Hey people, I'm looking for a new PC that can ultra StarCraft 2. CyberPower seemed to have a good configuration that was low cost (only $664) and I would appreciate if you guys would share your thoughts with me on this config.:
tl;dr:
•CPU: Intel® Core™ i5-2500 3.30 GHz 6M Intel Smart Cache LGA1155 [-10]
•HDD: 500GB SATA-III 6.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD [-18] (Single Hard Drive)
•MEMORY: 4GB (2GBx2) DDR3/1600MHz Dual Channel Memory Module [-37] (Corsair or Major Brand)
•MOTHERBOARD: [CrossFireX] GigaByte GA-H67M-D2-B3 Intel H67 Chipset DDR3 mATX Mainboard w/ 7.1 HD Audio, GbLAN, 2x SATA-III RAID, 2 Gen2 PCIe & 2 PCIe X1 [B3 Stepping] [-16]
•SOUND: HIGH DEFINITION ON-BOARD 7.1 AUDIO
•VIDEO: AMD Radeon HD 6850 1GB GDDR5 16X PCIe Video Card [+69] (Major Brand Powered by AMD)
Full Version:
I have a few questions as well:
(1) With this build, I get no overclocking right? (Pssh, I don't even know the slightest thing about it)
(2) Do I really need a SATA III HDD? Is it any different from SATA II? (I think most PCs don't even utilize all of the SATA II HDD potential, so the only reason for SATA III is RAID?)
(3) Do I have enough power going for the PC? Or do I have too much?
