i7-2600 for Gaming

[Sharris]

So i finally decided it was time to get a new PC, luckily i stumbled across sandy bridge before i ordered the i7-950
Will be using it for gaming at 1920x1080, budget is pretty much maxed already but have a couple of questions like would the power supply be sufficient if i was to add another graphics card later and is it worth swapping the RAM for the 4gb of samsung or is the 1600Mhz worth it?

Change the ram to 4bg samsung, btw your power supply is definately not enough to add another gtx460 in SLI, and also you would have to change the motherboard to the one that support SLI.

bg92 is correct here - if you wanted to add another graphics card at a later date you should consider ordering at least a 600W PSU or above.

For the RAM - both the 1333MHz and 1600MHz will offer great performance, but at the moment the Kingston is very competitively priced and therefore you may wish to proceed an order this.

Keep the 1600 Kingston memory, consider a 2500k instead of a 2600, almost as good , you lose HyperThreading which is of little use when gaming and gain c£70-80 which could go towards a better graphics card (maybe the GTX560/570). Would also , as said above, consider a 600w PSU.

If you plan to overclock, consider;

- Change CPU to 2500k
- Keep Kingston 1600Mhz RAM
- Upgrade CPU Cooler to Titan Fenrir
- Upgrade PSU to Corsair TX650

If you do not plan to OC, consider;

- Change CPU to 2500
- Change RAM to Samsung 1333MHz
- Upgrade PSU to Corsair TX650
- Upgrade Graphics Card to GTX570 or add a second GTX460 in Sli
