My Specification (haven't bought the parts yet):
Case: Antec P183 Black Aluminum / Steel / Plastic ATX Mid Tower
PS: PC Power & Cooling Silencer PPCS910 910W ATX12V 2.2 / EPS12V 2.91
MOBO: MSI 790FX-GD70 AM3 AMD 790FX ATX AMD
CPU: AMD Phenom II X4 945 Deneb 3.0GHz Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor Model HDX945WFGIBOX
CPU Cooling: ZALMAN CNPS10X Extreme 120mm 2 Ball CPU Cooler
RAM: Patriot Viper 8GB (4 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 2000 (PC3 16000)
Video: 2xHIS H489FT1GP Radeon HD 4890 1GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFire Supported
Sound: Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium Fatal1ty Champion Series 70SB088600007 7.1 Channels PCI Express
HD1: Intel X25-M SSDSA2MH080G1 80GB SATA II MLC Internal Solid state disk (SSD)
HD2: Western Digital Caviar Black WD6401AALS 640GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0
Gb/s 3.5"
NIC: Killer NIC M1 Gaming Network Card – 10/100/1000Mbps PCI Network Adapter
OS: Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 64-bit
I'm also getting a 27" screen with a contrast ratio of 50000:1.
Now for my questions:
1) (Most Important question) Does my PS look large enough to support my system. I think it is large enough, but anyone who doesn't think so please tell me and why you think that way.
2) The MOBO supports 4xCrossFireX, I only plan to use 2xCrossFireX configuration, however I have one worry: Does the CrossFireX configuration require me to use the very top (closest to the NorthBridge) PCIe 16x and the next corresponding PCIe 16x slot to work? I need to know because my sounds card is PCIe and needs to use the slot in between the PCIe 16x slots near to the northbridge on the MOcoBO. If it does need those two slots for the use of CrossfireX instead of the bottom two I will need to find a different MOBO. If not, then good for me.
3) Will my cooler allow for OCing my CPU?
4) My case only has 2x120mm fans for intake and removal of air. The case also has somesort of expensive aluminum that is suppose to dissipate heat; the PS is also separated from main components to dissipate heat. My question is: do I need more fans? Any suggestions on what kind of fans? I prefer quiet.
I may have software questions later this year. Thanks for your help.
