New computer!

[Deleted]

I´m planning to buy a new computer as the one i´m using now is strating to get a bit outdated, so i´ve been looking around and found one that looks quite interesting:

Motherboard:
ASUS P8P67 LE, Socket-1155 ATX, P67, DDR3, 2xPCIe(2.0)x16, Crossfire, SATA 6Gb/s, USB 3.0, FW, BT, EFI

Graphics Card:
Gainward GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB PhysX PCI-Express 2.0, GDDR5, 2xDVI, HDMI, 822MHz

Processor:
Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor Socket-LGA1155, Quad Core, 3.3Ghz, 6MB, 95W, Boxed w/fan

PSU:
Corsair HX 850W PSU ATX 12V V2.2, 80 Plus Silver, Modular, 6x 6+2-pin PCIe, 12x SATA, 140mm

Memory:
Corsair Vengeance™ DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9 Kit w/2x 4GB XMS3 modules, CL9-9-9-24, 1.5V, Vengeance Heatspreader, 240 pin

Internal Hard Drive:
Western Digital Caviar® Blue 1TB SATA 6Gb/s (SATA 3.0), 32MB, 7200RPM

This rig comes in at around 950-1000 euros.

And i was wondering what you guys think?
ohh and i should add that i´m planning on perhaps buying one more GTX 560 so i wonder if the PSU is too bog or too small?

750W can handle 2x 560 Ti just fine. Caviar black might be a better boot drive than a blue.. Otherwise a solid build.

The Caviar Black vs the Caviar Blue will give the edge to the black in performance but cost to the blue. If it is within the budget to purchase a 1TB Samsung Spinpoint F3 or a 1TB Western Digital Caviar Black I strongly suggest either of those two drives. I use multiple 1TB Caviar Black drives and love them. Was a noticeable difference in performance as soon as they were installed.

If you plan to overclock, which I assume you are, it is advised that you purchase an aftermarket CPU cooler such as the Coolermaster Hyper 212 or Noctua NH-D14.

I looked that Caviar black up and it wasn´t that much more expensive so it will probably be that one.
And on the OC and fan thing, i was planning on getting a better CPU cooler, hoping they have some in the store here in town

[aisatsana]

750W is enough
I would get a aftermarket cooler
I'm assuming you have a case already?

[Deleted]

Yeah the price i said earlier includes everything, case, windows, warranty etc

Looks good.

So i think i have finalized my list now, just a few things i was wondering about;
First thing is if the case i´m getting have enough room in it to fit 2 gtx 560 and an extra fan (Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Kylare )?
Second thing is if you guys think its worth upgrading the i5-2500K to a i5-2600K?

Edit: Came up with one more thing, from the site i´m buying from i can only see that it supports crossfireX, so was wondering if anyone knows if it supports SLI

Heres the final list so far:

Cooler Master Elite 430 Midi Tower Black
Corsair HX 750W PSU
Intel® Core™ i5-2500K Processor
ASUS P8P67 LE, Socket-1155
Corsair Vengeance™ DDR3 1600MHz 8GB CL9
2x ASUS GeForce GTX 560Ti 1GB PhysX CUDA
Western Digital Caviar® Black 1TB
Sony Optiarc DVD±RW Burner, AD-5280S
MS COA Label Windows Home Premium 7
MS DVD Win H.P/Pro/Ultimate 7 SE 64bit
MS ROYALTY Win Home Premium 7 Nordic

Extra: Cooler Master Hyper 212 Plus CPU Kylare

Nvidia recomends 550W (or more) supply to use with 560TI

[Idrinkwhiterussians]

I believe the LE does not support SLi...

If you are only gaming, the 2600k really isn't worth the extra.

With this being said, you could do a couple of things.
1. Stay with that board, and go with a better single GPU setup (if you want to stay with Nvidia)
2. Upgrade the board and deal with the joys and hassles of SLi.

Yeah i did some checking up myself and noticed too that it didn´t support SLI and not even ram faster than 1333 MHz,
So i changed that.
And on the SLI matter, I like fixing with my computer as i´m doing that alot atm with the computer i´m using right now.

Stick with a Corsair tx650v2, it can handle gtx 570 SLI and surely 2 gtx 560Ti aswell[COLOR="red"]

Oh is it only for gaming? if it is, you should only use 1 gtx 560Ti, or 1 gtx 570
