  1. No problem x)

     

     

    As for the card and motherboard well, getting a PCI 3.0 motherboard from what I've seen, is rather expensive. I mean I'm running a PCI 2.0 motherboard yet I'm running BF4 on ultra. Just it won't be as "future proof" as a PCI 3.0. So I'll suggest a card instead.

     

    If you're going all the way, getting this card will make just about every current game 60fps no problem. (At least without every hd mod out there)

     

    Now this one, can still kick some serious butt...but...it isn't as future proof. It is still a really good card and you'll be able to play games far in the future, just you might have to play on medium than.

     

    Like I said, upgrading in the future isn't a huge concern for me right now.

     

     

    Thanks for the suggestions, I'll put the list together and weigh my options.

  2. I can assist!

     

    After going through all your specifications, I'm going to say first of all the system probably won't even boot, mainly because you have a 430W power supply. That little thing won't be able to power your motherboard, that massive video card, and that rather raid CPU. I suggest a 600W PSU, just to be on the safe side.

     

    Going through your motherboard specs, you have a PCI 2.0x16 with a memory slot capable with 2133MHz DDR3. Now, you have a video card that is PCI 3.0 and ram that is only going 1600MHz. With the video card it won't really hurt anything, but you're not getting the full potential of the card and going overpriced. I suggest looking for a lower costing card in the PCI 2.0 range or upgrading to a PCI 3.0 motherboard.

    As for the ram, I suggest this since the more ram you have the better, and you're going to go at full speed.

     

    Seeing this as a budget, knocking down that video card and using the cash upgrading your ram and PSU should even it out to what it was before, if not cheaper.

     

    Otherwise your hard drive, DVD burner, and everything else looks good. Though I recommend in the future that you get a SSD, since if you put your OS on that it will take literally no time at all to boot. Oh, speaking about OS, you're going to need to add windows, linux, or whatever OS to the system, so don't forget to order that as well tongue.png

    Thanks for the help.

     

     

    As for the power supply, that sounds like a good option, since It's only $10 more.

     

     

    The ram hurts my wallet, but I know at least that much that I need a lot of RAM. SO, I'll suck it up and deal with it if I go through with this.

     

     

    As for the card and motherboard, can you suggest anything that would help in that area?
