Hey, I just ordered all parts for my new machine which are:
cpu: i5-2500K,
mobo: asus P6P67 PRO
psu: corsair TX750
ram: 8gb random 1600mhz 1.5V
gpu: 2 x HD 6970
case: Antec 600
edit: one 1TB disk and one 60GB SSD for now but possibly more in future
I don't plan to overclock, atleast not right away (maybe in a year or so) so I didn't worry much about the case, but now I read that 6970 in crossfire is VERY loud/hot so I'm wondering two things:
1) Is Antec 600 too small for this kinda build and if no, would it be big enough for overclocking in the future too? Main thing I'm worried about is airflow.
2) Do I need to buy any extra cooling (fans,etc) right away because of 6970s or will the PSU be enough?
Thanks.
