Hi, I'm new here and wanna see some of your thoughts about my first pc build..
CPU : Intel Core i5-2400 3.1-3.4GHz Turbo Quad-Core
MB : ASRock Z68 Extreme3 Gen 3
RAM : G.SKILL Ripjaws X 8GB (4GBx2) 1600 CL9
GPU : (Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 2GB or EVGA GTX 560 Ti 1GB Dual fans)?
HDD : Seagate Barracuda 1TB SATA 6.0Gb/s
SSD : Corsair Force Series 3 60GB SATA 3 6Gb/s
OD : ASUS 24X DVDwriter SATA DRW-24B3ST
PSU : SilverStone 500W Strider Plus 80PLUS Bronze (Modular)
ATX : NZXT (Lexa S Steel) Midtower Chassis
I'm not going to overclock it now but I chose Z68 board for future proof, maybe in future I'm gonna upgrade some parts and going to overclock it.
How about my GPU? They're both at the same price, a little difference in price though, but what should I choose? Is Sapphire Radeon HD 6950 have good cooling system? A reliable one than the EVGA GTX 560 Ti?
Thank you in advance
