HELLO, I'm upgrading my pc. Already got a good Power Supply, case and monitor, keyboard, video card, hard disc and mouse. I just need: a CPU, motherboard and memory. (and maybe a SSD) Just a few questions here. I have no idea about bus speeds, mhz's and other things which might be a bottle neck, so that's why I made this thread. For CPU I spied: Intel Core i5 2500K Boxed http://ark.intel.com/products/52210 Memory: Vengeance® — 8GB Dual Channel DDR3 Memory Kit (CMZ8GX3M2A1600C8) http://www.corsair.com/vengeance-8gb-dual-channel-ddr3-memory-kit-cmz8gx3m2a1600c8.html Motherboard: Asus P8B75-M LE S1155 Intel B75 DDR3 mATX http://www.shop.bt.com/products/asu...3_1338380499_f72fde50f97aaff05155b77e42b922e2 SSD: (not really needed) Crucial m4 CT128M4SSD2 128GB http://www.crucial.com/store/partspecs.aspx?IMODULE=CT128M4SSD2 AFAIK, I should only watch that the FSB is matched with my memory speed or something? Will this be compatible or will there be a bottle neck? Also I got a cheap ass GT 240 video card, which obviously will be the bottleneck, but I can always upgrade that later. GFX: GT 240 http://www.nvidia.com/object/product_geforce_gt_240_us.html Is this a good set up, orrrr does anybody have suggestions for another type of motherboard/memory? Or will this suffice? Thanks in advance. Also, will the SSD drive fit into this motherboard? Lol.
SSD should be top of the list. Not a consideration, or an after thought. TOP of the list. I've got the Crucial M4 512 SSD in my laptop, and the thing screams along. I also use SSDs in my desktop PCs as well and they really do make the system much more responsive.
looks well mate. I recommend to not use SSD only. Use it for Windows and programms..for your rest data try to use/buy a normal HDD
Yeah I'm definately getting the SSD, others at work also suggested it. I'll just put W7 and most played games/programs on it, movies and stuff will be on a normal HDD. Is it recommended to use 64bit with SSD? Or is it recommended to use 64bit anyway? And the rest of the set-up is good? (motherboard+memory combination etc)
