Hi guys,
So I've built my first computer and although it took me a few hours it is now up and running.
My objectives for this computer
1. Gaming (Starcraft 2 almost exclusively)
2. Watching HD streaming when possible
3. Keeping my music in one spot and burning etc
A few questions:
1. Overclocking : Will this help my system at all (i.e. faster load speeds, cat-like speed reflexes)? I'm already able to run SC2 at almost all Ultra Settings except 1 setting which I manually changed to Ultra.
2. Should I upgrade my HD to SSD? What kind of improvement would I see?
3. I bought the Windows 7 Home Premium separately-Is there any bloatware I should be aware of and is there any program I can use a la "lite"
4. Any improvements you guys can recommend to turn this baby into the next Deep Blue?
Here are my system specs:
1. CPU : Intel Core i5 2500k 3.3 ghz
2. RAM : G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL = 8 GB total
3. HD : 500 GB SATA 7200RPM
4. Video : Nvidia EVGA GTX 460 768 MB
5. Mobo : MSI P67A-G43 (B3) LGA 1155 Intel P67 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
6. Antec Three Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower
7. Antec Basiq 550w
7. Windows 7 64 bit
