Compatibility Check!

Hi all-

I've finally put together all the components that I will be putting together my new computer with. Wanted to make sure there are no compatibility issues, and also looking for some thoughts/feedback.

its all compatible...
but if your only goal is to game you will get way better performance for the same money if you get a radeon 6950 instead of the 6870, and get a 2500k instead of the 2600k(exact same gaming performance), and just get 8GB of ram (you wont see any performance difference between 8GB and 16GB in gaming.)

The OP has already got a Intel i7-2600

If you are not going to make CrossFire, then you won´t need a 750W PSU.

Get a CORSAIR Builder Series CX600 V2 600W (Good 24H deal) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028

second farrengottu for ram and gpu

I don't think I'd trust a Rosewill PSU. Try Antec, Corsair, Cooler Master, Cougar, PC Power & Cooling, Seasonic - anything else.

Agree with g-unit. I had a rosewill psu and it was a POS. Stick with one of the big guns, it's worth the extra few bucks

Right now, I have a Radeon HD 6770. My big issue with this card is that it only has a 128 bit bus width compared to the higher end cards with 256. Looking at some benchmarking, it looks like the 6950 is worth spending the extra 50 bucks on. With this in mind, is a 600w power supply still enough?

Anyone else have a second opinion on http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028 ??

it looks like a good power supply. the amperage is just how i like it split up. you can handle any single card that doesn't have two GPUs on it. like the 590 or the 6990.
though if you have a lot of fans and drives you might have trouble with a 580.
