Help...need advice...on my 1st dream gaming rig...
after reading loads of reviews and benchmarks i have decided on configuring my first gaming pc and after sooo muchh... of saving(2 years)...i need to know whether is it good enough to play crysis like fps games on 1680X1050 resolution...
here it goes...
Configuration :
Processor : Core2Q6600 (want to try my hands at overclocking a bit)
Motherboard : ASUS P5Q Deluxe (because of good stabality for overclocking as compared to p5q pro/p5qe)
RAM : CORSAIR TWIN2X4096-8500C5D 4GB (famous ram speed for overclocking)
Graphics Card : PALiT Radeon HD 4870 1GB Sonic Dual Edition (i think its better than gtx 260 (216core) at 1680X1050 resolution in majority of reviews)
Sound Solution : Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi XtremeGamer (likes to listen to music heavily)
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 250GB SATAII X 2 (not for raid actually, want one for os and other for games, also this hdd has single platter configuration which is much faster and runs cooler than other large buffer drives)
Other Disk Drive : Samsung 22X DVD-RW (fastest dvd-rw right now and reliable too)
Keyboard : Logitech Cordless Desktop EX110 (i am not a hardcore gamer thats why i skipped on gaming keyboard as it will increase my budget and also i like to have less clutter on desktop)
Mouse : Razer DeathAdder (exellent 3g infrared gaming mouse)
Mouse Mat : Razer Mantis (speed version for fps games)
Game Controller : Logitech Dual Action Gamepad (for games like dmc4)
Cabinet : Cooler Master CM 690 with transparent side panel (exellent budget case for overclocking)
PSU : COOLER MASTER Real Power Pro 1000W nVIDIA SLI / 80 Plus (later i'll buy and upgrade my rig to Q9650 and HD4870X2 2GB, also want to overclock the current rig which will have increased power requirements.i have 1000watts keeping one thing in mind that it should last me for atleast 3-4 upgrades including corei7 also do not want to invest in crossfire setup as it will not be easy to dispose two graphics card as compared to one)
Monitor : Dell E228WFP 22" Widescreen Flat Panel Monitor (best pair with HD4870 which is good at 1680X1050 resolution)
Speakers : Logitech Z-2300 (da best 2.1 setup available right now...also i have a limited budjet thats why no z5500..its way too expensive.. :-( and also 2.1 setup is good for listening music as well as it reduces desktop clutter compared to 5.1 setups)
UPS : APC Back-UPS RS 1100VA for at least 10 minutes of backup..
for overclocking the processor :
1.COOLER MASTER HYPER 212 CPU Cooler with extra Cooler Master Blue LED Mod Case Fan 120mm (one of the best budget air cooler for intel processors according to frostytech)
2.COOLER MASTER High Performance Thermal Interface Material
Modding includes :
1.Sunbeam Cold Cathode Kit/30cm/S/Blue X 2
2.Antec UV Cable Wrap-White for better airflow
OS : Windows Vista Ultimate x64 sp1
what do you guys think..??
i really need suggestions...
