Thread: My new computer

  1. #1

    My new computer

    so here are the specs for my new rig,

    Case: Coolermaster HAF-X Gaming Full Tower Case
    CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-990X Extreme Edition 3.46 GHz
    CPU cooler: air cooled CoolerMaster V6 GT CPU Cooler
    MoBo: Asus Rampage III Extreme Intel X58 Chipset
    RAM: (4GBx6) DDR3/1600MHz
    GPU: Nvidia GTX590 SLI
    PSU: CMPSU-AX1200 80 Plus Gold Power Supply
    HDD: 600GB RAID 0
    HDD2: 1TB RAID 1

    anything else i could improve? *note* i dont plan on OC *at the moment* and i dont like liquid cooling because water and electricity... especially going at 1200 watts don't mix well

    No offence, but you're a #¤%/¤.

    Get yourself an i7-2600K instead.
    The i7-990x was MADE for overclocking. Litterally.

    Improve? I don't even know what you plan on doing with that rig. No games on the current or upcoming market will bruise that setup in any way.

    So was the 2600K, (The K means unlocked multiplier)

    Also, you're either trying to show off, or troll.

    If you really ARE serious (doubt it), go quad-sli with GTX580s, and get 3x8 GB RAM

    The K stands for better on-board video.

    Unless you are planning on doing some serious image or video manipulation that system is WAY overkill, I cannot even think of how you are justifying a $1K processor that is now a generation old. a 2600K would be much cheaper and more than enough for gaming.

    No, the difference between a 2600 and a 2600k is that the 2600k has an unlocked multiplier.

    No, the difference is that non-K has a Intel HD Graphics 2000, while the K has a Intel HD Graphics 3000.

    You see my point? Stating half the story is just stating half the story.
