Building a new gaming PC
Posted: Mon Oct 17, 2011 12:47 am
Hi all, I am new here and am looking for advice and pointers on a new gaming system i plan to build.
I am planning to put this all together in Australia an have a budget of roughly $1500.
CPU: Intel Core i7 2600
MOBO: Asus P8Z68 - Deluxe
I am really looking for some advice on this as it does seem like a fantastic Motherboard but I'm just a little unsure there would be something more suitable.
GPU: Gigabyte Radeon HD6970 2GB OC
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3
Good choice?
SCREEN: ASUS 23in IPS Widescreen LED monitor
CASE: Using my previous case which is a Coolermaster CM 690
HDD: Using previous HDD's
PSU: Planed to use my previous PSU which is a Corsair professional series HX 620, I couldn't find a listing for this product on their website anymore.
Mainly curious whether or not it would be sufficient for the entire rig.
I do already have a copy of windows 7 64bit to go
All in all the parts i require will cost $1385 so it does give me plenty of room in my budget.
Any suggestions and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers
