New computer specs: what do you think?
 

After countless CTD´s and 3 years of use I decided to retire my old rig and buy a new one. Not being a expert/geek myself I would like to know what you guys think of it:
- Intel Core i7-2600
- 2x4GB Kingston DDR3 1333MHz
- Intel DH67BL motherboard
- Geforce GTX560Ti
- Win7 64bit
- HDD SATA 1.0TB Samsung.

It sounds good enough and where I live those things are expensive, nevertheless it´ll be good to know if I´m doing something stupid.

You are good with this but is very important to pay attention at the power supply and try to have an big case well ventilated also

Thx stoi. Power supply is 600W and the case has more holes than case on it , with a big fan also ;) .

I dunno but i will try an more powerful powersupply... but better to ask TDW ... he knows better about power supply... mine is 650 and i want to change

Didn´t think it was so important. Anyway, it´s not the most expensive thing, gonna ask the store. Thx again mate :up:.

I would recommend 6gb ram, its a really significant improvement over 4gbs
also, try to get a sata 6gb drive, its much better than sata 3gb

Doesn't look too bad. I'm running a 650W PSU and feel like I'm close to the limit. I'd try to go 750W or up. Beyond that, looks good.

Thx people for the advice. Changed the power supply and studing other modifications. :yeah:

Check my signature for the specs on what I built. It may be more than you need but at least gives you some ideas. I have a 1000W power supply. I plan to upgrade to a GeForce 580 series graphics card in the near future. SATA drives are a definite must have as they are essentially the default drive type for most systems these days. You can easily overclock your CPU as I have if you get a decent heatsink and fan. If I were you I would get two hard drives instead of one huge one. I have three on my system (one for WinXP, one for Win7, and one for data storage). I would suggest two 500 GB's. Defrag would take forever on a TB drive. I buy most of my stuff from NewEgg. TigerDirect is also good.

Thx for the info scrapser, you´ve got a hell of rig. Wife wouldn´t take it easy me buying such a thing. I get this 1TB drive plus my old 500Mb. Like it big :smug: .

Excellent choices do you mind if I ask you where you are from? :hmmm:

Not at all. I´m from Brazil but I´ve been in Rio just once and never been closer to the rain forest than most of you :DL .

Aah Brazil cool an emerging country. :DL

As for forest I've been to tea plantation lol well there was one time to this small hill lol

Sorry to dig up an old thread guys, but just wanted to post up the specs of a new PC I'm having built soon specially dedicated to run sh5 with the magnum opus mod without having any more problems with frame rates and sluggish behavior etc, I think this machine will kill it...I'm not entirely educated in computers and stuff so here goes the details I have of what will be included in this PC:

i7 2600 CPU
Gigabyte GA-H67MA-UD2H-B3 Motherboard
8G RAM (2x4G sticks)
2TB HDD
Coolermaster CM690 Case
Coolermaster GX750 Power supply
GTX 570 Graphics
DVD-RW Drive
Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit

What do you guys think? Any suggestions...
