If you had the choice of these options to run BS what would you go for?

 

4GB KINGSTON HYPER X SPECIAL DDR3 2133MHz or 8GB KINGSTON HYPER X GENESIS DUAL DDR3 1600MHz X. M. P. thanks in advance.

Definitely go 8GB of RAM

 

PS: GPU is video card (Graphics Processing Unit)

Theres no spec what the video card is, I contacted the company and they said the video card is on the graphics card which is GTX 580.

Would 8GB of RAM running at 2133MHz make a significant difference, its a lot more cash, so I don't want to buy something that is wasted if I am just playing BS, thanks again for your help I'm almost ready to order!

GTX580 is current fastest single GPU video card from nVidia, just google for its if you want to know more of its specs. About that RAM, 1600MHz is enough, you don't have to waste money on 2133MHz one

Lower latency is better then higher clock. there is ample choice for latencies within the 1600MHZ range. :)

OK just to confirm,

 

GTX 580 1.5GB [graphics card]

8MB RAM 1600MHz

BLACK CAVIAR 7200RPM SATA [hard drive]

I7 2600K [CPU]

ASUA P8P67 SATA 6.0 GB crossfireX [motherboard]

triple copper heated heat pipe, NOT LIQUID COOLED

So, this will run BS flat out no probs, thank you very very much.

One other thing, I can upgrade the motherboard to an SLI, will this make a difference, thanks in advance.

Let's keep it on topic shall we.

If you go SLI you will need another video card of same brand/type so you're looking at more money there, and really unless you're running massive resolutions with multiple monitors I personally don't think SLI is worth the money.

Looks good, this will run A-10C maxed :thumbup:

 

If you're only going to use one screen you could look at getting a GTX 570 instead of the 580. There is a very steep price difference between the two as compared to actual effect and getting the 570 would clear up around $200-250 which you can use on a decent SSD :book:

 

But yes, that's a good pc build.

Thats a very good idea, thank you.

Before you hit the 'Buy' button, be sure to check out Overclockers.co.uk. I went through this dance a year or so ago and they were by far the best/cheapest in the UK for pre-built systems.

[awdrgyjo]

I will, thank you.

[awdrgyjo]

Sorry, last question before I press the "buy now " button, regardless of price what motherboard would be your choice:

 

ASUS P8Z68 PRO

ASUS P8P67 DELUXE

 

This is my very last question on this subject, thank you very much for your very kind contributions, you have saved me a lot of money, and most importantly, a machine that covers all the parameters, and that will fly BS flat out, awdrgyjo signing off.

If the price is the same, I'd go for the P8Z68-V PRO. If the P67 one is cheaper, I'd go for that one.

 

Basically, the main difference between them is that the Z68 board allows you to use the CPU's integrated graphics chip, which the P67 does not allow. However, I doubt you'll actually use that feature (I have a P67 board and I don't really see myself having a use for the iGPU either), and they're pretty much equivalent in the other respects.

 

And yeah, that looks like an amazing rig. It'll keep you maxing games for a long time. :)
