Looking for a new Build

Last response: in Systems
Share

I'm looking to build another PC for myself but this time going Intel/Nvidia as opposed to AMD/ATI. I know i want it to be water cooled along with this case

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

i do want a fast pc with good benchmarks, i wont be overclocking though. Do need alot of space and memory. My Budget is 2 grand. Thank you all. i do need a monitor included along with peripherals.I would also like minimal micro suttering if possible.

You really don't need water cooling if you are not going to overclock. It is a waste. Stock cooling (or even cheap aftermarket, if you are worried about heat).

That case is much expensive and doesn't have side fan ports. You really should have a case with side fans to help keep your GPU(s) cool.

My current build consists of haf 932 case, megahalems cooler, MSI 790-fx GD70 Motherboard, ATI Radeon hd 5850 Graphics, AMD Phenom II x4 965 Black edition. looking to upgrade those. i could possibly stay with the case but looking for one with good wire management and air flow.

If you are mainly gaming, 8GB of RAM is plenty. PSU is on of the best and modular. Monitor is IPS which is great. Not sure if you need mouse, os, keyboard.

now i never understood what solid state was. is that just for your OS?


You can use it just like an ordinary HDD. Primarily, yes, it is custom to put your OS and main apps (games) on the SSD and you will have much faster boot times and load times in games.
