Hi everyone, i'm building my first desktop rig which will be used for gaming (bros play ps2 emulator, battlefield 3 and WOW) whereas i use it to watch movie (1080p)...the following is my rig:
i5 3570K-->RM740
SAPPHIRE AMD RADEON HD 7850 256bit 2GB DDR5 (PCIE 3.0) - OC Version-->RM797
ASUS P8Z77-V LX-->RM430
1000GB Western Digital 16M SATAIII - WD10EALX / WD10EZEX-->RM262 (not sure if this is caviar blue 7200rpm)
CORSAIR CMZ8GX3M2A1600C9 (4GB 1600MHz x 2) - Vengeance Dual -->RM262
CM STORM ENFORCER-->RM288
CORSAIR Gaming Series GS600watts -->RM318
total RM3097
any recommendation and advice? Budget would be RM3.5K
my primary concerns are the power supply, and motherboard.
For mother board, any better suggestions? also, what is the difference between ASUS P8Z77-M and ASUS P8Z77-V LX besides the price:p...In terms of power supply, i tried using neweggs calculator and it says ~450W...is 600 gaming series above enough...a side note is that i have an extra caviar green 2Tb HDD to add on including one DVD-RW optical drive...as for RAM, is it advisable to use CORSAIR vengeance dual 1866Mhz? would it make any significant difference?any advice are greatly appreciated!
Thanks so much in advance!:D
u dont need performance ram as they dont have much effects on games.As for the p8z77-m and the p8z77-vlx is that vlx has more PCIE x1 and PCI slots which are not important and the VLX is an ATX board. where are u buying all these? they are kinda expensive.
