With a new game coming out (APB) the computer I currently have is a little ... lackluster.
So im going to build a new one. I been runnin around newegg tryin to figure out what I want or could use/afford. I think i have it all set up but have a few questions and would like some feed back if at all possible.
First id like to ask when it comes to PCIe video cards I see that its possible to now link 3 if I get that correctly. Should I do that?
The memory of what I decided on im not to confident with ... I believe the mother board I can have up to 6 sticks of memory .. since im only going with 3 at 2gigs a piece im not sure what i should do honestly.
Also if possible to check out what I picked if they will run well together and there a good price for what it is. and if there is any recommendations on what to switch out with whatever else that would be awesome
the specs of what I would get are as follows:
ASUS P6X58D-E LGA 1366 Intel X58 SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 ATX Intel Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 125W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ965FBGMBOX
CORSAIR DOMINATOR 6GB (3 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Triple Channel Kit Desktop Memory Model TR3X6G1600C8D
MSI N470GTX-M2D12-B GeForce GTX 470 (Fermi) 1280MB 320-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card x2
Seagate Barracuda LP ST32000542AS 2TB 5900 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Hard Drive -Bare Drive
