Ssd Mlc building first gaming rig, need suggestions....Your awesome?
Hello, first off here is what i got so far and i can't really make up my mind on what else i should get.
This computer is going to be used mainly for gaming, multimedia and unfortunately/fortunately schooling.
This is what i got so far.
MSI NF980-G65 AM3 NVIDIA nForce 980a SLI HDMI ATX AMD Motherboard
Corsair TX650w PSU
OCZ Vertex Series OCZSSD2-1VTX60G 2.5" 60GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)
Thermaltake Armor+MX VH8000BWS Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case
EVGA 896-P3-1255-AR GeForce GTX 260 Core 216 896MB.
Most of these i got from shell shocker deals at newegg and i scored the gtx 260 for 60$;)
Can you guys tell me if i'm going the right direction?
let me know what im missing. I am really leaning towards amd x6 1090t with a ZALMAN CNPS9700 or with the Coolermaster V8. As for ram i am willing to get some corsair dominator ram. i just hope im not wasting away some hard earn cash. Thanks for all your help peeps!
looks good. you got a good psu giving power to the power hungry gts 260, a compatible amd motherboard, with the new six-core processor all in a great case. but are you sure you want to go with an ssd? according to this article http://www.wisegeek.com/what-is-an-ssd.htm, it has less space, more money, takes longer to write, n has a shorter life time.
as for the new six-core processor, if you plan to utilize all cores at the same time (for example game, use the internet, encode videos, listen to music, download something simultaneously), the 1090T is a perfect match. If you're like me, however, and want to get the most bang-for-buck and are not planning to run so many applications at once but want to get the most experience out of gaming, all while saving a little money, you can get the x4 965 be for almost $150 less
this is what someone said in the review for the 1090t:
"Just in case you guys dont know
Pros: Beautiful processor. Multiple cores means more threads for applications running consistently. This processor is made for the real nerd at heart. thats wants to run 28 applications at the same time. More Cores = more applications run more smooth.
Cons: Anyone who is looking a for a gaming rigg more cores doesnt help. Most games either run on single dual threads and are more dependant on your graphics cards."
but as games are advancing and getting adapted to new technology they may use the cores for different aspects of gaming, so you can't be sure. Its YOUR choice in the end!
