Additional Comments:
my newegg wishlist
Really looking for longevity and durability
the rig would be placed in the basement which is usually around 20C, during the humid summer it should be closer to 30C room temp but we almost always AC then. the only thing about the basement I am worried about is if airflow wouldn't be good enough for the rig
would a heatsink fan suffice for now? if I ever choose to SLI would liquid cooling be needed then?
Quoted from a member named lehpron from the EVGA forums "But, in order to maintain your CPU stabilty; your RAM, HDD, motherboard, PSU, etc all have to be in sync and stable too. So while the CPU could theoretically take the punishment, total system stability depends on the other junk in the system."
How Long Before Failure ?
I hope the hhds would suffice, they do get great ratings I believe the others are good enough.
is 16 gb RAM 1600 enough or should I go higher 1866/2133/2400?
what do you think think about this monitor?
