Hello,
Next month im gonna buy parts for my new pc and i got a few questions about this config :
CPU : i5 3570k
GPU : Sapphire HD 7950 Vapor-X OC w/ boost
RAM : Corsair Vengeance 1600 mhz 8GB kit
MOBO : ASRock Z77 Extreme4
Case : CM Storm Scout II Advanced
PSU : Corsair TX750W Modulair
SSD : Samsung 840 Pro 128GB

1. Will this be able to max out crysis3 (at least without or little anti aliasing), bf3 and skyrim.
2. Does this fit together
3. Is the power supply enough watts for this config
4. There are much different versions of the HD 7950 is this a good one or is something like MSI 7950 twin frozer better (got never settle action on that one)
5. Will the power supply be able to handle 2 7950's and OC to 4.5ghz on cpu ? And will the mobo support that.
6. There are 2 sata 6ghz on z77 chipset and 2 on another one, i got 1 ssd 1 hdd(WD green caviar 1TB) and one optical drive wich one should i Place on the non z77 port ?

Thanks

1. Yes, not max out crysis 3 though, crysis 3 is like when crysis first came out, you wil have playable fps but not high, others will be maxed.
2. Yes
3. Yes its more than enough, since you are planning to crossfire in the future, that is enough.
4. Sapphire and MSI version are good, but if you want the free games, go for the MSI because performance difference won't be much. The gigabyte version is good too.
5. Yes same as question 3.
6. Optical drive, since you rarely use optical drive besides installing os, games or movies.

Thanks for the reply,
You mean the gigabyty windforce 3 7950?
BTW the corsair TX750M is now only €10 euro's more then the CX750M (its on sale) is it worth to get it now ? CX = 79 TX = 89 normally tx is 110
Is it safe to OC a video card with ,msi afterburner or trixx?
