Heyas everyone. Been narrowing down parts and peices last few months for a new rig and want some feedback and suggestions before I hit the button.
This'll prolly be considered a "gaming" rig, but I don't really hardcore game.
It's more for an all-rounder that'll last a few years.
I don't do very much video editing, but do on occasion.
I do a lot of audio editing and multi streaming.
I might OC it mildly (the CPU I plan to get seems to run pretty cool @ 4mhz)
I don't want liquid cooling, but more of a sealed LC system - would rather overkill a bit on that - don't want a bulky Air cooling system.
Fan controller feedback would be greatly appreciated as well as I'll stuff as many as I can (for overkill ofc).
I'll use a 24" monitor @ 1920 x 1080 rez.
Thermal lvl10 is big and ugly, but it's def the case I'll be getting because of the room and modular design.
Ima just list the "guts" I have lined up.
THERMALTAKE Level 10 GT
ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
INTEL Core™ i7-2600
CORSAIR 8GB (2 x 4GB) Vengeance™ PC3-12800 DDR3 1600MHz
CORSAIR HX1050w or COOLER MASTER 1200w Silent Pro Gold Series RSC00-80GAD3-US
CORSAIR 60GB Force SSD (or?)
BTW - I already have the new Keplar series PNY GTX680 sitting here waiting to be put in.
I am not "locked" in to any of the above besides the case and viddy card of course...
I DO like, or more "want" an x79 board/3820cpu but it is probably overkill for what I do, thus the z68/2600 combo.
I'm not super tech savvy, I just read a lot about the products before I decide to buy.
Any feedback/opinion?
