I am building a new pc next week. Here is my part list and some of my concerns. I have looked on the internet and haven't found the answers as of yet. Intel i7 2600k Gigabyte P67A-UD5 Kingston DDR 2000 8GB Gigabyte 6970 Corsair 128GB SSD Sata III WD 1TB Sata III Samsung Blueray/DVD P183 V3 Antec cp 850 Will i need additional cooling? Will the 6970 card fit into the case without removing the drive bay? If the drive bay does have to be removed can I still mount the SSD? Thanks!
Well the HD 6970's dimensions are 28.7 x 11.12 x 3.81, so it should fit in your case. (Contact Antec to be more sure.) Noctua NH-D14 would be a perfect CPU fan and heatsink. I see that you went with SATA3 WD, from what i know, SATA3 is useless with only one HDD, unless you get a pair of those, they wont give you the speed you think you'll get. If im wrong, please correct me, but i think that going with a pair of 500GB drives or a pair of 1TB drives on a RAID 0, would be much faster than 1 SATA3 6GB ..
Do you think im convinced? please tell me why am wrong, to know the right thing is good and helps in the future, and im willing to know the reasons
Obviously i was talking about the speed difference between One SATA 6Gb/s and Two SATA 3Gb/s set in RAID 0, according to what i said/meant, the conclusion was that two sata3 in raid0 perform faster than one sata6 hdd. Hence there's no use of paying extra cash on sata6 unless you get a pair of them, and i didn't mention SATA1.5 whatsoever. SATA6 is a touch faster, but it's nearly 20-30% more expensive. It's not worth the added cost, and technically, those specs are possibilities. If you were to correct me, talk about the two SATA's i mentioned, not the 1.5 that i haven't ever mentioned. Im not saying im right, just be reasonable when you're saying im wrong and proof it.
Well, he listed WD 1TB Sata III, from what i know, SATA I = 1.5Gb/s, SATA II = 3Gb/s, and SATA III = 6Gb/s. (I = 1 in roman numerals, and stands for the revision number or generation of SATA controller) Wiki is a great informative.
