Help with a PC

  1. What is a memory card reader is that for an SD card?
  2. 8GB is more than enough..
    but besides that I think the PSU a bit to low :)

    Looking at the gpu id get a GTX 660ti or like jkjk says a 7770 but if money aint an issue grab higher :p

    If you want to oc a cpu, then get atleast a cpu cooler instead of the std one - I hope their std coolers are a bit better then few years ago tho... ( but id take an 3570k then )
    Oooh and please get an SSD :D

    PS:

    Also, correct me if I am wrong but, ( I also asked a bud tho )
    Phsy rednering = cpu
    graph rendering = gpu
    so its not to much ram dependant
  3. Solid State Drive, lovely for the operating system ( in this case Windows 7 ) and some games of course :D

    aaand graphics processor unit aka videocard

  5. well don't go SSD if you want it to be cheap,

    HD 7770
    8GB 1600mhz RAM
    1TB HDD 7200rpm
    AMD FX 6200

    That should be all good if you want to record but if your going into recording properly you want loads of storage.
    a non compressed 1080p Video (15-20 mins) can be up to 10GB so you can record about 70 videos before running low on disk space.
  6. I have a removable HD.
  7. Few changes - Get a FX-6300, 30% performance increase, Get an SSD, I can't stress enough how much of a performance difference it'll make to the boot and up responsiveness of you're system (My OCZ vertex 4 boots in 4 seconds and loads chrome in .1 of a second)
  8. I didn't even notice that. There is no way that the power supply will have enough plugs to support all that. At the least go with a 600watt

    I'd go with a 750 though.
  9. 450w will support that set-up without much issues if it's a decent PSU, the 6670 is pretty low powered and AMD recommends a 400w or more PSU.

    6oow is overkill

    and 750w is dual GTX 680 territory.
  10. Well I gotta agree, loads of people these days have like 750-1000w wich is just facepalm.
    But id still take a 500w - decent or not :)


    Well Hx, the psu wasn't towards your quote tho, but again take another psu
    About the removale HD ( An external drive I guesse? )ifso kinda obvious but I think it would go slower, cause its by USB? :)


    PS, ugh 7-9 days? bleh :p
  11. Im not saying that it won't support it, but the GPU will take 2 6-pin plugs, and if it only has 1 then you have to use a 4 pin adapter, which may take away from the amount of plugs you need to run the fans. With a higher gpu there are more plugs to incorperate with the amount of things that need to have power.
  12. i would look for different ram, ive heard of Samsung plastic junk on its physical memory melting a bit read up on liquid cooling too before you spend money on a high end processor
  13. Corsair modular :3 problem solved :D
  14. the 6670 doesn't need any PCI-E 6 pins, It's 5o watts at full load, which is 25w less than the maximum the PCI slot itself can supply (75w)
  15. also for the love of sweet baby jesus and the flying spagetti lord DO NOT get windows 8 just running the os takes up a ridiculous sum of ram and most games out now arent compatable with it
  16. Read the last post the creators made - Windows 7, don't worry, he's smart :p

  17. Depends too.. You can get a SSD hooked up throug a USB 3.0 port and get the same speeds. So as long as it is connected VIA USB 3.0 it will have the same speed.
  18. Ahn! I've been planning in actually getting some backup drives for ages but I still havent =D

    ( imo usb speed is so random -_-' )
  19. USB is pretty decent for outright transfer speeds, but if you do any heavy activity on the drive it'll go painfully slow, USB has high latency's and very low IOP's compared to SATA (If you have an eSATA port, use that instead)
