Hi guys i have been looking now for months for a rig best suited to my needs. I was injured in afghanistan last november and due to having some more time on my hands i can game more. Also, i travel every 3 or 4 weeks to and from rehabilitation so i have toyed with the idea of alienwares laptops and sff gaming rigs. I think ive decided on a sff style gaming rig complimented with a 20" ish portable monitor. Here is my rig id appreciate any advice before i go ahead and build her.
1. Asus MAXIMUS V GENE, Intel Z77, DDR3, SATA III, PCIe 3.0 (x16), Micro ATX
2. Corsair Obsidian Series 350D Performance Micro ATX Case
3. Intel Core i5 3570K,1155, Ivy Bridge
4. Corsair H100i Hydro Series CPU Cooler
5. 16GB (4x4GB) Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black, PC3-12800 (1600)
6. 2GB MSI GTX 670 Power Edition OC, 6008MHz, GPU 1019MHz, Boost 1079MHz
7. 750W Seasonic X-Series SS-750KM3, Full Modular, 80 PLUS Gold,SLI/CrossFire
8. 120GB Samsung 840 Basic, 2.5" SSD 7mm 3-core MDX, Toggle NAND, Read 530MB/s, Write 130MB/s, 256MB Cache, 85k IOPS Max
I have chose these parts based on the assumption that, yes i will ramp up the memory to its potential of 2133, i will more than likely overclock the cpu slightly straight out the box, i will SLI probably in a years time hence the power supply, and i chose MSI's version of the 670 because i assume space in the case for sli will be very tight and this card comes with open fan type cooling. ill throw in some random storage hard drive too the ssd is just for my OS and some programs.
any words would be most welcome please, maybe you can save me some trouble here and there, or some cash too! all in pricewith OS is £1335 not including monitor
