After 3 faithful years of service, I have decided to upgrade my old computer and was wondering if you guys could help me out with the build/ suggestions for any improvements or changes.
The build is loosely based on Tech reports system guide and a mix between the sweeter spot and utility player. The computer will be used for a variety of things including gaming, photoshop work, 3d modelling, and terrain generation. I also like to edit video and do motion graphics.
I am hoping to run 3 monitors (already have2) in an eyefinity configuration, so need display adapter, but am not sure which one to go for?. I will also be taking one of my old drives out of my pc to use for programs (7200rpm 1tb), and for the storage of other things am not too bothered about 5400rom drives. What's your opinion on 5400rpm vs 7200rpm?
So far I have:
1 x Intel Core i7 2600k 3.4GHz Socket 1155 8MB Cache Retail Boxed Processor
1 x Asus P8Z68-V PRO Z68 Socket 1155 8 Channel HD Audio ATX Motherboard
2 x Corsair 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1333MHz XMS3 Memory Kit CL9 1.5V unbuffered
1 x Corsair 120GB Force 3 SSD 2.5" SATA-III 6Gb/s Read = 550MB/s, Write = 510MB/s
1 x Asus Xonar DG 5.1 Surround Sound Card with Built in Headphone Amp PCI - OEM
2 x 120mm Blue LED Fan - 4pin Molex Connection
1 x Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 Socket 775, 1156, 1155, 1366, AM2, AM3 Heatpipe CPU Cooler
1 x Arctic Silver 5 High-Density Polysynthetic Silver Thermal Compound Thermal paste 3.5gram
1 x Antec TruePower New 650W Modular PSU
3 x Samsung HD204UI Spinpoint F4 2TB Hard Drive SATA 5400RPM 32MB Cache - OEM - 3yr Warranty
3 x Xenta SATA 2.0 to right angle SATA 7-pin Cable (Red) 46cm / 18"
1 x PowerColor HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 DVI HDMI 2mini DisplayPort PCI-E Graphics Card
1 x LG W2442PE-BF Full HD TFT LCD 24" HDMI Monitor
1 x Antec 300 Three Hundred Case
