Additional Comments:
Hi, this is my first post. Was looking for some advice on a new system. I have some idea of what I want, but I have a couple of questions:
Will my PSU be able to handle two 460 1GB GTXs with an i5 2500k overclocked?
How important is RAM in overclocking and bottlenecking in general? Can I get away with mediocre ram without seeing a huge drop in performance?
Right now, these are the parts I have in mind:
COOLER MASTER HAF 932
ASUS P8Z68-V
INTEL Core™ i5-2500K
COOLER MASTER Hyper 212
CORSAIR 8GB (2 x 4GB) Vengeance™ LP PC3-12800 DDR3 1600MHz CL9 (9-9-9-24)
OCZ 120GB Vertex Plus SSD
Tell me where I can improve/save money.
