Hello friends! I'm new in all these things about OC, hardware parts and that thing. I would like to hear people comments about this build I'm going to buy soon. Please share any comments, hints, etc.

Welcome to OCC!

 

I'm going to guess you aren't in the USA??

 

Your english is quite good and your build also looks to be well selected

 

Changes I'd make off the bat

 

CoolerMaster V8----> to CoolerMaster 212+ or 212 EVO

 

i7 2600 ------> i7 2600K

 

ASUS Maximus ------> To something that will perform just as well and not be overpriced :P

 

depending on the resolution of your monitor, the 2GB version of the 6950 might be a waste of money

You guessed well, I'm not from USA, I'm from El Salvador.

I come to this forum because I thinked that users in this forum will have more knoweleged about the topic =P

Well, I'm searching for places that have this 2600k but I only found them in webstores like amazon, I guess I better buy it from there right? instead of 2600

mmm you said that the motherboard can be replaced right? Is a shame that here in my country, they only have MSI Z68A-GD80 G3, MSI P67A-GD55 B3 and MSI H67MS-E43 (including the Maximus Extreme)

I think a p6z68 would be great (it has same perfomance with extreme) but I can only buy it online =/

The issue buying online is that chipping isn't avaible in my country, and the enterprises that offers the service, are very expensive =/

In the future I want to buy another 6950 to crossfire it, so that's why I'm buying the 1000w CM now :)

 

Also, this is my first build (actually I have a Dell 1545) I'm going to buy a 25'' HP (1080) so I don't know if I must change the GPU for a 1GB ver.?

I'd personally get the MSI P67A-GD55 since it has the core features and is probably the cheapest P67 available to you (the H67 is probably cheaper but then you couldn't overclock the CPU if you wanted to)

 

If you're only getting a 1920x1080 resolution monitor I'd downsize to a 1GB card!

For i7-2600, H67MS-E43 will suffice, and would be the best choice as pairing a P67/Z68 based motherboard with a non-K series processor is nothing but waste of money. Otherwise if you like to overclock your processor, then go with i7-2600K and MSI Z68A-GD80 G3. Would be best combo. And if you can afford Maximus IV Extreme Z, then it would be worthy spending extra money on the motherboard, as it is one of the very best motherboard for LGA 1155 processors.

Lower resolution needs less video RAM but that doesn't mean games use less memory - newer games with high-resolution textures can easily eat up 1 GB of RAM even at 640x480 if you crank the texture settings up. ;)

I remade my build changing some parts.

The new parts will be these instead of the listed before:

 

i7 2600k

 

Corsair Vengeance 16GB 1600

 

Shapphire 6970

 

Asus Maximux IV gene-z

 

 

Tell me if this motherboard is good or it can be changed for other one. Also, this one is cheaper than the Extreme.

Also, I'm going to buy them online, stores in my country are out of stock of these Items, and even these parts are cheaper than buying them here ( I dunno why =/ )

Can you post the stores you are buying from? Links to them will help us make better informed suggestions. Again as ivy said you could get a similar/better board cheaper, especially if we fb view available products and prices. Even if the site is in Spanish ummm be fine give us a max budget too and we will help you put together the best possible rig.

 

Thats a m-tx board so will be quite small and cramped.

So the Asus maximus isn't a good choice?

I'm planning to buy from amazon, so they send the parts to a parent, so he can send them to me to my country.

 

These are the links of the parts that I will buy from amazon (or if there's another cheaper webstore, tell me please)

 

i7 2600k

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004EBUXSA/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

RAM

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004RFBIUU/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

GPU

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004PFVNIY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&m=ATVPDKIKX0DER

 

Mobo

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005584ZHQ/ref=s9_hps_bw_g147_ir02?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-9&pf_rd_r=1GD8SQSC6Z2160REQRAJ&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1313187442&pf_rd_i=193870011

 

Also, help to choose a mobo with z68 chipset, I want to overclock it in a near future and get the h67 and p67 possibilities.

Sorry if I don't know too much of the topic, but this is my first build and I never had made a OC =P

 

I want to ask if is good to use for a time a GPU, then buy another one and crossfire it?

I think is better to put them together the same time, but can this be bad for the GPU if I put the other one later?
