Is this gaming pc "good" enough?

[rob9876]

Hi all,

I am in the market for a new PC. I would like to get a gaming PC, but I have close to 0 technical knowledge of how computer's and their components work, so obviously I wont build it myself. Here are the following components in the Gaming PC I plan to order from CyberpowerPC. Are these components "future proof?" Maybe for the next 4 or 5 or 6 years, in terms of being able to handle the latest games?

CASE: NZXT Beta Gaming Mid-Tower Case

PSU: 700 watts

CASE FAN: Maximum Enemax 120MM Case Cooling Fans

CPU: Intel® Core™ i7-950 3.06 GHz 8M L3 Cache LGA1366

COOLING FAN: Asetek Liquid CPU Cooling System (Extreme Cooling Performance + Extreme Silent at 20dBA)

MOTHERBOARD: Asus P6T Intel X58 Chipset SLI/CrossFireX Mainboard Triple-Channel DDR3/1600 SATA RAID w/ eSATA, GbLAN, USB2.0, IEEE1394a, &7.1Audio

MEMORY: 12GB (2GBx6) DDR3/1600MHz Triple Channel Memory Module

GPU: 2X ATI Radeon HD 4890 1GB DDR5 PCI-Express Dual DVI-I & TVO

HARD DRIVE: 1TB (1TBx1) SATA-II 3.0Gb/s 16MB Cache 7200RPM HDD

SOUND CARD: Creative Labs SB X-Fi Xtreme Audio 24-BIT PCI Sound Card

OS: Windows 7

In addition to my above questions, is this computer a good fit with itself? For example, are there certain parts I have that for some reason wouldn't work together or would hinder performance because they don't match well? Also, are the cooling fans/heat sinks or whatever good enough, or do I need better ones? Also, what is a data hard drive and should I get one too?

Thanks for all your help!

it should be able to keep up for 4 years before you need to upgrade it, that's 4 years to read up on how to add components to your computer.

Computers are like an easy puzzle, though, as everything fits in in ONE way only.

In your case, I would choose to get a larger power supply, more like 800-850 watts to make absolutely sure that the 2 GPUs get enough juice. If money allows for it, you could get a 1 kW PSU. Too much is better than too little. Also make sure that the PSU is not from some noname brand, that can literally mean a slow death for your hardware

Both GPUs along with the watercooling system take a lot. The other reason for the larger PSU is future expansion.

another thing is the 1 TB harddrive. I never recommend having a harddrive that large by itself. If possible, you should get a 300-500 GB drive for OS and programs, while having the 1 TB drive for storage.

This is good enough configuration for gaming but get best power supply unit for this configuration get more than 700 watts psu ant that is with good brand like cooler master.
