Hi All,
Having been here on Hexus for a number of years I come in and out of up to date knowledge on hardware, however it's time for my Core2Duo to get replaced with something new. This will be replaced entirely and take it's place as my second rig, as main backup solution for the home network.
The plan for the new machine from what i've researched as as follows :-
Asus P8P67 Pro Rev3
Intel Core i5 2500K Unlocked Retail
Corsair DDR3 Vengeance Jet Black, PC3-12800 (1600)
240GB OCZ Technology Vertex 3, 2.5" SATA 6Gb/s Sandforce SSD
1TB Seagate ST31000524AS Barracuda 7200.12, SATA 6Gb/s, 7200rpm, 32MB Cache
1GB XFX HD 6870 Black Edition, 4600MHz GDDR5, GPU 940MHz, 1120 Stream Processors,
Lian Li PC-A04B Black Mid Tower Aluminum Case w/o PSU
850W Corsair HX Series V2, Modular
Microsoft Windows 7 Professional 64 Bit SP1
I'm after a small midi machine, and i'm drawn to the Lian Li so if you are commenting on this can you please bear this in mind.
Anything i've missed, think I should get. The likelihood is that it won't be O/C for a few years, so i'm also fairly comfortable with the retail cooler for now.
Will be used for a mix between CiV5, Witcher2 type game play (which is why the 6870 fits, i'm not really a FPS player any more), and home development, MS-SQL, IVR development etc.
Anything that springs to mind, even if it's confirmation that i've done my research and it's right on the money is well received, as i say it's a while since i had to catch up to speed and want to use your collective knowledge to just double check it
Thanks
TiG
