New computer specs: what do you think?

Jaguar · 03-21-11, 03:18 PM

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

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

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

JSLTIGER · 03-21-11, 08:19 PM

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.

Jaguar · 03-22-11, 07:52 AM

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

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

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...
