CPU. (You could get 3Ghz easy)

He is saying if you upgraded your CPU and motherboard, then you would need new RAM, which isn't necessarily true. Just get a nice cooler and OC your CPU.

Bad news guys just figured out that its almost impossible to oc my Q8200 because its OEM... :C any suggestions?

A lower-powered card. What is your resolution? If it is 1080 I would suggest a hd6850 or GTX 460 max.

Im prob going to get the MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC, just my cpu/motherboard wont work with it so.

Resolution is: 1920x1080

Okay, what games will you play? If you are going to play very intensive GPU games, go ahead, if you are just going to play games like CoD, don't do it.

Well BF3 when it comes out, im playing BFBC2. Wow :/ when i think about it, im not sure if i even need that good of a graphic card. Do you agree? If so what graphic cards are there for me to chose

I would say grab a hd6870 because BF3 will be pretty demanding.

Is the HD6870 better than MSI N560GTX-TI Twin Frozr II/OC ?

Nope. It is a bit worse. Your CPU will bottleneck a GTX 560 Ti.

Wouldnt it be my GTX 560 would bottleneck my CPU?
