Gents,
Noobie on here but not a noob to PC building / modding as I've been doing it for years - however my last build (which I'm typing on) is a Q6600 overclocked to 3.6ghz. Still running ~ok. I know one of my RAM modules is on the way out and well after 5 years of good service it needs updating & the left overs relegating to a home server.
Anyway since my last build I've also moved to a island in the Caribbean where a local shop is well non existent (unless a 8400gt is a new card). So I am limited on what I can get / ship in at huge expense. (the reason for not doing anything for a while)
Anyway I have lucked out in that I have won a i7 4770K 3.5ghz & a Asus Max. VI Formula.
Now for the question. Rig will be:
i7 4770K - Cooled with a H100 push pull is space allows in a Corsair 500R
Asus Max. VI Formula
16Gb DDR3 Corsair Vengeance 2133mhz
3 x 3.5" HDD (300gb, 700gb, 1tb, 2 x 2.5" 500gb 1x Samsung EVO 250gb
1 x blu ray
8 case fans. (7 x 120mm) (1 x 200mm)
1 x EVGA 580gtx 3gb
My current power supply is a Zalman 750-hp (only 1 x 8 pin cpu connector) Would this suffice for now until we move back states side in a few months or should I update it now?.
Also I'd like to update to a Asus 770gtx when we move to. Anyway will the current 750 psu be ok for now or should I update it? (PSU is about 3/4 years old) Also if I do update it 750w / 850w recommended? Corsair or EVGA (thats a RM Corsair or a EVGA G series (not G2) as that what I can get shipped here at the moment easily)
I have worked things out that I'll need a 750 but as I haven't done this in a while I'd like to get a few extra opinions.
Yes I will OC it when Its together if possible - PSU dependant.
Cheers
Chris
