Should i go for the gtx 670 or Radeon 7950...
I will use my GPU for games and video editing, rendering...
So what do you think guys

 

[popatim]

I think you need two more harddrive. One storage disk and one scratch/work disk.

 

[amuffin]

I would also change that power supply to a Seasonic one!

 

[edercastro]

Thanks..
I will use tow drives.. The ssd for system and running software, and the hdd caviar black 1 tb for storage...
So what do you think.....

I would also change that power supply to a Seasonic one!

Why a Seasonic ??
Is a better brand of PSU than OCZ ??

 

[amuffin]

Seasonic is in the top of PSU brands and makers!

Yes, it's a MUCH better brand. They make some of corsair, antec, xfx, etc. psus!

Unless you will be installing/running some software off the Caviar Black 1TB HDD, I do NOT think the 120GB SSD for installs (alone) for software (video editing/rendering programs and games) is enough. Game installs are HUGE. My Windows 7 Pro 64-bit OS, MS Office 2010 Suite, Norton 360 Security, and games (Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2, Mass Effect, Mass Effect 2, Darksiders, Dead Space, Dead Space 2 and Deus Ex human Revolution) occupy around 120GB of my SSD Drive Solution setup... I say 'SSD Drive Solution' because I have two 180GB SSDs configured in RAID 0, giving me a combined total space of 360GB as my main drive... the SSDs are Intel 330 Series 180GB.

In addition, there are two HDDs: Caviar Black 750GB for storage (some installs, My Documents, Movies, Pictures, Music, Downloads etc); and a 1TB Caviar Green for backups (for RAID 0 OS Image Backup and some important files from the 750GB Caviar Black).

CAUTION: RAID 0 array is a risky setup because in the event of one of the two drives in the array failing, the whole file structure/organization is rendered useless, which requires replacing the failed drive and re-installing the OS+programs+games; or in this case since I have the Caviar Green, I can restore the backed-up RAID 0 OS Image (with its OS+Programs+games) within a few minutes.

I thought I point this out early so you start thinking of how you will setup your drives. There are several ways you could do this.
