Hi Folks,
New to the Hard Forum. I need some advice: I've purchased an XFX 790i Ultra mb, a Xeon X3360 processor and a ABS 900w power supply. I plan to couple this with 4 GB of ram, a XFX 9800 GTX vido card (may go to SLI in future) and expect to run Vista Ultimate 64 bit OS. The case is a coolermaster 690 with 6 fans and Scythe fan controller - I already have a Gateway 20in Widescreen that I really like. I've been building computers for some time now but not the current vintage. Main purpose is gaming but it will be used for general computing as well.
The questions I have, for those more experienced, are:
1. Has anyone successfully built a similar rig yet?
2. What ram would you recommend - I've been looking at Corsair XMS3 DHX 4GB DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800)?
3. What do you think of the build in general?
Best Regards,
Fidler
