MY DESKTOP

[yauul]

Hi guys. After a long time I am finally going to build my system. What i want now is just advice from you guys, because i have done alot of research. I am living outside of the US and what I am gonna do is basically ship my things. But this is my first time ordering and Assembling. These are the specs for my System.....

Intel Core i7 2600K
Motherboard Asus Maximus IV Extreme
Kingston Technology Hyper X 8GB 1600MHz DDR3 Non-ECC (x2)
HDD WD 1TeraByte Caviar Black 7200 RPM (Don't Have the Cash for SSD Yet)
ASUS GTX 590 3GB GDDR5 Graphics Card
Coolermaster HAFX Chassis
DVD Supermulti Samsung 24X
PSU 850 WATT COOLMAX

This is gonna be my frist Device, basically gonna use it for Overclocking. So i wanna know if you have any Ideas or Advices.

lose the 590, use the savings to get a SSD. You will see more of a performance benefit from going to a SSD than doing from something like 6950 (not sure nVidea equivalent, I'm a ati fan) to 590

from what site to where are you shipping, if u dont mind me asking ? im kinda like you and need a good place to get my parts from

6950 is no equivalent for GTX 590... but, at any rate, don't get 590. Radeon 6990 kicked its ass in every test, and it costs less.

I know that it kicks ass.... but only by small points.... not that i am an NVIDIA fan but the ATI makes alot of noise and HEATS up like crazy.....

Actually, that particular test showed nVidia to be hotter (temp-wise), yet quieter, if I remember it right... Plus who cares, if you have a good case? Can't hear any noise from the outside with my headphones

I agree with the other posters, the 590 is unnecessary. Get a 580, use the savings to get at least a 60GB SSD to hold your OS and a few critical programs. The rest can go on your HDD.

Everything else seems to be okay. I'd maybe change the brand of your PSU to something like Corsair or Antec, so you're getting a good brand one. Maybe move up to 1KW as well if you're wanting to do a high end SLI/Crossfire job in the future.
