Help with my Prodigy build

Ksanti · 19 Sep 2013 at 17:42

c. £900 budget for this part of the system but obviously less would be nice. Using it for photography (Lightroom + Photoshop) and gaming basically in terms of what would be strenuous. I already have all the peripherals I need, OS, and a 680GTX to go in it. This is what I'm thinking at the moment, am I missing anything, what power splitters etc. will I need (if any), should I be cooling more etc.? Don't desperately want to wait for the Prodigy M unless it's going to be arriving in the next couple of weeks; SLI as an option would be nice but this needs to be done in a week or so. If there's nothing else I need I'll probably bump up ram to 16gb.

You could change the Asrock board for anything else fella. Gigabyte and Asus are reliable.

i would get a external dvd drive , give you more room inside and i would guess you hardly ever use it anyways. And maybe a better cooler like h80i or h100i or somthing if your going to overclock.
