HI,
I have acoupel of questions rearding my 1st home built.
Here are the other component:
1) Intel CPU Core i5 Unlocked 2500K Sandy Bridge Quad Core Processor
2) Silverstone Raven ST-RV03B-WA Black Full Tower or CM HAF X
3) Corsair Memory Vengeance LP Blue 16GB DDR3 1600 MHz CAS 9 XMP Quad Channel Desktop Sandybridge
4) ASUS 1155 P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
5) 1TB Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3
6) Coolermaster RSA00-80GAD3-UK Silent Pro Gold 1000W Modular Power Supply (PSU) or seasonic 1000 W platinum
7) Noctua NH-D14 Dual Radiator and Fan Quiet CPU Cooler or thermalright silver arrow
I have not decided yet on the gPU as I am waiting for the next ATI series to make my mind up.
I would like your advice on the case and PSU
My plan is ti buy good components that i can keep for the next 5 years at leat if possible. I intend to overclock cpu and gpu as much as possible while keeping the system stable and learning in the process.
I also plan to leave me the choice of going sli or crossfire if i want to in the next couple of years.
so here are the questions.
i went for a 1 kw psu to make sure that i would have enough headroom for say 2 gtx 580 sli and powerful overclocked cpu. is it overkill?
i thought the corsair was a good psu , but i have been told it is not so good.
the seasonic is supposed to be among the best (and it is priced accordingly). so should i go for seasonic and if i do so will i be ok for 5 years or more?
the problem with the seasonic is that it is too big for the raven rv 03, so if i went with that psu i would have to go for another case. I am not very fond of the look of the haf X, but it seems like it is a very good case which would last a long time and would accomodate about everything i could want to put in while providing very good cooling performance.
Do you guys have any good advice on these points?
in another thread i came to discuss about the compatibility of gpu fitted with msi twinfrozr cooler and the raven rv03. does anyone tried this configuration? is there any incompatibility between the msi twinfrozr and the raven rv03 respective airflows?
thanks a lot
