Hi guys, I very recently purchased this PC from PCspecialist:
PCS MAELSTROM T900 BLACK GAMING CASE
Processor (CPU)
Intel® Core™i5-760 Quad Core (2.80GHz, 8MB Cache) + Turbo Boost
Motherboard
ASUS® P7P55D-E: USB 3.0, SATA 6.0GB/s, CrossFireX™ SUPPORT
Memory (RAM)
4GB KINGSTON HYPER-X BLU DUAL-DDR3 1600MHz, X.M.P (2 x 2GB KIT)
Graphics Card
1GB AMD RADEON™ HD 6870 PCI EXPRESS - DirectX® 11, Eyefinity 4 Capable
2nd Graphics Card
NONE
3rd Graphics Card
NONE
Memory
1st Hard Disk 500GB SERIAL ATA 3-Gb/s HARD DRIVE WITH 8MB CACHE (7,200rpm)
2nd Hard Disk NONE
RAID
NONE
1st DVD/BLU-RAY Drive 24x DUAL LAYER DVD WRITER ±R/±RW/RAM
2nd DVD/BLU-RAY Drive NONE
Memory Card Reader
INTERNAL 52 IN 1 CARD READER (XD, MS, CF, SD, etc) + 1 x USB 2.0 PORT
Power Supply
CORSAIR 750W TX SERIES (TX750) 80+ ULTRA QUIET PSU (£88)
Processor Cooling
COOLIT ECO A.L.C (ADVANCED LIQUID COOLER) (£59)
Sound Card
Sound Blaster® X-Fi™ Titanium PCI Express (£59)
Network Facilities
WIRELESS 802.11N 300Mbps PCI CARD (£16)
My plan is basically to add a second radeon 6870 gfx card in the future.
One concern I have though is whether the processor will bottleneck the system once the second GFX card is added. I don't really know a great deal about building PCs, most of the decisions I made regarding this PC were done via internet research.
So basically I'm asking is the processor going to be able to handle the extra gfx card? I want to be able to play most modern PC games at full spec, will this PC (once the extra GFX card is in) be able to handle that?
Thanks for reading.
