Hi everybody,
Greetings from Los Angeles! I am new in this forum.
I am planning to build an Intel i7 system myself. Any suggestions to the system will be highly appreciated.
Following are the details of the system:
motherboard: Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R
cpu: Intel i7 930
ram: Kingston KHX2000C9AD3T1K3/6GX (also considering Corsair CMX6GX3M3C1600C7)
case: Cooler Master 690 II Advanced (also considering Thermalright Venomous X-RT)
psu: Antec Quattro 850 with 80Plus® Bronze Certification
cpu cooler: CoolIT SYSTEMS ECO A.L.C. (will add an additional fan for push/pull setting)
video card: ??? (still not sure if I should go will SLI or CrossFire X, one thing for sure I will either get one or two video cards not three)
I am not a gamer, mainly will use this system for 64bits AutoCAD, Revit Architectural and 3D rendering for my home office. I will start with Vista Ultimate because I got that a year ago but never get the chance to put together a 64bits system. Eventually, I will shift to Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate later this year.
Any advice? Thanks.
