Hi guys,
Just wanted to say that I got all my parts for my new computer - EXCEPT THE CASE. LOL.
Here's a quick over view of what I got:
CPU: I5 2550K
RAM: 16GB (2x8) MEM 8Gx2|MUSHKIN silverline
SSD: 128G|CRUCIAL CT128M4SSD1CCA 7MM
HDD: 2T|WD WD2002FAEX
VGA: XFX|FX-795A-TNFC HD7950 3G R
CPU COOLER: SCYTHE| SCBSK-2100 R
BD: BURN LITE-ON |
PSU: SEASONIC| X650 GOLD SS-650KM R Fully modular
WIFI: WL ADPT ROSEWILL| RNX-N250PCE R PCIE x1
MB: ASUS|MAXIMUS IV GENE-Z/GEN3 Z68
OS: MS WIN 7 HOME SP1 64BIT 1PK - OEM
Case: HTPC CASE SILVERSTONE GD05B RT USB3 ports
As I mentioned, I don't have the case so I haven't set this baby up yet.
I know my HTPC case says it supports up to 11" cards and the 7950 im getting is apparently 10.5", so this will be a tight squeeze. My PSU is fully modular though, which should help immensely.
If I need to...I may do some minor modding (only to get everything to fit).
I plan on testing it and this is where i'd like some input from you guys. I'm going to test it with Prime 95, as well as memtest.
I will update this thread once I start on the build, and check this thread regularly.
Are there any benchmarks you guys would like me to do? I will do a small build log (or something similar to that).
