Hello im going to build a gaming setup for around $1600Aus to mainly run Battlefield 3 and Flight Simulator (which renders alot of textures) and im not sure if these components will work fine together. I will also be using the computer for general use
I don't plan on overclocking as i dont know how that works. (I also dont know what crossfiring is so..)
will I also need an extra Cooling Fan?
Could i use two graphics cards (eg. GTX560ti) instead of the 1 Radeon 6970 and would that have better performance and FPS?
Is this setup fine or do i need to change some components?
Also - GTX570 or Radeon 6970, which to go with?
This is the setup im looking at:
ATI AMD HD6970 2Gb DDR5 PCI-E 2.0 16X Radeon 6970 DX11 HDMI Display Port
Intel core i7 2600 LGA1155 CPU 3.4Ghz 8MB
Asus P8Z68-V-LX Z68 LGA1155 MB 4DDR3 Intel HDMI SATA3
8Gb DDR3 133 Kingston Memory 2X4Gb Kit
125Gb Corsair Force 3 SSD 2.5" SATA3 550/510 MB/s
500Gb Samsung SATA 2 HDD 16MB Cache; SATA300 Hard Drive
Samsung 22X SATA DVD Writer
Antec True Power new 750W ATX Power supply TP-750 Blue
CoolerMaster CM Storm Enforcer Midi Tower ATX Gaming Case SGC-1000-KWN1 Chassis No PS
Windows 7 64Bit Home Premium
Including - Build costs and 2 warranty
$1553
Much Appreciated
