So I'm going to make a sexy custom built desktop.
The processor I am thinking of going for is - i7 3770 (quad core).
On this benchmark websiteIt is really high on the chart, but it only costs about £250. Good value for money.
The GPU I am not sure about, I was thinking of gtx 560, because It is quite high on the chart, yet only £130 (Great value for money) Plus this rig will last me 5 years + so I can replace this card at any given time.
(
here are some benchmarks)
I have not a clue regarding motherboards, is there some kind of benchmark website for them? and are all latest motherboard compatible with any latest gpu/processor combination or can there be a problem there?
I already have a Corsair HX 750W Silver grade PSU. Question is, will it be able to run the specs I displayed?
I have a soundcard from my old pc.
About the hdd, can someone explain to me the importance of a good hdd in a powerful system? Are those brandnew fancy expensive drives worth it?
Finally the ram, What is the difference between 1333mHz, 1600, 1866, 2133? I mean, obviously the higher the mHz the better the chip, but is it worth spending extra money on lets say 8GB of 2133mHz ram when 8GB of 1333mhz is much cheaper?
Also, how much ram should my pc have? Is something like 16gb in 4x chips enough?
