Hi Guys.
I've spent the last few weeks designing this system.
I'm finally happy with it. I was wondering if someone would just go over it with me and criticise some of my decissions.
MY budget is 1400 Pounds however i must have a 24" benq monitor in there so its just over 1250 for the actual system.
The system is to run WYSIWYG (Lighting design program), Chamsys MagicQ aswel as a media server. (entertainment industry)
It is however going to be my personal PC and I will be using for it games. Mainly FSX as I have games consoles for the rest of them (....i sort of feel i might be slated for that)
Here we go...
ASUS CROSSHAIR IV EXTREME ROG Edition 890FX Socket AM3 Extended ATX Motherboard
AMD Phenom II X6 1100T Black Edition 3.3 GHz Socket AM3 6MB Cache Retail Box Processor
Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 1600Mhz CL9 1.5V Non-ECC Unbuffered
ASUS HD 6950 2GB GDDR5 Dual DVI HDMI Dual DP Out Graphics card
Coolermaster HAF X Case
Coolermaster GX 750W PSU - 6x SATA 2x PCI-E 80plus Certified
Samsung HD103SJ Spinpoint F3 1TB Hard Drive SATAII 7200rpm 32MB Cache
Theres all the usual bits and bobs aswell ...screen, optical drives, keyboard mouse, cables .etc but thats the bulk.
I really need to get this ordered in the next 24 hours as I have to make the banks before they close for new year and beat the VAT increase.
Any help appreciated ...any non compatabillity .etc. I had a nightmare matching the RAM to the motherboard and the ram im using isnt on the approved QVL list. I get the impression that there fussy and the ASUS community seem to suggest to find some one who has it working ...which isnt much help.
Thanks
Jimmy
