Advice needed on a Build

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Budget: 2000- 2500 $$ I have all of the peripherals so only the tower is needed.

Expectations:  I am hoping to create a PC that is easily upgradable in the future.  I am thinking of possible upgrades as a second 570 GPU (Comments on the power supply would be helpful, do I need a 1000watts for two 570's or will a 750watt make it?) or more RAM.    

Uses:  Almost all gaming(RPG's, FPS,etc.), the rest is general computing.

Special Needs:  I am looking for mild overclocking on the CPU (hence the Noctua CPU Cooler) other than that nothing.

Build posted Below and Thanks in advance.

	change your psu to corsair, it has a 5 year warranty and its a brand name, the other psu is a no name with 2 year warranty. Ask DS specifically for this fan to be added to the top, so you endup with 4 x 200mm fans: haf 200mm non led fan Edited by DST4ME - 23 Mar 2011 at 12:01am
