    Mafia 2, Call of duty Black.., and many more other games need much power to play without lags. But i still dont know how i can fix the loudness of my pc. Actually its horrible. But after i buyed my new gaming rig i think its better. What do you guys use? Watercooled or only aircooled? I just dont know how to make it quiet. Thx alot for answering and sorry for my bad english:D

    @Fritz019 4GB should be enough.

  29. lawlid says:

    @Fritz019 Yes it is possible, good choice and with windows 7 I would recommend 8GB but 4GB works very well! I suppose youre gonna buy DDR3? If thats the case, Corsairs 4x2GB @ 1600MHz @ 9-9-9-24 Latency works really well, you dont need 2.2GHz DDR3 with 1-1-1-3 latency…I’m exaggerating but I think you get my point. I’m using the 1055T btw and it’s a great CPU, just remember to fill up as many RAM slots as possible with a hexacore CPU (6 cores)

    Great video, especially when all of the cards are more or less equally powerfull is when you need to consider also the temperature and heat of the cards and the power compsumption to make your decision.
