New Member and New RIG!

Kiyo
Level 7
First of all I'd like to introduce myself, I am a hardworking student and plays some sports like Basketball and Paintball, I enjoy hanging out with my close friends, chilling and talking. I like helping out people, helping other people succeed while succeeding with them. When not doing these i tend to play FPS games.

Gaming helps me out harness my competitive and teamwork side. Started out when i was eight, CS ; Condition Zero it is. Played a lot of LAN Parties, I was hungry for more, till then i played competitively. Moved on to 1.6 and then Source, looking forward to build a new RIG for CS;GO.


Anyways, lets get to the Tech part! 😄

THE RIG ITSELF.

Motherboard : ASUS Maximus V GENE Z77
GPU : ASUS GTX 660 Ti Overclocked Edition
CPU : Intel i5-3570k
RAM : Corsair Vengeance Red 8GB
PSU : Corsair Professional Series HX 750 Watt 80+ GOLD Modular
HDD : Western Digital Caviar Black 1 TB SATA
SSD : SAMSUNG 830 Series 64 GB SATA
CASE : Cooler Master HAF XM

EXTRA PERIPHERALS FOR THE RIG.

CPU COOLER : Corsair H100 Extreme Performance Liquid CPU Cooler
EXTRA FANS : Corsair Air Series AF120 Performance Edition x2 (Will add on to the Radiator of the H100)
EXTRA FANS : Corsair Air Series AF140 Quiet Edition x2 (Will add to the back of the Case and add to the front mesh)

PERIPHERALS.

MOUSE : Logitech G9x
KEYBOARD : Razer BlackWidow
M. MAT : SteelSeries QcK (BLACK)
MONITOR : ASUS VW246H 24-Inch Full-HD LCD Monitor

Yes you might be wondering, why is there a Monitor, Mouse, Keyboard and the Mat in there? It's because i'm starting from scratch, i will be setting up my rig with those new Peripherals.

Would try to 'OC the i5-3570k but would need some help, and where can i buy sleeved cables for my Modular PSU? 😉

Thank you for taking the time to help me out! RoG is far out an awesome community.

No, the HX series isn't fully modular. The ATX connector is still attached to the PSU. The AX series is fully modular. You're going to have to buy the AX750. 😛

Perhaps give me a link through Amazon? A gold rated one?

Oh and by the way, what's the difference between the colors? Bronze, gold etc

Efficiency during load. Where gold is 87 at 20% 90 at 50% 87 at 100%

The AX850, is a gold rated PSU. For sleeving just do it yourself 🙂

In SLI/Crossfire, you get better framerates at higher resolutions/detail. Otherwise, you can run more monitors. Else, nothing except a place to sink more money. 😄
I am disturbed because I cannot break my system...found out there were others trying to cope! We have a support group on here, if your system will not break, please join!

We now have 178 people whose systems will not break! Yippee! 🙂
LINUX Users, we have a group!

I'm not going further than 1 monitor, would that give me an advantage or two? If so please list. 😄

Nope with one monitor a single card (top end one) is going to pretty much max out all the eye candy and still have more in the tank for later. 🙂
To help us help you - please provide as much information about your system and the problem as possible.

Is it worth it to get 2 gpus on one monitor?

Prolly 1080, will go for 1920 if bored xD
