I've been out of PC gaming for a few months, but now I'm back, from outer space. Anyways, here is my proposed build for the end of this month. Advice & thoughts needed please
Case -Antec 300
PSU -XFX 650W XXX Edition Single Rail Modular PSU
MB -Gigabyte GA-890FXA-UD5 890FX
CPU - AMD 1090T (Aiming for 3.8/4 ghz oc)
Cooling - Corsair CWCH50
Memory - Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1333MHz HyperX Memory Kit CL7 1.7V
Hard Drives - 2 x Western Digital BLACK 640GB Hard Drive SATAIII 7200rpm 64MB Cache
Optical Drive - LiteOn IHAS124-19 24x DVD±RW DL & RAM SATA Optical Drive
Graphics Card - Gigabyte GTX 460 Super OverClock Edition 1GB
OS - Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit
Gaming Keyboard suggestions needed
Note - I already have the processor (recieved today ) and I already have a Dell monitor which I'm more than happy with @1680x1050.
Questions -
1. Are there particular SATA 3 cables I will need for the hard drives as they are OEM and I only have SATA 2 cables?
2. Suggestions for quiet but effective fans for the Antec 300
3. RAID 0 - I have a slower hard drive which could be used for storage so would I install the OS and games on the raid setup? Also, any clash if I am running the older drive via sata 2, is that possible?
4. The sbridge on this board is known to get hot, what size fans can i place on it to help the cooling?
General thoughts on the build are also welcomed
Thanks guys.
