My Intel Core i7 2600K Gaming PC [EVGA GTX 560 Ti Superclocked SLI Build]

[KillZone1478]

how do you use 2 video cards on 1 monitor?

[havock0701]

@KillZone1478 why not? i use nvidia cards, so i conncected both using a sli bridge and then took output from the top card to the monitor. if you dont have another monitor , by default all settings will be recomended for single monitor use, also you can toggle SLI so you can choose when to have 2 card performance and when to have 1 ;)

[SherlocksFlag]

Gmaepad? u mean Controller!

[havock0701]

@SherlocksFlag yeah , but sometimes its advertised as gamepad too, thats what got me into saying it . google gamepad and see the results :)

[87supertoaster]

Shit can fly?

[razusmode]

with this computer i promise you...u can play smothly games 2012 - 2014 maybe 2015 on ultra,you will see..sorry for bad english :=)

[HCGPlayer]

Hello :)

I have this Mousepad with a Razer Mouse too =)

I want to buy the same CPU like your CPU and ATI Radeon HD 6850 1gb

Can I play in Medium or Low settings with a fast fps with this hardware?

[havock0701]

@HCGPlayer yeah that a good mid-rage card, i've sen it have 33 fps (1920x1200 4xAA 16xAF) in games like Just Cause 2. infact you might even get to play some games in high settings. but dont expect much of 2011 or 2012 games to do this. over-all if ur ok with medium setting, go for it. pretty good.

[87supertoaster]

@havock0701 lolz i have same cards and sam CPU as him and i run Battlefield 3 on ultra 90FPS

[havock0701]

@87supertoaster sweet!

[DssDPT]

U mouse mad bro? ;P

[havock0701]

@DssDPT haha what? what about my mouse? :P it awesome! :P

[trashypickles]

are you an pow wow indian or a pakistanian

[havock0701]

@trashypickles racially indian..culturally..heavy fnkin metal \m/

[inderpreet6847]

@havock0701 u live in india

cause these parts r way expensive in india

.

.....

[havock0701]

@inderpreet6847 no i live in california, and i have no clue about the price bro. it cost me about $2000 approx. you can convert it. but i guess it wont be same...cause prices varies all over the world.

[TugUnboxings]

Hey, if i use a 2500k with 1 evga 560 ti superclocked maxed in bf3 in just 1 monitor (1920x1080) how many fps will i get?

[havock0701]

@TugUnboxings pretty low buddy..preyy low..cpu wont be prob. but 1 gtx 560ti for max isnt enough...forget fps..you can notice urself is not really smooth..and it will annoy you... if you want performance..go with recomended settings....dont adjust anything..

[TugUnboxings]

@havock0701 What graphics card would you recommend me for around the same price to get better performance mate?

[havock0701]

@TugUnboxings aw man tough one...i would ask you to go with gtx 570. but tell me...did u setup up ur pc already? if gaming in the primary thing, i would say go with an amd processor and save some money and invest it in a gpu, i went with intel cause i need more power for video and photo editing and video file conversions and so on. but if only gaming and some other basic stuff...go with amd. bang for the buck. so you can invest in gpu..gtx 570 is awesome, but its almost $100 more than gtx 560ti

[TugUnboxings]

@havock0701 Yeah, i'm going to build the pc for a friend :)

But don't you think the gtx560 direct cu 2 top would be close to the 570 ?

In some benchmarks the difference was just only 2-3 fps ... :/

[havock0701]

@TugUnboxings yeah but then again for future the 570 build will be more better... you can go upto 3 way sli with that..but with 560ti...just the regular sli. also yes its not much of a diff. between 560 ti and 570...also i would recommend GTX 560 Ti 448. its fairly a new card..if your not gonna add another card in future in sli...i think you can go for this one.

[galaxiesaver]

@TugUnboxings just go for the gtx 560 ti 448. best choice if you cant afford a 570 but want a card on a close (maybe even same) level :)

[galaxiesaver]

@TugUnboxings and then theres also SLI ;)

[magicmagic99]

@TugUnboxings Just leave out msaa and you've got 60+ fps msaa isn't neccesary in such high resolution you will see no difference

[TheLegendaryJerry]

very nice rig, kinda sad you use wireless internet :/

[havock0701]

@TheLegendaryJerry yeah i was going to go with powerline adapter..but this asus usb dongle has been working pretty darn good. yeah but powerline and hardwiring better any day.

[AudioGraphics]

Get evga's backplates for your cards... it helps with cooling and makes them look awesome

[havock0701]

@AudioGraphics thanks for the tip..never really thought about it. might actually try it out ;)

[epicsageify]

why did you get 2 vid card for 1 monitour i jest built my first pc and spent abouth 1k ad got 1 evga 560 for 2 monitours too and im playing skyrim on ultra i got a i5

[havock0701]

@epicsageify when try playing bf 3 , metro 2033 in full reslotion with 2 moniters...its gonna choke...anyway...i wanted to butter thru all current games without choking my video card. as for the cpu i do photo/video editing , so i need the extra power...yes if your major thing is only gaming..i agree..a core i5 2500k is more than enough.... :)

[MrPinkpanda69]

i had a razer anansi, but my keys started making weird noises. does your do that? so i just bought the blackwidow ultimate

[havock0701]

@MrPinkpanda69 mine are ok..just regular sound. so far so good.. blackwidow is really damn good...but i didnt want a mechanical..also i like how anasi looked ...looks over performance...and finally..i didnt wanna spend so much on keyboard. :)

[johnboy73525]

I just saw ur rig, nice! It looks almost exactly like mine but mines in a half x, I'm gonna start water cooling everything, I'll post a video of my rig sometime soon

[XXxxMoordenaarxxXX]

how much was this system??

[havock0701]

@XXxxMoordenaarxxXX since i didnt get the parts altogether at once...i'm not sure but approx $2000-2100...i did get some discounts on most stuff like HDD, SSD, Optical drive and stuff cause i got some friends who work in fry's

[nervoustwitch77]

nice system bro but u did absolutely skimp on the graphics its nice but paying for two wouldnt have been much more for a evga gtx 580 or a asus gtx 590,but in all in a nut shell u got a nice system u can check out mine at my page ill be adding a new video soo as the only thing i had to record my system was a shitty camera phone. good gob on the build bro gl in the future builds.

[havock0701]

@nervoustwitch77 well...i did notice in some reviews...2 gtx 560 ti give little better performance than 1 gtx 580. oh well...it was a decision i made later on when i already got one gtx 560 ti. i'm able to play all games in high/max settings hehehe...

[devil123adidas]

Kams Gethu da!! :P :D

I liked your slang, why dint you have this slang in school?? :P

[PANTERAIsTrueMetal]

isnt a 1050w psu kind of an overkill for 2 evga 560 ti sc cards ?

[havock0701]

@PANTERAIsTrueMetal corsair has many series...hx , ax, tx, AX being the top of the line and fully modular and most efficient. modular helps...keeps the unwanted wires off ur case. AX is more expensive trsut me worth it..hassle free. but the 1050 works as well... but its not fully modular or as efficient as the AX850 ....

[Fj4LiFe23]

@PANTERAIsTrueMetal absolutely

[DeerSlayer22266]

@PANTERAIsTrueMetal he may want to upgrade .......

[PANTERAIsTrueMetal]

Ill stick with that for atleast 3 or 4 years if it makes it that long if anythign i would go frome an i5 to an i7 wich isnt gonna use more than the 850 prolly then in 5 years ill build a whole new one lol

[PANTERAIsTrueMetal]

I think im gonna go with. Corsair Professional Series Gold 850-Watt 80 Plus Gold Certified High-Performance Power Supply - CMPSU-850AX - Corsair that sound better ?

[havock0701]

@PANTERAIsTrueMetal perfect. you might even wanna go higher if ur the kinda guy who will upgrade parts once in a hwile..i only got 850 watts cause i aint gonna do any major upgrade with this pc..i usually use them from 4-5 yrs and get a new one. oh and on a more lighter side..i saw your name is pantera... hahahah dimeback forever. heavy fucking metal comrade \m/

[m4ht1sonni]

@PANTERAIsTrueMetal oooooor u just buy corsair 1050w wit hsame price

[TimeManInJail]

may i ask what was the budget for this?

[havock0701]

@TimeManInJail i intended to spend arnd $2200, but i was able to save quite some thanks to me having friends working in fry's. so it cost me arnd ~1900-2000ish i'm looking to get good wirless headset..prolly one by logitech. oh well, pc works to my expectation. its the the ultimate pc. with also the money i saved i was able to get a nice chair. :)

[PANTERAIsTrueMetal]

it sais 737w with both cards wouldnt let me pick an ssd drive so i chose 10k rpm should be about the same right ?

[havock0701]

@PANTERAIsTrueMetal damn.....no i would highly recomend you get a new psu. its gonna bottle neck.... get some over 800. you need room space...if u dont have budget... get 80 plus bronze psu thats 800watt or above..should be cheaper. but if you do have budget get the AX series from corsair or Cooler Master 80 plus gold ones..that are over 800. should be good.

[nervoustwitch77]

@havock0701 yeah hes so close to the red line its not even funny

[PANTERAIsTrueMetal]

i have a 750 watt supply i have 1 evga 560ti sc atm but going to get another 750 will be enough right ?

[havock0701]

@PANTERAIsTrueMetal it will work...but emmm...dont overclock or add more components too your current rig...it will stress out your psu. google search "newegg psu calculator" and click on the first result..it will take you to psu calculator by newegg. so you can have an idea how much you current system is using and will you actually need to upgrade or not.

[ytj4m35]

@PANTERAIsTrueMetal Another 750? I am running the MSI Twin Frozr 560Ti OC edition in SLi and I'm using a Corsair HX850. It's an 850w power supply and that's plenty.

[ytj4m35]

@ytj4m35 read that wrong. 750 is a little on the low end, but if it is a quality PSU, it may be enough.

[nervoustwitch77]

@ytj4m35 coarsair makes some of the best in the business psu's.and they usually always put out way more than rated.

[vbstein]

We have simliar systems, yours looks gd

[havock0701]

@vbstein thanks, its a beast..for my budget! :)

[inderpreet6847]

@havock0701 yup its a bast but what would be its price in india ............
