Questions about building my computer?

WheatleyDigital · 12-19-2011, 01:13 PM

Hello, I have a few questions about my proposed PC build
You may need to know that I work on VFX/ 3D Programs a lot.

1) Will these components work together? And how would I tell?
* Processor - i5 2500k
* Motherboard - GIGABYTE GA-Z68P-DS3
* RAM - Crucial 8gb (2x4gb)
* HDD - Caviar blue 1tb drive
* ODD -- LG BH10LS30 Super Multi Blue - BD-RE drive
* SMPS/PSU -- Antec High Current Gamer HCG-620 Power supply
* Graphics Card - Radeon 6770
* SSD -- Solid State Drive - Not decided yet

2) Does the "GIGABYTE GA-Z68P-DS3" motherboard have a sound card attached? If not, what is the best soundcard to get?

3) Does anybody know of any good monitors that will allow me to get the best out of my specs? (Around £100)

4) Anything else you advise/ recommend?

5) THANKS!

Mac OS won't work with a PC, unless you get one of these "Hackintosh" build, but that's not too too legal.

Another question:
1) What do I have to do in order for my Desktop to pick up wireless? Do i need extra hardware?

Thanks!

Yes, a wireless card, that motherboard doesn't have one, not all do.. infact can't remember when I last seen one that did..

300Mbps WiFi WIRELESS PCI LAN PC ADAPTER CARD NETWORK | eBay

Something like this, review others before you buy, make sure your wireless is correct, you most likely using wireless N(router, wifi)
