So, been about 3 years since my last major upgrade. Really time to upgrade again. My case has gotten really worn out though, so I decided, scrap my PC, start from new. Just wanted to check everything here was compatible (pretty sure it is) and I had a question about XMP.
Here's my shopping cart so far, budget would be ~2.5k$
Corsair Obsidian Series 800D CC800DW Black Aluminum / Steel ATX Full Tower Computer Case
SAPPHIRE 100281-3SR Radeon HD 5870 (Cypress XT) 1GB 256-bit DDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support x2 in Crossfire
I understand it's not a reference card or superior to 2x Vapor-X's but it's still insanely good and saves some money
CORSAIR CMPSU-850TX 850W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91 SLI Ready CrossFire Ready Active PFC Power Supply
CORSAIR DOMINATOR-GT 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)
ASUS P6X58D Premium LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
Intel Core i7-930 Bloomfield 2.8GHz 4 x 256KB L2 Cache 8MB L3 Cache
Noctua NH-D14 120mm & 140mm
APEVIA CF12SL-URED 120mm Fans (x4)
Bought these cause I know I cant really afford LC and the Obsidian's airflow is less than ideal, but I can add these 4 and tinker with the system for some better airflow.
Have a few TB drives that don't need upgrading I'll be using, same with a CD/DVD drive (never use it anyways), and a sound card, some other hardware etc.
I think everything is compatible? If anyone has recommendations to add something, change something, I'd love your input
!
Thanks for any input
Current breakdown:
Subtotal: $2,254.88

Grand total: $2,472.05
If anyone knows where some deals are on this equipment and are willing to share with me, please do!
