I am ordering a new computer this week and have so far chosen the following specs.
Asrock z77 extreme4
Intel i5-3570k with liquid cooling 120mm fan
Radeon HD 7870 2GB
2x4GB G Skill Ripjaw 1600MHz DDR3 Ram
650W Corsair CMPSU - 650TXV2
1TB HDD 7200rpm
128GB Sandisk SSD
I plan to overclock the intel to 3.8 or 4.0GHz immediately. In the next year I will be receiving another 7870 as a gift to crossfire and a larger psu with 4-6pin pci-e. Yet as it stands, how will my system do for demanding games and light video editing/3d rendering. Thank you for your thoughts and comments.
The water cooling system comes with my chip, I am deathly allergic to thermal paste and shops in my state do not deal with cooling systems because of merchant laws.
So please! As it stands, how will my system do with games like Skyrim and Wow as well as basic video/photo editing and 3d rendering. Don't give me a speech on hyper threading please. Just tell me how my system stands now and if it has the expandability I may want in the future. THESE ARE MY ONLY CONCERNS. Thank you.
