first pc build check spec

beeny_E · 5 Sep 2011 at 21:33

My first build that's taken me ages to configure, can someone please check if everything's compatible and works together, or if you would change/recommend anything. I am yet to decide on a monitor and will be adding another 6950 2gb toxic at a later date. I also want it to be bulldozer ready. Thanks

Ive always been involved with amd circles so intel is new to me.

what chipset do i need? and what motherboard would you suggest if i can keep the same spec or would i have to change anything else?

Thanks mate I want a board that will last. Can you tell me if i can run 2 of these in crossfire on this board at 16x/16x? I've looked but cant find the answer.

Will they both run on this board with them being 2gb

Thanks

I went for the brand if im honest with you. I preferred the 920 for the thicker rad and extra fan.

Thanks I did like the look of the extreme7 board and that's one more reason. There's not many videos out there at the minute though, would be nice to see an unboxing. I dont mind paying extra as long as it will last me.

The corsair ram i chose was CL8
