Hi guys,
currently I'm building a new system.
Purpose: Game- and graphicsprogramming for PC and XBOX360, Gaming (titles like GuildWars 2, Diablo 3, League of Legends)
Budget: 850-900 max (My preferred price is 850, but I could go up if there is a big difference in performance to gain)
This is what my current built looks like:
Case : Xigmatek - Asgard Pro
CPU: Intel Core i5-3570K, 4x 3.40GHz
Mainboard: Gigabyte GA-Z77X-D3H, Intel Z77
Grafikkarte: AMD Radeon HD 7850 OC 2048MB, Sapphire
Memory: 8GB Crucial DDR3-1333 (2x 4GB)
HDD: 500GB Seagate Barracuda, 7200rpm
Power: 530W - BeQuiet! Pure Power L7
Particular questions:
1. Is there something to gain to change to Graphics card to NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 (GK106)?
As for the programming aspect it has PhysX, which is pretty interesting. Other than that is it worth the extra money or will games like the one I play be any better. Notice that it's very unlikely that I will play any sorts of shooter or rpgs like Crysis or Skyrim on the system since I use my XBox360 for that
2. Is the combination of CPU + Motherboard alright?
3. Is 530W enough to support the system?
4. In your opinion: Am I aiming to high with the hardware for my purposes?
And your overall impression of the system would be nice.
Thanks for your help
