Hi everyone, Bear with me in here. I have a lot of decisions to make... and truth be told; I'm finding it stupidly hard. Lol
I'll go ahead and fire out some questions from the off:
-Please bear in mind I'm a gamer, I don't video edit or bog the PC with heavy applications-
i3 or i5?
eyefinity or nvidia 3d vision?
if ATI, what card? I presume 6970?
if nvidia, what card? GTX460; will it cut it? If not, 570 or 580? The 5XX GTX cards are stupidly expensive though
Will 4GB DDR3 ram be enough. Or is 8gb really worth it? (for a gamer, mind?)
SSD or not?
Basically, here is what I'm getting so far (Keyboard, monitor) doesn't include the box.
For eyefinity, I'd get an extra 2 of those monitors over time. For nvidia 3d vision. I'd swap it to the same monitor but with 3D capabilities (120hz) just before I buy. Which is basically an extra £100. (I'd purchase the 3D vision equipment around 2weeks/1month after my initial purchase)
I have roughly £1000 to spend in total (doesn't inc OS, i have this). I can go over by 100 easily if needed. I can go over to £1300 or so if i really have to.
What i've been thinking of getting with the above is: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-237-OK&groupid=43&catid=1444&subcat=1712 - Looks great for the price... Maybe put GTX 460 with it. Money permitting, also add SSD. Thoughts?
One last question. If i configure my own PC from the OC website. The overclocking options confuse me. How do I know what my end clock will be for either the i3 or i5 offered in the options?
Thanks!
