going to build a new pc from scratch, what do you think of these components? will be used for mostly gaming, but a little graphics and video editing.
Case: CoolerMaster HAF 922 Gaming Case - Black
Processor: AMD Phenom™ II X4 975 3.6 GHz Black Edition Quad-Core CPU
Ram: 16 GB [4 GB X4] DDR3-1600 Memory
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 6950 - 2GB
MB: CrossFire Gigabyte GA-890GPA-UD3H -- AMD 890GX w/ 2x PCI-E 2.0 x16
HDD: 2TB HARD DRIVE -- 64M Cache, 7200 RPM, 6.0Gb/s - Single Drive )
its my understanding that frequency trumps cores because most game only use 2-4 cores anyway. the 6950 or 6870? still not sure on that part yet. also will i notice a performance increase if i go from 16GB-1600 speed memory to 8GB-1800?
