Introduction
Select Computer - a trivial question, especially if it is the most powerful.
main thing - a clear harmonization of all its devices.It is unlikely to buy the right computer in the store, so the process described below to select the appropriate devices for him.
We must start with the processor.Generally accepted most powerful and reliable processor is considered to Intel, AMD until he was a competitor.It is necessary simply to bear in mind that the Intel processor is much more expensive - about 2 times, respectively, and other crawling rates, primarily the motherboard.
processor
So choose Intel Core i7-990X costing about $ 1,000.
Key Features:
¾ socket - LGA1366
¾ Cores - 6
¾ clock speed - 3467MGts
¾ Cache L1 - 64K
¾ Cache L2 - 1536Kb
¾ Cache L3 - 12288Kb
¾ Max.RAM - 24GB
¾ Heat - 130 W
tower cooler with heatpipes.
motherboard (system) board
Mainboard for such a processor must have:
Interface SATA 3.0 and USB 3.0
3 Interface PCI-E-16
CrossFireX system to support up to 4 graphics cards
Supportthree-channel memory interface
acceleration
powerful audio processor
satisfies these requirements
ASUS RampageIII Formula (LGA 1366) Intel X58Express, BIOS0505
Memory (RAM)
When choosing memory must be very careful.RAM capacity of most sets of different manufacturers are about the same.The main thing when choosing a memory - it is fully compatible with the system board (supported frequencies, latency (timing), the supply voltage).The processor supports three channel memory mode - DDR3, so it should be installed three identical memory strip.Recommended memory (RAM)
DDR3 PC3-6400 (DDR3800) / PC3-8500 (DDR31066) with three-channel controller.
video card
Selecting video - this is probably the most crucial and difficult choices.The issue, which will be used by the computer - calculations, work with graphics, installation of various video games.But, as the most powerful computer is needed, it is recommended three options.
Excellent - ASUS ARESRadeonHD5870x2 or ASUSARES.2DIS.4GD5
maximum performance - NVIDIA GTX660Ti - for gamers.
Hard disk drive (HDD)
Standard version with logical partitioning are not suitable, so installed 3 hard disks.The first - the system, the second - and third worker - data storage and archives.In addition, it should store important information in the second disk (copy) and regularly monitor them.
So, as the system disk is installed WD1500AD Raptor-X 150Gb capacity, it stores only the system and installed programs.
as the second and third drive installed two identical disk capacity every 2000Gb - WD WD2001 / FASS CaviarBlack2Tb.
Power Supply Unit (PSU)
PSU must be reliable and sufficiently powerful.According to reference data total power consumption of the above devices around 800W (this peak).
necessary to add 20-30%.
number of connectors must match the number of devices (preferably more than 1-2), including graphics cards.
Recommended PSU Enermax Revolution85 + ERV1250EGT.
housing
housing selected such an extent that it placed all of the devices available.
Important!In case you need to install additional fans - 3-4 pieces, depending on their capacity and design of the selected housing.
