Hi, I thought it was time to upgrade my computer again, not only a new gpu, but about everything, 'cept for RAM(8GB DDR3), CD-ROM and HDD(Although, in addition to the 500GB, I added a 1TB to it as well!)
Now, the thing that initally had me confused, was the CPU, as I was not too sure about the 2600k module and the other i7 structures, but that’s the one I ended up picking… Also, I’m a tad bit confused considering the SLI and soundcard matter; as the soundcard uses 1 PCI-e spot, and I have two NVIDA GPU’s, would it still have a rather satisfactory result, or would I have to pick a new MOBO with support of additional PCI-e? No idea if it uses x16 or whatever it is.
Here’s the list of upgrades:
[ul]
[li]Intel® Core™ i7-2600K Processor Socket-LGA1155, Quad Core, 3.4Ghz, 8MB, 95W, Boxed w/fan[/li][li]Creative X-FI Titanium Fatal1ty Champion PCI Express x1, lydkort[/li][li]Gigabyte GeForce GTX 580 1536MB PhysX PCI-Express 2.0, GDDR5, 2xDVI, HDMI, Windforce 3X, 795MHz (x2)[/li]
[li]MSI P67A-GD65 B3, Socket-1155 ATX, P67, DDR3, 2xPCIe(2.0)x16, SLI/CFX, SATA 6Gb/s, USB3.0, eSATA, FW, THX, EFI[/li][li]Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB 7200RPM, SATA 3.0 Gbps, 3,5", 32MB Cache, 8.9ms[/li][li]Corsair HX 1050W PSU ATX 12V V2.2, 80 Plus Silver, Modular, 6x 6+2-pin PCIe, 12x SATA, 140mm Vifte[/li][/ul]
Note: Vifte = Fan, lydkort = soundcard.
Now for the misc specs:
