Is this a good setup? - Hardware & Software

I'm planning on buying all of this soon, and I just wanted to know if it all fits together and I won't have to worry about compatibility.

The link to the HDD is wacky or something because the entire page is screwed up, it seems to have gathered reviews from literally everything. If gaming is what you're doing, you only need 8GB of ram, any more is useless. I'd get this PSU instead: [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028&Tpk=Corsair%20CX600&IsVirtualParent=1"]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139028&Tpk=Corsair%20CX600&IsVirtualParent=1[/URL]

Yeah, it was okay earlier, I wonder what happened? Hmm. Why the lower wattage PSU? [editline]13th April 2013[/editline] And yes, it's for gaming, but I do use the whole adobe master suite, so I render a lot and all that crap. I'm not sure if it would still make a difference, but I figured it wouldn't be a bad idea? I don't know. Feel free to make alterations, that's why I made the thread. I've only built one PC before this one and it was for a friend, now it's finally time to build my dream gaming rig.

Rosewill does a lot of rebranding and it's hard to know where they source their products from. I don't trust them. You didn't need 750 watts anyway. You can go with the Corsair CX750 if you like, for future expandability. If you're doing rendering then definitely get 16 GB. [editline]13th April 2013[/editline] Also, SLI can cause some problems in games (If you're not aware of them, I'll explain if you want :smile:) so I'd recommend getting a single, more expensive GPU. [editline]13th April 2013[/editline] Sea Sonic's PSUs are the best of the best, but at a price.

AFAIK they're all OEM'd by Super Flower which is reputable. [editline]13th April 2013[/editline] Although if you're going to get a Rosewill PSU then get a HIVE or Capstone [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817182133[/url]

I know that SLI and Crossfire can upset some games, I have a crossfire AMD on my other PC right now and it runs most games alright, I can only think of a few it has problems with, but other then that, I don't have an issue with my crossfire. I've been wanting to switch over to Nvidia anyways because I believe they support their cards better then AMD. Nvidia is always releasing driver updates when AMD releases one every 3-4 months. (not counting BETA drivers, which never work for me, I might add!)

I heavily advise against those wind turbine EVGA coolers. They are loud as hell. Either install different coolers on them or get a brand with at least dual fans.

(Mine is only noisy when I max'd AC3 and it tried to get 120fps because of my screen) Anyways, get a 660 TI

Why a 660 Ti?

Oh wait what, you're getting two?! You might as well buy a 670, you're getting better performance that way. Not all games support SLI either.
