    How will this one

    Yep, another one of the "How will my computer run wow" threads that i imagine guys that view this forum regularly will of seen hundreds of but basically, my current computer is getting on now and its on its last legs so im looking to upgrade, im currently looking at picking up the following:

    Case
    PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE

    Processor (CPU)
    AMD PHENOM II X4 955 (3.20GHz/8MB CACHE/AM3) - BLACK EDITION

    Motherboard
    ASUS® M4N98TD EVO: DDR3, 2-Way SLI, SATA 3.0GB/s

    Memory (RAM)
    4GB KINGSTON HYPER-X GENESIS DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz (2 x 2GB KIT)

    Graphics Card
    1GB NVIDIA GEFORCE GTX465 GDDR5 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11

    Memory - 1st Hard Disk
    1TB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 16MB CACHE (7,200rpm)

    Power Supply & Case Cooling
    600W Quiet 80 PLUS Quad Rail PSU + 120mm Case Fan

    Processor Cooling
    STANDARD AMD CPU COOLER

    Sound Card
    ONBOARD 8 CHANNEL (7.1) HIGH DEF AUDIO (AS STANDARD)

    Operating System

    just wondering if i can get some opinions on slight alterations that would improve performance and just how this system would run in raids and in cataclysm.

    Thanks in advance.

    Looks pretty solid for current raids. What kind of PSU (brand) is that one listed?

    Not sure it was a set up a friend linked from Pcspecialist.co.uk and i cant find any mention of the brand

    Quad rail PSU means you might run into problems with really powerful graphics cards later, or adding second card in SLI. Single rail is better for future proofing. Also 1024MB GTX460 is better value for money than GTX465.

    Trolling should be.

    Right iv switched the PSU to a corsair 650w (tx650) and altered the graphics card, would it be worth going for the 2gb gtx460? or would i be best just leaving it at 1gb gtx460?

    I would stay with the 1gb. Whats the price difference?

  7. #7
    extra £20 for the 2gb one

    Not really needed. Didn't even know there are 2GB models of GTX460 out.
