Been a bit since i built my last computer and I just want to make sure i'm not missing anything. last time i had some odd problems with memory speed, but everything else usually goes alright.
I'm trying to stay around 1000$ for the total price of all these new parts, but i already have:
500gb 7200 rpm HD
flash card reader
a decent dvd rom/burner
Nvidia 560 GTX
what i'm currently looking at buying is:
HAF 932 Tower
Corsairs 750AX
GSkill Ripjaw 8gb (2x4gb)
ASUS P8V68-V Pro Gen3
i7 2600k
Crucial 128gb SSD
A few specific questions i have:
The motherboard: I want to make sure i have the pciE 3.0 for future cards and USB3 slots for the front and back, thats why i went gen3 and its the same price as the last generation of the board, but are there any known problems with that board or with the memory or processor i chose?
The i7 2600k only supports up to 1333 memory? having 1600 speed wouldnt cause any problems though, right?
And i'll probably just stick with the video card i have for now, but would you see much of a boost in getting a 2nd to sli with? last time i SLI'd it didnt seem like much of a jump for the cost
I'll probably just run everything at stock, so i shouldnt need to bother with any special heat sinks or fans... but are there any of either you'd recommend for future proofing or even just reducing the noise from the cases fans? And any minor overclocking i should do that wouldnt require any extra cooling?
On the tower, i know i dont need one that big, but the cooling setup seems really nice. Are there any other smaller ones thatll still fit what i need, that youd reccomend?
Thanks in advance ^_^
