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

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...

Looks super. Is that a 750W rated PSU?

You might want to read this review on that power supply: http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php...Story&reid=188

Funny, I looking at the other PSU thread, opened the link to the recommended PSUs, and at the bottom under 'Stay Away From' I saw the GX750 listed and thought it sounded familiar

You may want to look here for a recommended 750W power supply.

renthewog · 04-09-11, 10:27 PM

Okay well i read that review on the power supply and yeah that doesnt sound too promising..well nothings final yet anyway, the tower hasnt been built yet and i can always make changes to the hardware, im not very educated in computers and the technicality of them these specs i posted up here was just what the guy at the PC store recommended based on what I wanted...

So if you guys know your stuff, then what would be a ideal power supply?

I think you can't go wrong with Antec. Think if you grab a 650W Truepower or a 750W one if you plan to ever get a dual-GPU setup, you'll never come to regret it.
