Build, Thoughts?

[davidandersson]

So I am upgrading my computer. The specs will be:

Intel i7 2600 CPU
Asus P8P67-LE-V3 Mother Board
8G Kit 1600 Kingston HyperX RAM
Patriot SATA3 PYRO (Sanforce SF-2281) 60G Solid State Drive

Already have:
ATI 5850 Graphics Card
3 TB of internal Western Digital storage

Any thoughts? Anything not compatible?

2600k, yes? 2500K essentially performs the same and costs less.
Motherboard is OK.
What timings on the RAM?

Which model HDD's? Not really an issue though as you're getting an SSD.

I take it you'll be using the PSU in your sig?

If you can wait a little while, people are saying that Bulldozer might be getting released (paper launch/ship for revenue) by the 1st of sep. Wouldn't bank on it as people said it would launch in june/july as well.

well considering they say amd will be drawing for winners of their giveaway i think it was like before the 10th, i'm pretty sure it'll b out soon

and i'd personally get the 2100 since it isn't too much and is still a great cpu, then save up to get an ivy-bridge early next year, prob would say to get a better mobo too though so you will be better off once it is out, but if you do get the i5 or i7, then get the 2500k or 2600k, they have unlocked multipliers, so overclocking is a breeze
