Help Ghost pick one

[Ghost02]

Also will I notice a big difference between 1333 and 1600 ram? OC and performance wise?

Can import OCZ 6GB 3x2gb DDR3-1600 MHz Platinum new for $110 including shipping.

You won't notice a huge difference, and I wouldn't overclock a rig like that!!
Maybe in a years time!!

 

[Ghost02]

Yes, I'm not planing on overclocking now but I'm planing for the future.

 

[The Joker]

I was planning ahead when i got those 2 rigs together for you, both are fully upgradable!!
As it stands you wouldn't need an upgrade for a long time mate.
Save you money now and buy another 4870 toxic edition in a couple of months!!

Will that PSU be fine for crossfiring two 4870's?

 

[Grimspoon]

Dam nice rig...that would serve you well.

 

[Ghost02]

Like this case, so expensive

That psu will run 2x 4870's in crossfire without a problem mate!!
Yip its a nice case but its overpriced.

 

[Ghost02]

Maybe just to be safe get the 750w for R200 more?

I definitely like that Intel rig. It's sexellent!

 

[The Joker]

You really don't need to spend more on a power supply, you can if you want to mate.

Well I had a look now at parts and prices at a few stores and it looks like The Joker has everything spot on.

I would go for the Intel rig. It's well thought out and the prices are good. Nicely done Joker!

 

[The Joker]

Thanx mate.
I spent alot of time mixing and matching parts to get the best prices possible!!
Both rigs are awsome but i'd say the I7 is a little bit faster!!

Thanks alot Joker, I really apreciate it. (posting from phone).

 

[The Joker]

Not a problem mate!!

 

[Ghost02]

Just a question, when looking at ram, what do those numbers e.g. 7-7-7-24 do? Is it the lower the better or the higher the better?

 

[The Joker]

The numbers are your latency's/timings.
Nice little artical for you:

[Ghost02]

Thanks, doesn't seem like latency makes too much difference.

If you don't go crossfire right away you never will.. and you will need a 850W psu for it.

In my opinion i would get this GPU http://www.rebeltech.co.za/product_info.php?cPath=96_97_660&products_id=7064

 

[The Joker]

850watt is overkill!!
a 650 will run them but if you wanna play it safe get a 750 watt
