Finlly getting my new pc done this week :) need a lil help

Leviathan · 19 Sep 2010 at 11:04

Ok basicly its anew build so its just a few questions.

I already have a lot of the pc due to buying them back when there were deals on so i have the 800d Case with modified fans for better aiflow no stock 1s. and also a 850w corsair power supply.

My HD is a Crucial 128gb as primary and thats where the questions come in

1st ther used to be a post i can no longer find of a list of things to do in windows and bios for SSDs to make them run better also will like to now what drivers i will need for it and where.

Now the bits i still need to but is the MB/ram/prcoesser/cooler the grafix card and 1 extra HD for backup stuff. So how does this line uup look ?

Krypton Extreme Intel Core i7 930 2.80GHz @ 4.20GHz Overclocked Bundle

Or

Krypton Intel Core i7 950 3.06GHz @ 4.00GHz Overclocked Bundle as price isnt to far off the other 1

Gainward GeForce GTX 460 GS 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Western Digital Caviar Black 640GB SATA 6Gb/s 64MB Cache - OEM (WD6402AAEX)

Should pick a better Grx Card or isthis enough ? im kinda only going with a 460 atthe moment as Dx11 is still quite new i will start standard and get better when its more estabalished.

This is all questions so far will probably have more but this is my basic build

get the 4ghz kit, and stretch to a GTX470 its well worth it.

Yes was thinking the 470 to but stil not 100% sure i can afford it yes but im building a pc ow that in about a year or 2 will still be good but if i need tobuy a better gfx card when dx11 is far more established.

if you picked this as the harddrive- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HD-081-SA&groupid=701&catid=14&subcat=940

it will free up enough money for a GTX470, and you wont be able to tell the difference in speed between the two drives.

o moneys ok im looking to spend about 1000 but can spend 2000 but dont think its needed. I also dont want a 480 as just want to tart small for now with lessmoney then push later on with a better card just need 1 to do the job for now. Im not sure between the WD and F3 drives tho.

the 6gb connection on the WD is a gimmick, mechanical harddrives are not fast enough to use it.

theres a 1tb roundup here http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/storage/display/1tb-2tb-roundup-2_3.html#sect0 with a WD black with the large cache and sata3.0 connection, its no faster than the other fast drives without.

If it was me, I'd choose the F3

Also that way, you can get the GTX470.

True i just looked the 470 isnt that much more and still in budget

I even looked at the Krypton Extreme Intel Core i7 980X 3.33GHz @ 4.20GHz Overclocked Bundle and cud afford ir but is it worth the extra money over the
