Hello Guys,
First of all, i'm stuck between an ivy bridge pc and an old i7 pc such as 990x or sandybridge-e 6 core.
My PC will only be for gaming, however i considered 6 core for the future, but thats also a lot more pricey.
With any processor i get, i plan to overclock, seeing as ive done it with my past 3 PC's, i cant buy a new PC and not overclock, its just got to be done lol.
Regardless of the PC i think i will get :
- a Sapphire 7870 Graphics Card,
- Crucial M4 240GB SSD
- 1TB HDD
- A Basic Optical Drive
Now for the parts i need help with :
- What case to get
- Custom Water Cooling (I will use a 240 Radiator so will need to fit in the case)
- A 850W Power supply (Not sure which one yet)
- Processor (i5 Ivybridge or i7 Ivybridge)
- Motherbard (Have no idea, open to opinions, previously had asus p8p67 pro, msi z68 gd-65 and asus maximus V gene, so would prefer something new from them. I like a change :]
- RAM again im open to opinions, seeing as i am getting a ivybridge, a 2133 / 2400mhz would be a small preference, however im just curious, whats better, 8Gig 2400mhz ram, or say 16G 2133mhz ram (or lower), depending on whats a similar price.
I think ive pretty much covered everything
so as many comments and points of view will be appreciated.
