need pc opinion #2

by Predje • 25 Aug 2011, 09:47 • Journals
In my previous journal i suggested some prebuild pcs but in the end they were all overpriced, so i started my quest to build my own pc and have come up with the following

MSI P67A-G45 B3 iP67, SATA600 RAID, USB3.0
€114.90

Intel Core i5 2500k 3.30GHz 6MB
€175.90

Cooler Master Processor Koeler Hyper 212 Plus
€22.99

Kingston 2x4GB, DDR3, PC10666, 1333MHz
€39.99

2x Gigabyte Videokaart PCI-e Radeon HD6850 1GB 2xDVI/HDMI/DP
2x €137.90
(crossfire bridge included)

Western Digital Harddisk 3.5" 1TB, SATA300, WD10EARS
€49.99

ASUS DRW-24B3ST
€24.99

Corsair CMPSU-650HX
€104.90

Antec Two Hundred V2 Gaming Case
€58.50

Total Price = €875.96

So can anyone tell me if:
- this setup is any decent
- the price is any good
- these components are compatible
Thnx in advance :)

They will be old parts in few months, always over-priced since some place sells them cheaper / has a better model at the same price and you will always find people saying it is shit and their PCs are better.

If you got the money, buy it, it is good.

i7 processors have more L3 cache, but are also a lot more expensive. I also recall someone mentioning the i7 processors being hyperthreaded while the i5 ones are not, but I can't verify this.

Anyways, the i5 ones are a lot more bang for the buck, and generally you're all good getting one of them, seeing that the i7 ones can be considerably more expensive.

currently waste of cores, but if you still want it you better buy one of the high-end ones or you might as well buy an i5, better yet wait for the 2012 ivy bridge versions.

You're worth going for just 1 of those graphics card and putting the additional 100 euro towards a better processor.

Predje 25 Aug 2011, 14:53
am planning to upgrade to an i7 as soon as there prices dropped enough actually :<

TosspoT 25 Aug 2011, 15:29
prices dont normally drop they just replace with new items at the same pricepoint

what tosspot said. two of those beasts is too much :P. Im building one too, read that AMD proccesors(x4 core ftw) > Intel processors. everything you have there should be compatible with that motherboard, so enjoy when you get it.

you may need a 700watt power supply with those gpus though, even if it recommends 500.

Currently AMD simply has no match for Intel's Sandy Bridge.

Look good i'd go for a samsung spinpoint F3 rather than the wester digital.

And you can get better than the CF 6850 for that price
