Hello.
I am currently in the process of designing a new gaming rig, and of course I am want some opinions other than my own before I break the bank!!
Here it is so far:
CPU INTEL I5 2500k
MOBO ASUS p8p67 evo rev 3.1
RAM G.SKILLS 8gb (2x4) Ripjaw X 1600 DDR3 @ 8-8-8-24
GPU MSI Radeon 6950 Twin Frozr 3 2gb (one for now, Xfire later)
HDD WD Velociraptor @ 10000 rpm ( I already own this, will upgrade to SSD when it makes sense!!!)
CASE Coolermaster HAF X (I like BIG cases with BIG fans, my other one is an antec 1200)
PSU Corsair CMPSU-850TX v2 850w
MONITOR DELL u2412m
And of course I have a couple of questions!
Online all IPS monitors are getting mixed reviews as far as gaming is concerned. What are your thoughts on the Dell I mentioned earlier? (PLEASE DON'T COMMENT ON THE MONITOR IF YOU HAVE NEVER USED THE DELL U2412M)
And while I believe I will be very happy with 24" of 1920x1200 gaming @60hz and about a trillion colors....
1) are these 2 issues big enough (anti glare coating/overdrive reverse ghosting)? Should I be looking at something else?
Unfortunately testing the monitor for myself is not an option because of my remote location, even returning something is not easy.
2)Should I be looking above 24" or is there nothing reasonable out there
3)Are there better 24" IPS monitors that don't cost twice as much?
4)16:10 is still cool for games right?
5)Is the PSU overkill or futureproof? (Modular is a non issue)
4)Is there any other advice, or anything you would change in the build above?
Feel free to rip it to bits
Thanks
