Topic: What upgrades are for longevity/stability? Posted: 05 Sep 2010 at 6:47pm |
My 4-year old ShuttlePC's 450W power supply just died and I want to replace my whole system with something that will last longer. Of course performance is important but not at the expense of longevity or stability.
Budget: ~$2000
I have 2 monitors, keyboard, mouse, headset and speakers.
Purpose: Gaming (mainly WoW 25-man raiding with Ventrillo, Rawr and a web browser open on a 2nd monitor)
Special Concerns: Dust, heat and to some degree noise.
I'm set on the HAF 932 "Best" configuration but which options would be good for longevity/stability as opposed to outright performance?
Power Supply: 750W vs 1000W, DigitalStorm vs Corsair
Memory: 1600 vs 1333, DigitalStorm vs Corsair
Video: GTX 470 vs ATI 5870
Air Stage 1: Coolermaster V6 GT vs Noctua
Chassis Fans: stock vs Zalman
Processor: Overclock? Sure it's imporoved performance for free but does it reduce the longevity/stability and which other upgrades does it require (e.g. power supply or cooling?)
Looking forward to your feedback!
