Been out the performance hardware market for some time now and am looking to update my current Q6600, 4gb, raptor system as it is creaking really bad when editing HD videos (my main usage). So rather than just doing an oh so lazy spec me thread I've spent the last few hours reading and so far have come up with the following based on what other people on here are recommending:
- i7-2600k: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CP-358-IN
- Asrock Z68 Extreme4 mobo: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-051-AK
UPDATED:- Crucial Real SSD M4 128gb: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-009-CR&groupid=1657&catid=1660&subcat=1669
UPDATED:- Corsair XMS3 1 x (2x4gb):http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-290-CS
Now my budget is around the £600+- mark for the above parts. Any obvious problems with the above? Could I get better performance for my money?
Regarding other parts I currently have:
- 2 x 23" IPS dell ultrasharp monitors
- GTX 460 1024mb
- Be Quiet 600w psu
I'm hoping the GFX card is sufficient. Would my 600w PSU be adequate for powering the above?
