Need your comments:D

[jialiu857]

Hello. I'm considering the following pc and need your comments on the parts I chose. Especially:
1. Will the power supply be too much for the pc?
2. What about the cooler of the processor and case? I dont have any idea of this....
3. About the motherboard, any suggestions? I've picked the default one.


And finally, anyone suggest me taking GTX480 instead?XD I've heard that it has a very very high working temperature haha

That looks spot on, the stock cooler is designed by inter for that cpu so it will perform fine if your keeping everything at stock clocks. The PSU is a good choice and about right considering your graphics card.

The only oddity is its more traditional to go for an odd number on the ram as I7 supports triple channel memory. 8Gb will work fine though, its usually 3, 6 or 12.

id maybe look at the samsung memory

I would change the SSD. IMO, If you going to get an SSD, you may as well get the fastest. I'm getting the 60GB OCZ. But otherwise, this is a very good system.
What's with the Windows 7 Pro? What does it have that Premium doesn't?

Windows 7 Professional is only beneficial if you need XP mode, Domain Join or the ability to backup to a home/business network.

Thank you very much for the help.

So basically it's better to change the RAM to 6GB cossair ones? And yeah, I will get 60GB OCZ

 

[Gorman]

i would agree with that summary.

Ha, good choice.

Well then to me, it's pretty darn pointless.
