As for my graphics option.. would the 560 2GB or 1gb 448 cores be better? I also looked into getting a radeon 6970. |
12gb ram will still work...but it wont be running in triple channel mode..which apparently isn't even noticable if all you do is gaming |

games don't really fully utilize triple channel yet since it's fairly new. some basic and possibly outdated details on dual vs triple channel: G.Skill DDR3 PC3-16000 Triple Channel memory review as far as going with a 560 2gb and a 560ti 448 go, i don't think the extra memory is as important as the bumped up clocked speed on the 448. the 448 is essentially a neutered 570. if anyone disagrees, feel free to correct me. |

^ If you're planning to run sli/xfire, you should amp up your psu to 750W, else 650W should be fine. As for mobo, z68 should be fine since you're on a budget. Curious, what kind of settings does your friend want for BF3? |
^^ EDIT: since PSU is out of stock, going to change to this PSU instead Cooler Master eXtreme Power Plus 700 Watt Power Supply at Memory Express How are CoolerMaster power supplies? For BF3 I'm not too sure, but I guess as high as the system allows him to. He told me he wants a a set-up that will last him for quite awhile for $700. |
That i have no idea. However, are you going to be getting windows 7 or are you getting a pirated one...cuz i was looking for the student deal. Couldn't seem to find it |
^^not sure about friend, probably pirate. |
why are you so fixed on getting 12gb of ram? anything past 8gb is not worth the money, even for gaming.. unless you plan on doing photoshop or any other graphic intense application... 8gb running at 1866mhz is more then enough ram power... 2133mhz sees not much benefits... i would suggest getting 1000 Watt PS, future proofing is always good.. higher end graphics card requires more power... PS is the number 1 important item to get... get a PS that has removable cables is good, less clutter inside the case... like the Silverstone Strider Plus... http://media.memoryexpress.com/Image...2/0?Size=Large |
computer problems =(..helpp... so got my computer to boot...then realized my cd rom drive doesn't power...possibly cos I have 2 other hard drives connected to the same 4 pin molex.. so turns off comp..make sure everything connected...tries to repower on before sticking another esata molex in there...and pc doesn't power on.. after a few tries..disconnecting and reconnecting stuff..it finally turns on...but my monitor doesnt turn on..stays black I get a beep when powering on..and all the lights power on..detects my mouse n stuff..but no screen.. It powered on once outta the 10 times..telling me I got multiple boot failures due to voltage/overclocking issues..but I havent even installed the motherboard drivers yet anyone know whats up? |
also forgot to add when the first time I booted my 2500k was running 3.6ghz with ram at 1600mhz.. the one time it booted telling me abt boot failures it clocked cpu down to 3.4ghz with ram at 1333mhz... |

As for the 12GB ram, mostly for some video editing/ PS for my photography. However, i only opted to go for the i5 2500k cuz its the best bang for the buck atm. |

specs? also, since you sort of mentioned that you are overclocking, try to put everything back at stock settings. let us know the results of that as well. |
Last min question before i put everything together.. Is there a diff between gtx560ti 448 cores AND gtx560ti 448 cores classified? I head the classified one is overclockable while the other one isn't. |

so update on my issue is that my gpu crapped out =[ everything boots fine now without the gpu plugged in.. gonna get a swap at mem ex tmw.. |
anyone know how to build a comp and oc it for me? PM me :D ME/Ncix wants to charge me 100 for everything... |
it's quite easy to put together a computer..if you too lazy get ncix to do it for $50 OC is also easy but takes patience/baby steps...tons online guides out there |
just dont wanna fry my processor.. etc. lol |
