Are trade-offs and competability close to optimal?
Gigabyte GA-X48-DQ4
Intel E8500 + Noctua-U12P + Nexus120
Corsair 8500 Twin 2x 2048 MB DDR2
Sapphire Radeon HD4870 + Akasa Vortex Neo cooler
WD VelociRaptor (or Samsung F1)
Corsair CM PSU-750TXEU 750W
Antec P182B case
Hardware:
1) Do you see competability issues?
2) Reasenable performance trade-offs?
3) will PC8500 RAM OC fine with this system.
4) Will PSU top fan conflict with case?
5) Will this be silent? One rotten apple...
6) Do you know smaller silent alternative to P182B?
Software:
7) Is system optimal for Vista 64bit?
8) Are 64bit drivers easy to get now, e.g. backwards compatibility with HP DeskJet930C?
9) Does Remote Desktop work cross xp32/vista64?
I will do gaming, surfing, Office, Photoshop, 4-4½ GHz OC, future Crossfire, and maybe 8 GB RAM.
Thanks
