Project - Nemesis

I'm building my next computer soon and I was wondering if you could tell me if this is a good build or not and if I need to change something or add...

This is what the specs are so far:

*Case: Coolermaster HAF X

*CPU: Intel Core i5-750

*Motherboard: Asus P7P55D

*RAM: Corsair Dominator 4GB

*GPU: XFX ATI HD 5770

*Hard Drive: Western Digital Black 500GB

*Soundcard: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty

*CPU Cooler: Corsair H50-1

*Operating System: Windows 7 Professinal 64-Bit

So what you guys think?

Also I need to find a good Power supply but not sure what one....

On my computer I have a OCZ StealthXStream 600Watts... but i'm thinking to change to a different one on my new build... any ideas?

Cheers,

SnakeCracker

Good spesifications snakecracker.

But about mainboard:

What do you think about ASUS Rampage or Maximus Formula?

And CPU Cooler is Zalman.

Ram: 4 gb 1066 mhz OCZ

Power supply: HIGHPOWER is the best i think

And i think you dont need W7 Pro.

You can buy better ram or GPU instead of it smile.gif

I would love to get either one of them motherboards but they are just too much money....

And I might go up to 7 Ultimate.

The HD 5*** series is the one of the best out...

Nemesis?

You call it that because it will fight you? :P

Hope not

LOL Well tbh my computer hates me sometimes... I want it to do something and its just says NO right in my face and does a little spaz-out and then works.. lol

Nice build but I would go with the i7 930, we sell them for 199 at MicroCenter.

Stick with the H50 for cooling.

I think Corsair makes the best PSU (which is made by SeaSonic) or get a SeaSonic.

For the video card I would get the XFX version, XFX has the best warranties.

How is everything going snakecracker?

I forgot to put that in that i'm getting the XFX GPU version

And for how everything is going... Fine, just finished my ICT BTEC First course with an A grade, I'm now moving up to BTEC National. (I'm not sure if you have the same levels?) now i'm just visiting friends and family... Plus saving my money up.

You?

I have the same MBO, CPU and Graphic card. All I can say, go for it! I also bought Corsair, but cheaper XMS3, since I don't plan to overclock.

Oh I forgot you built a new rig :sweatingbullets: how does it run? Should I drop down to the XMS3? Also what PSU are you using N1K?

Just working and spending time with my daughter. I have her 1 week on and 1 week off now since school is out. She goes to summer school Mon-Thurs and a reading program on Sunday. So we have a tight schedule.

The new rig is running fine, although I have to say that I haven't noticed improvement over my previous configuration based on Intel Q6600 and 4GB of XMS2 RAM.

You can stick with the Dominator as the prices have gone down since I bought my machine, but IMO you would also be satisfied with XMS3 if you want to save a few bucks.

Glad to hear things are ok now. :) That is a tight schedule, althought if I was her my brain would die if i had summer school... lol

I think I will feel abit of improvement from my rig I have now. (Intel Pentium Dual-Core E5200 + 4GB DDR2 XMS2 800MHz + Nvidia 8600GT 256MB)

I think I might but i'm not sure yet as time comes I'll look into it. :)

Also I'm thinking of going with Corsair PSU...

Yeah, forgot to tell you. I am using Corsair HX 650W modular PSU. You can't go wrong with that one.

N1k I was just looking at your topic of your new rig and was wondering why you got the open case of the gpu than a closed case...?

Open case has a larger cooler which supposed to be more silent.

Also, cooler on the open case can be easily changed, but not on the closed case.

Those are the reasons why I've bought open case..
