Hey all,
Looking for advice on the following:
Existing outdated build:
Intel Q6600 - OC'd
Asus P5kE
4850 crossfire - OC'd
RAM - 4GB 800Mhz Kingston
Antec 600W
WD 1TB 7200 RPM
Looking for your advice on the following potential build:
1) Motherboard - ASUS P8P67 DELUXE /w UEFI
2) CPU - Intel 2600K
3) RAM - 2x Dominator® GT — 1.5V 8GB DDR3 Memory Kit with DHX Pro Connector and AirFlow II Fan (CMT8GX3M2A2133C9)
or
2x Vengeance™ — 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1866C9)
4) Power Supply - CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX1200 (CMPSU-1200AX) 1200W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 SLI Certified 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply
5) Hard Drives - OCZ Vertex 3 120GB
6) Video Card - Crossfire 6950 (upgraded shaders)
or
Crossfire 6970
or
Other?
7) Case - Corsair 650D-Mid Case
or
Corsair 800D-Full Case
Thoughts on Liquid Cooling?
1) Full CPU / MB / Graphics (this would be my first install - thoughts? - Overclocking potential?)
or
2) Corsair H100 (CPU only)
Other input?
I appreciate your criticism and thoughts in advance,
Cheers
Chris
