Hi!
I've been lurking for about a month trying to find information for my first build
I'm going to be using it for work and games, and I would like it to be quite futureproof.
Could someone please check this and advise on graphics cards?:
CPU: i5-2500k
Motherboard: MSI Z68A GD65-G3 [got]
Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Cooler
Graphics Card: I'm looking at the 2GB MSI GTX560ti OC Twin FrozR II, and I wanted to know if it can be SLIed with a 1GB one. Also, is this better than the new MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Power Edition "448 Edition" OC Twin FrozR III, which has a better cooler, but less memory. What do you guys think? Or should I just wait for the next gen?
RAM: G.Skill RipJawsX 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit
DVD Drive: Samsung SH-S222AB/BEBE 22x DVD±RW SATA ReWriter (Black)
PSU: OCZ ZS Series 750W '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply (will it be enough for SLI in the future?)
Case: Zalman Z9 Plus Tower Case with Fan Controller - Black
Monitor: Asus VE228H 22" Widescreen LED Multimedia Monitor
And of course Windows 7 64-bit.
The HDD is taken care of (hopefully).
So, what do you think? Is it everything?
Thanks!
