Finally making the order!!!!!

[adaswani]

After much consideration i have my money and i will be ordering my parts on 1st september and these are my (hopefully) final spec.

My budget is 1500-1600

I have a copy on win 7, keyboard and mouse

I will mainly be using this for CS5 and gaming, i hope to SLI in the future (about 6 months)

Any constructive criticism will be appreciated as i don't want to make a bad choice

crucial C300 64gb is about ten pounds cheaper and really fast read speeds, which is all you really need a ssd to do.

and a 750w psu will manage that spec and future sli GTX460

24" benq www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-033-BQ the only thing it hasn't got is hdmi input.

Could change the Western Digital to the Samsung F3, from looking at reviews the performance is minor at best.

Using the OCZ on my system now and got no complaints, PSU is slightly overkill, can drop to 750w ~

I heard horror stories about the marvel controller in the cructial
and i will swap to AX750

 

[stulid]

horrors?

all I see is speed

just check out the ssd recommendations in the harddrive forum, always seems to come up.

If i was spending £1600 on a gaming rig i would defo get a 470 atleast

 

[adaswani]

Which GTX 470 would you recommend, I wanted the cyclone 460 because I heard it's really quiet and more overclockerble then the other cards

 

[stulid]

if you got a GTX470 you should switch back to a 850w psu for sli.

 

[eXalin]

I have to ask but why have you chosen the corsair professional PSU 850 watt when you are just buying 1 460?, even with SLI 460 a corsair professional 850 is overkill.

I heard that there are issues between my mobo and the crutial

If your gettin the 460 cyclone, and overclocking it yourself you must be happy with your overclocking ability so why dont you overclock your i7 yourself too and save some dosh.
Also if you want a quite cooler GFX card wouldnt you be better off with the ATi cards?

 

[stulid]

but that motherboard just has standard intel X58 chipset, like nearly everything else, never heard of a crucial not working with a intel motherboard before.

I have seen that using afterburner overclocking a GFX is easy but I am not prepared to overclock my CPU





Also the sound is not a big issue what I wanted to say was that is cooler as i am not prepared to buy an aftermarket cooler for the GPU

Your CPU bundle + the options seems quite expensive compared with alternative CPU/motherboard/RAM options.

If you really recommend it that much then I will get it
I trust your opinion

I felt it was perfect as I was going to get that any war and it's only an extra 30 or so for the OC

 

[adaswani]

Listened to advice and here is my revised build, keep i mind i plan to SLI the 470

 

[stulid]

change the black 1tb for a samsungF3, used the money saved to get a 850w psu if you want GTX470 in sli, the 750w psu was for sli GTX460.

 

[infernox]

looking good enjoy that build.

 

[Randomface74]

i'd dump the ssd, you'll fill it up. a single f3 1tb will be sufficient.
