Grangey's i5 760 Gaming HTPC Build

richsmif · 28-12-2011, 11:47 AM

I built a Core i5 as a HTPC with 8GB and OCZ SSD. I put Win 7 on it for the use of media centre and its amazing. the SSD makes the HTPC SOOOO quick. The coverart makes it look so pro!!

Sooooo....

I may have just accidently ordered another GTX460 (honestly, it was actually an accident!)

So, looks like this will be going SLi..

Which unfortunately means I now need to find a new motherboard and PSU..!!

and I may as well do something with the Ram whilst Im at it.

So much for my cheap upgrade idea!

Progress and pictures will of course come in due course!
