Hi people, I want to buy the following PC for gaming : CPU : Intel Quad Core I5 2500K Quad Core 3.3GHZ 1155 6MB + Scythe Mugen 2 MOBO : Gigabyte GA-Z68A-D3-B3 CASE : Lancool Midi Tower PC-K62B POWER : Seasonic PSU 620W Active PFC 80+ Retail RAM : 2 X 2Gb DDR3 - 1333 KINGSTON(SINGLE STICK) I5/AM3 GRAPHIC CARD : SAPPHIRE HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 PCIE DVI HDMI Right now I do NOT intend to OC or add a new graphic card, but in the future, instead of buying new PC, i'll want to add a new graphic card and OC instead. Will this spec work for me in the long term ? Plus, someone told me Gigabyte GA-Z68X-UD3-B3 will be better MOBO for adding a 2nd graphic card. Does it worth the extra 50$ ? Thanks in advance for any comment !!!
It depends; if you plan to add a 2nd graphics card and the MB offers better peroformance then might be worth it else leave it. I think the specs are very good and should run games without issues. As for trying to make it future proof; its very difficult considering how fast technology moves, so even adding a second card in the future won't make too much difference.
