Hello everyone.
I'm new here, my friend told me this was a good forum to get some feedback and advice for building a new desktop.
I don't really know a lot about hardware, so try not to use too complicated computer terms
Anyway, I've had a laptop for a while now, but I'm turning into a gamer, so i need a stronger system. Also my laptop gets insanely hot so I really need something else.
I went to alternate to build my desktop, and I think I pretty much got what I want, but maybe some of you spot some bad choices.
Remember: I need to start completely from scratch, I don't have anything so I also need a case and DVD bay etc.
I want to spend about €1000,- I think, my current setup is €1145
I'm looking for a powerful gaming PC.
So here is my setup so far:
Graphics Card: EVGA GeForce GTX 470 -- €239,90
Processor: AMD Phenom II X6 1090T (6 x 3200 Mhz) -- €204,90
Motherboard: ASRock 890GX Extreme3 -- €104,90
Harddisk: Western Digital WD5000AADS (500 GB, 2 times) -- total of €71,98
RAM memory: Kingston ValueRAM 6GB DDR3-1333 Tri-Kit (3 x 2 GB) -- €79,90
Power Supply: Scythe Chouriki 2 Plug-in 850W -- €132,90
and I dont know if this is also the place to post these things, but...:
Case: Cooler Master Gladiator 600 -- €61,90
DVD-rewriter: LiteOn IHAS124 (Serial-ATA) -- €17,99
Keyboard: Logitech Illuminated Keyboard -- € 59,90
Monitor: Iiyama E2209HDS-B1 (21,5") -- €179,90
OS: Windows 7 64 bit
(these are all Alternate's prices, so I may get them cheaper)
(Also, I already have a mouse (Predator gaming mouse or w/e) and a headset (fatal1ty gaming headset stereo jacks))
There is already one problem though: my processor won't go with a tri channel RAM, so I need to change one of those.
My cousin told me that 3 x 2 GB was for some reason MUCH faster than 2 x 2, so i tried to get that but now it seems I can't.
So, am I missing something? or do I really need to change something? or just other reccommendations?
any help is greatly aprreciated, I'm kind of scared to make these choices since I don't know a lot and it's a lot of money for me.
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: also, sorry if I made some spelling or grammar mistakes, I'm Dutch
