Okay, I thought i could afford an i7 920 rig, but it's just a tad bit too much for my budget right now, so I decided to go with a cheaper build. This is my first build so I'm not too sure if all of my prospect components are compatible with each other.
This is what i would like to put in it:
MOBO:
EVGA 750i ftw or EVGA 780i (decisions, decisions.... help me pls)
CPU:
Q6600
RAM:
OCZ Reaper HPC Edition (2 x 2GB) DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Cas Latency: 4
Timing: 4-4-4-15
Voltage: 2.1V
or
G.SKILL (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
Cas Latency: 5
Timing: 5-5-5-15
Volatage: 1.8V-1.9V
I don't know much about CAS latency, voltage, or timing so your thoughts here could help a lot.
PSU:
PC Power, and Cooling S75QB 750W
or
Corsair CMPSU-750TX 750W
Would 750 watts be enough for supporting (2x) gtx260 GPU's?
HARD DRIVE:
(2x) WD Velociraptor 150GB SATA
and a WD Caviar Black 1TB
GPU:
(2x) gtx260 core 216
CHASSIS:
Thermaltake Spedo VI90001 W2Z
or
Cooler Master HAF
I'm going with a full tower just to leave room for future upgrades
All your help would be most appreciated and I will be forever grateful
