Also the cas latency is high for AMD. CL7-8 is much better.
And i would go for sandy bridge, even price wise now atm.
Also if you paid that price for that monitor, you got ripped off.
Most expensive here in nl is 385 and the cheapest store is 329.
And if i read the other prices, most of the things are overpriced. Some a lot, if you bought the same system in nl, it would cost you 300-400 euro less.
Also i don't see any use in buying 970 if you can get a 955 just as far. And also the 1055T is in the same price range, so i can't understand why you would choose the 970 above the 1055T.
So many mistakes in your configuration, too bad you already ordered it.
Mostly Intel doesn't support triple. Only the high-end socket ( 1336) and ( 2011 ) in the future, mainstream is dual.
The i7 8xx series dual (1156)
The i7 2xxx series dual (1555)
Principle: ATI/AMD > Intel/Nvidia
970/955/965 ~20e difference? ... 1055T, tell me where I need 2 extra cores with those components, plus 3,5ghz>2,8ghz (hey, I play ET too). Not gonna overclock(at least much), since power is 550W.
And fin is expensive place in matter of prices, most of the components were cheapest available. And you can't get than monitor here anywhere cheaper than that.
with 550W you can overclock as much as you want, the people saying your PSU is not enough don't know what they are talking about.
1055T has better IMC ( internal memory controller ), has turbo ( till 3,2Ghz, that is where the T is for) And you can overclock it without any problems to 1110T speeds. Also you do video editing, 2 extra cores is always better than 4 from the same platform. It's not just the cores there is a difference with, its the architecture Thuban is the best possible, on all areas unlike Deneb. The 1055T with even 2 more cores, is barely using any more power than 970.
So there is no reason.
And you say that in Finland it's just more expensive. What about getting the parts outside Finland?
Play ET
But i had in my old days 2 External Harddrives (no own power supply), 2 COntroller, mice, headset, keyboard, 5 PC Fans, 2 Internal HDs, Gfx, Handy, UsbStick, Webcam and probabaly a few more things i dont remember :D
But why should my PC run with an 500W Powersupply if it can run with a 650W and less energy usage + cable control.
Btw, i didnt look his Powersupply on the inet up, i just go out from the point that its a cheap but nice ps ;)
Quad CPU, 3 Sticks 2GB RAM Radeon HD 6870, SATA Harddrive, DVD Drive, few USB-Devices, Front Bay, probably a FanController, minimum of 3 Fans + LED, and probably he got a few other PCIe Cards in the PC.
And dont forget that the CPU is used to be over clocked to 3900Mhz/1.50V
And now think that u have to run all these Products on 100% so that u can be sure that your power supply wont be to weak if u start crysis or smth else. With that nice equipment in his pc the power supply should have a minimum of 500W.
With 400W u cant overclock, u cant buy a 2nd Graphiccard, and u cant hang to much equipment on the pc.
550W is enough, but for the future 650W would be "probably" better.
400W is enough to run this system, i didn't say anything about overclocking
This system will use even less than 400W. Also saying you cant connect enough equipment to it. Please stop it if you don't know what you are talking about. Like all those usb devices really draw that much power. And second graphics card is not an option if you look what kind of motherboard he is using. But 500W is good for efficiency, since its the best to run a PSU on 80% of this capability efficiency wise.
You are just random saying things, his HDD will be using 7w. Average casefan will be around 2-3w high speed 38mm around 8 watt so not more than that. LEDs wont even use 1W if you don't use a lot combined. So nothing to really worry about. DVD drive wont be using power most of the time, and it wont be much again. Also a fancontroller won't use that much power if its analog one it will only use the power for fans and perhaps the leds, but they barely use anything at all. CPU TDP is 125W and HD6870 TDP 151, and thats the maximum. I have 1055T myself, on 4GHZ on 1,55 it's using around 140W. So just taking it rough 125+150 = 275 all others things together 50~75 = 325~350W, and that's full load of cpu gpu and everything together. And like i said before the TDP is like maximum the component will use, it will mostly never reach that.
Please state facts, because you are just saying things randomly.
And talking about the future, don't you see the hardware industry is working to get the best possible performance per watt ratio. You will most likely see reduced power in the upcoming years, instead of more. Of course there will be always be exceptions. Just like sport cars in the car market.
the 6gb/s HDD ?
Also I would have got a higher watt PSU - I have a 620W
p.s. the mobo doesnt fully support triple channel RAM
Nah,now good to see how you play with 125FPS:D
+ better computer the nyou get the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T then you got a fast pc;)
hf with it, and you need a better PSU..
