14. Mention any other points if deemed necessary
A: I have the following configuration in my mind
Processor: i7 2600k @ 15900
Mobo: MSI Z68A GD65 (G3) @ 10800
Ram: G.Skill Ripjaws 1600Mhz 4GB @ 1650
Cabinet: NZXT Tempest Evo @ 5700
PSU: Corsair GS600 @4000
DVD Writer: Not Sure (Suggest me a good one)
[I also need hdmi cable and a pen drive under this budget, if possible....]
About the configuration mentioned above, I have following doubts in my mind:
1. Will GS600 be able to handle all the components mentioned above including 2-3 sata hard disk drive, 6 case fans and a powerful graphics card (priced around 15k)? I won't do sli or crossfire...
2. I have Microtech Safe Power 600VA ups, will it be able to handle the load of this rig, don't need much backup time, just enough time to shut down the system.
3. Since, I am not buying graphics card now, so will Intel integrated HD Graphics 3000 be able to handle little bit of graphics work in photoshop and gaming at low mid settings on my 17 inch monitor?
Want to play games like gta 4 and other old titles.......
4. Will I need an aftermarket cooler for i7 2600k, I will run it at stock speed for now.
Please HELP!!
