Hi All,

Sorry for making another "help me" thread but we all gotta check as much as possible before getting the card out right? Hoping this will be the first upgrade for my general use PC (current PC running on an E6600 @ 2.8GHz with 4GB 1066 ddr2 ram and a 9800GTX+ 512MB). Been a gamer for years and would like to think the rig I'm considering upgrading to can play most current games on high/ultra without noise and heat problems (makes me sigh so much that Diablo 3 lags so hard on my old rig). Not looking to compete with uber 3dmark scores, just want mid-high performance for as cheap as i can get.


1x MSI GeForce GTX 660Ti Power Edition 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

1x Intel Core i5-3570K 3.40GHz (Ivybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor (77W) - OEM

1x ASRock Z77 Extreme4 Intel Z77 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

1x SanDisk Extreme SSD 120GB 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Solid State Hard Drive

1x Corsair Enthusiast Series TX 650W V2 High Performance '80 Plus Bronze' PSU

1x Seagate Barracuda 7200RPM 1TB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM

1x BitFenix Shinobi USB3.0 Gaming Case - Black

2x Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit

1x Cooler Master Hyper 212 Evo CPU Cooler


Anything seem fundamentally wrong/bad/non-compatible with this build?

Using my own OS/monitor/peripherals and have no use for cd/dvd drive (installing os from usb stick). Will be doing the average amount of overclocking but not looking to break any records.

Cheers,

Luke.

@ bacon : nope single gfx, no plans for more in future. Why? Is psu too small? I think it'll draw about 400w so over spec'd to 650w to be safe.

@ remote_zero: that's my bad, that should read 2 sets of 2x4gb (16gb total). Will edit main post in a sec... Edited now :)
