Hey guys I am new to Tom's hardware but I was looking for a computer forum that could help me with a few questions i have and look over my new build ill be taking on in the next two weeks.
I wish to keep the build under 1000 dollars.
ok lets dive right in on what the computer is used for. A lot of gaming and multitasking, minor video editing, blu-ray movies, and the such.
alright the components I have chosen are as follows:
CPU- Intel i5 2500k
- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819115072)
Mobo- Asus p8z68
- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813131792)
GPU- Sapphire 100315L Radeon 6850
- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102908)
RAM- G. SKills 8gb (2x4gb)
- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820231417)
PSU- Corsair 650tx
- (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139005)
those are the parts I have to buy as I already have the:
CASE- NZXT PHANTOM BLACK
HDD- Western digital 1tb
OPTICAL- SAMSUNG BLu-ray
CPU FAN- Cooler master hyper 212 plus
I do plan to oc but I plan on using the Uefi bios to do it simply because I do not wish to destrroy my new computer by not doing enough research on OC
ok so those of you still with me I really want to have a good gaming computer that will also help me with my video editing so it has to be able to render in power director 9 and it does take advantage of the radeon 6850 or rather whatever AMD's CUDA equivalent is.
but here is my question
1. IS the psu i picked out enough to hold up to my power needs (im sure it is) but if i add another radeon 6850 in sli will it still be enough??
2. and if I do put 2 radeon 6850 in sli am i going to be bottlenecking anything?
3. i am gonna need wireless accesibility with my desktop so is it better to purchase a dongle or go with a wireless card to use up one of my pci slots? and if it would be worth purchasing a wifi card could someone point me torwards a good manufacturer.
4. is there any parts i have chosen that are out dated or rather not up to current specs what I need it for (again im thinking not but I would rather have someone with much more experience looking over it)
