Hi guys,
I'm trying to build a new rig but after a couple of years outside the hardware scene i'm completely out of the loop and looking at all the shiny(cool) toys makes me dizzy.
So if you could give me some constructive criticism/advice on my rig it would be extremely helpful.
One note before I begin : I live in Romania so some of the products that you might recommend are hard to find or they take a while to get here. I have linked the components to newegg so you can take a quick look at them just in case.
Specs:
Proc: Intel Core i7 3770K 3.5 GHz box
Mobo: Asus P8Z77-V LK [secondary option:Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD3H ]
Memory: I'm aiming at some 16Gb kit from Corsair with CL7 but these are hard to find. Do I need to go as low as CL7 or can I settle for something higher? I'll mainly play on the rig and do some photo/video editing. Also coding but for that I won't need a lot of muscle power.
Power:Corsair Professional Series HX750 80 PLUS Gold
Case: torn between Cooler Master HAF 912 Plus and CM Storm Enforcer
Cooling:Noctua NH-D14
Video:either Gigabyte GeForce GTX 660 Ti OC WindForce 2X 2GB DDR5 192-bit or if it's worth it Gigabyte GeForce GTX 670 OC WindForce 3X 2GB DDR5 256-bit
The pain points for me at the moment are the mobo and memory so if you have any advice on that I'd appreciate it. Anyway, comments and opinions are most welcome.
Thank you,
Razvan
