Hello fellow Bit-Tech forum users, I would like to ask a quick question relating to a possible system out of two I'm hoping to build very soon. I would like to know your thoughts on the two builds that will be listed below and whether they are compatible. System 1: Case: Cool Master HAF-X CPU: Intel i7 2600k @ 3.4ghz CPU Cooler: Aplenfohn Matterhorn GPU: Asus Matrix GTX580 1.5gb RAM: Kingston HyperX Genesis (4x4)GB Mother Board: Asus Sabertooth p67 PSU: Corsair TX850 Hard drive: Western Digital 600GB Velociraptor System 2: Case: Cool Master HAF-X CPU: Intel i7 2600k @ 3.4ghz CPU Cooler: Aplenfohn Matterhorn GPU: 2x GTX570 in SLI RAM: Kingston HyperX Genesis (4x2)GB Mother Board: Asus Sabertooth p67 PSU: Enermax Revolution 85+ 950W PSU Hard drive: Western Digital 600GB Velociraptor Also if you could what system would you consider better for gaming at 1920x1080+
Just to chip in. I personally wouldn't spend then £200 for the velociraptor. The flooding in Thailand will rocket prices up (I've seen this on Novatech and Scan) and you only get about 95mb/s read speed on them. When they fill up they get worse. Id rather get a small SSD for 100 (say OCZ Vertex 3) £90 then get a larger sata HDD for about £50 You get almost 500mb/s with the SSD and a higher chunk of storage. I use the raptor myself and think it's overrated. Admitedly I didn't install the SATA drivers for it when I installed windows (just the basic ones) so not sure how much of a difference it makes. May reinstall and find out.
