Hey, just about to buy all my components for a new build but before spending an entire summers wages on a computer, thought i'd seek the expertise of the forums beforehand! Asus p6t i7 920 Lancool PC-K62 Be Quiet! 650w Asus ATI 4890 1gb Corsair 4GB 1600mhz ddr3 dual channel Samsung 1TB hdd LG W2353v 23" Lcd Prettty new to all this so very open to suggestions, criticism or any other general advice. My budgets preferably under the £1000 mark.
Change this to 6gb Triple Channel DDR3 1333Mhz. From what I have seen there is almost no difference between the 1600 and 1333 speeds unless you are benchmarking.
for your cooler get the titan fenrir and for your hdd make sure you have samsung f3 1tb, and you need a optical drive so go for one like this http://www.scan.co.uk/Products/Sony-AD-5240S-0B-24x-DVDR-12xDVDDL-DVDRW-x8-RWx6-SATA-Black other wise very good choice of components
cheers guys, great input. my main concern is whether or not my motherboard is futureproof enough, read some articles of the possibilty of a six core processer so i'm guessing thats where the lastest hardware's heading. not sure if the p6t supports that; i've read and heard good things about the gigbabyte ga ex-58 udr5 though and wondered if you guys think its best to completely futureproof or save a bit of cash?
considering the next iteration of i7/i9 processors will be on the 1366 platform, I *think* you should be fine
