SSD + 680 System Build Spec

Dead and Gone · 2 Apr 2012 at 22:10

Hi there,

Looking for a Spec if you kind people dont mind

This is for gaming mainly and would ideally contain a SSD Drive and the new Nvidia 680 card, I wont need a Sata drive or a copy of Windows so is it possible to build a decent rig including SSD and 680 for the price around £1100 - £1200?

If it's possible would you mind posting your build options

Many thanks!

Should be easily feasible in that price bracket.

Motherboard and PSU gives you the option of going SLI in the future.
Can swap for a 128GB M4 if you wanted to save cash

Many thanks for the replies, quick question though is 600w PSU ok for this type of system?

MORE SPEED · 3 Apr 2012 at 10:32

Easily enough for one, probably not enough for SLI though.

olivier renault · 3 Apr 2012 at 11:48

ditto. I would recommend a PSU with 4 PCIE connectors, and around 650W or above for SLI 680 / Xfire 7950.

As a benchmark, my rig below uses max 450W in BF3 / Unigine (measured at the plug). The 6950's are also flashed to 6970's.
