--- Quote from: kitamesume on April 27, 2011, 12:47:01 AM ---well currently, i have not seen an OS past 40gb yet, so 40gb of ssd is enough, but if you're concerned then try at least to pick up a 60gb.

How much do you reckon Win7 takes up- Updates and all? And 60GB is a good idea.
--- Quote ---the ram i linked is a pretty big deal, usually that kind of rated ram is about £100, and right now its £50+, you could try searching other options but its a pretty darn good deal.

I'll check it out tommorow.
--- Quote ---if you're purely on gaming, and gonna go multi card later on, GTX 560 Ti, when SLIed, rivals the newest GTX590(dual GPU single card, meaning, SLI out of the box in one card) the image quality of the newest Nvidia card and ATI isnt that much of a difference to be concerned about, but if you actually compare it side by side you`d see differences, Nvidia mostly seems grainy and colors abit dull, while ATI looks sharp and colorful.
you dont wanna waste money on GTX570 tho, if i give a scale of speed, its like GTX 560 Ti [3/10] - GTX 570 [4/10] - GTX 580 [9/10] - GTX 590 [10/10], GTX 560 Ti practically sandwiched GTX 570 on it's value.

After what you said about the images, ATi is definetly a fucking winner !!!!!! Sorry I'm not going for Nvidia. I'm going for the 6970. I'll buy that staright out, what do you think? Use it singly for awhile then when it gets a little crappy I'll get a another one.

I might look into that if it affects internet gaming. What sort of price range am I looking at? Because they vary from(just checked) £30-£500-£800. :)
--- Quote ---X-Fi soundcard = well known soundcard, if i`d give example, Orchestra A(regular Orchestra) only has 10 different types of instruments playing with a decent stadium while Orchestra B(X-Fi) has 50 different types of instruments playing with a super stadium. X-Fi Wiki

I do photography as a hobby at the moment and was looking to go professional. Do you reccomend anything that might help with my uploading and editing?
Thanks again.

I'm sorry come again?

I assumed you were going to overclock your 2500k (why else would one get a 2500k?), and I strongly advise against using the heatsink/fan that comes with it

It will also take the i7 series of cpu's, up to 14 TB in HD's and if I run a 64 bit OS, I can install the other 4GB of ram I have sitting safe in my drawer.
So why don't I have it set up that way? Because I don't need that much right now.

You're using a dead socket (1156).
It can take Nehalem i7s but not Sandy Bridge i7s.

Win7 64bit took 32gb on me with some other programs sharing the SSD, like EASEUS, MSN, Yahoo, etc. including Virtual memory(i allocated 4gb VM with having 4gb of ram totaling of 8gb)
i`d buy me a ATI HD6950 if i had the money, i`ve always wanted one, seriously wanted one.
photography huh.... i forgot that program thats for professional photo editing is called but you should be able to find it in google. you`d need a good camera and a nice printer for photography
have you considered 3D photography? tho its only viable with Nvidia's 3D vision kit and of course the videocard.3D-Vision ==> 3D-Vision Pro -OR- 3D-Vision Home User(gamer). with Pro, you`d need a quadro GPU, which is 4x-10x more expensive so i dont think you`d want that and Quadro GPUs arent good with games.
Note: you could use your GTX 5xx something as an alternate 3D-Vision Pro, you just need to follow the instructions with the Pro version and use the gpu as an alternate, the only problem for that is it wouldnt be as snappy than a Quadro(meaning it`ll lag from time to time, but quality wise, it`ll be the same)

I reckon it's around the 20-30GB range with everything installed and setting a ridiculous huge portion of it as a page file. That's 32bit. 64 is probably another 5?
Aftermarket cooler... I believe someone is recommending you upgrade the fans in your comp or consider water cooling.
