I'm building a new pc after 6 years with my last home build desktop. With a new i7 processor and dual graphics cards I'm ready to jet into the gaming world with this PC. I would like you experts to comment on two things:
1. Will everything be compatible? What issues should I expect with this setup?
2. Will this kick the crap out of my 2GHz, 2GB pc 3200 ram, GeForce 6800 Ultra dinosaur?
The setup:
Mobo: ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard (Newegg.com - ASUS P6T Deluxe V2 LGA 1366 Intel X58 ATX Intel Motherboard)
CPU: Core i7-920
(Newegg.com - Intel Core i7-920 Bloomfield 2.66GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache LGA 1366 130W Quad-Core Processor)
Memory: CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) (Newegg.com - CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model CMG6GX3M3A1600C7)
Video Card: two (2) XFX Radeon HD 4890's (Newegg.com - XFX HD-489X-ZSFC Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card)
Case: Antec Nine-Hundred (Newegg.com - Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case)
PSU: Corsair CMPSU-1000HX (Corsair CMPSU-1000HX 1000-Watt Power Supply - ATX, 140mm Fan, SATA-Ready, SLI Ready at TigerDirect.com)
I am planning on getting a nice mouse and keyboard combo to go with the system. The monitor will be a nice flatscreen as well. I would really appreciate it if you could verify compatibility (will I be able to run 2 vid cards at 16x?) (will it boot?)
Thanks
