Topic: Config Review Posted: 02 Jul 2010 at 2:54am |
Hey everybody this is my first time posting on the forum. I'm new to digital storm but have been reading up on them and checking out the site. I plan on getting a new pc from them in maybe two months and wanted some reviews and suggestions on the configuration I came up with. MY budget is around 2200. I'll be using the system for video editing, gaming, and microsoft office. My resoulution should be 1900x1200.

you didnt mention adding anything to the system so you can start by cutting that psu almost in half
for this set up 750w will be plenty
most everything else looks good, but do you really intend to use that much HDD space? its a pretty insane amount. youre better off to use the money you save by dropping the huge power supply and get yourself an intel SSD (80gb) main drive and a secondary 1tb drive
your mobo is a little overkill for what you have listed, but not a big deal
