Help Needed For Gaming Rig

iAmPanga said:
Hi everyone, real new to the site and im getting my new gaming rig soon. Im buying a prebuilt machine from www.evetech.co.za there base is like 15 mins from me :D

My guts on this one : http://www.evetech.co.za/Evetech-Co...SLI-Gaming-PC-Reviewed-PCFormat-May-2011.aspx

But i would like to have a second opinion.

Mainly using for gaming, photoshop, web
Using on a 19" screen until i get my new monitor, likely a dual screen setup.
Any comments are appreciated.

Don't use Evetech, although their work is done well, they are really pricey...
Why would you want 2x570's? Why not just get a single 580 or a 6990?
There are plenty of options available for you're budget.

Hmm, any other prebuild companies you know of.
Wouldnt a 2x570 be faster than a 580? Im a noob at this.

I build pc's in my spare time and I am launching a online shop next year :)

As for the question, yeah 2x 570's would be faster but they would also consume alot more power not to mention I would imagine a bottleneck with that 2500K. Although it is a nice setup it can be built for a lot less.

Thanks, then i should really go for the 580,goodluck with the store, any other tips you can share ?

Thanx

Go for a Z chipset motherboard.
Try get 16GB ram (yes you're budget allows that.
Try getting a i7 2600k although clock for clock the i5 is pretty close, the i7 is better and for the money you're spending you should really be getting top of the range parts. That is a horrific chassis xD Its ugly. Try getting a CM storm trooper.

I can vouch for Jokers work. If you are looking for a pre built PC speak to him. He has built for a few people on this forum. He knows his shit :)
 
Dude, U ROCK. i dont mind travelling to PTA, my dad owns a store there. Any chance of u building me a pc ? Dont mind paying a lil extra with your experience.

I don't mind mate, in fact I am trying to build as many pc's as possible. Wanna take pics of them and use them on the front page of my online shop website.

Turn around time of about a week, depending on the parts ect.
There are a couple of things we need to discuss.

Will pm you now.
 
sorry to hijack this thread.
Does the Joker organise parts for cheaper? i think there is something wrong with my mobo so important looking for a new am3 or am3+ mobo at a good price?
