Updates to a 3 Year old build, Need Advice
Last response: in Systems
Hi I built my Current Computer Setup 3 Years ago and I'm feeling its time to get some change in here, so if you look at my current build in my Sig I want to upgrade the following
Hard Drive SSD Dependent on Extra cost for a decent one
Internal HDD 2TB + for storing all my Games and Downloads on
Heatsink for my I7 920 so I can get a little over-clock in there, Will 1333mhz Ram DDR3 hinder my OC on the I7?
This Graphics card has already been recommended for my change to a triple screen setup.
Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 Windforce 3X 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card [GV-N670OC-2GD]
I'm Also looking for some 23 inch screens Similar to a Samsung Syncmaster P2370HD if anyone knows of any? as I want that as my TV / Primary Monitor and then two either side of a similar monitor.
Last but not least something I might consider is a Blu-Ray player if they are reasonable in price.
Anywhere specific I should be shopping in the UK too would also be awesome.
Thanks
Rob

More about : updates year build advice
Since there is nothing in your sig, can you list your rig, So i can have a better understanding as to your current build... without information I say upgrade the ram to 1600 Mhz it will run faster. Get a reliable SSD Crucial make a nice 128GB one for 129 CAD so i am not sure what that will translate to in Pounds
Memory shouldn't be an issue, your 1333 is fine. The i7-920 only runs up to 1066 stock, everything above that is an OC. And you can set multiplies to cut the OC to something manageable. Anyway with triple channel memory and large cache, you don't see a benefit pushing memory on i7-920.
Here's a fun reference. There are a million others for i7-920 OC'ing. (FWIW This post typed on an i7-920 at stock clock, hyperthreading disabled). http://www.overclock.net/t/538439/guide-to-overclocking...
