Hello everyone,
First of all, this is my first time building a custom pc, so please forgive me if I did something stupid or noobish.
I'd wish to build my first cpu dedicated to hash cracking, at the moment my plan is just to play with a single 970 card, in the future I could upgrade to 2x 980 cards.
After reading several setups, I wrote down this configuration, what do you think about it?
CPU: Intel Core i5-6400 2.7GHz Quad-Core Processor
Motherboard: Asus H170-PRO ATX LGA1151 Motherboard
Memory: Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR4-2133 Memory
Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive
Video Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 970 4GB Video Card
Case: Corsair 100R ATX Mid Tower Case
Power Supply: Corsair VS 550W ATX Power Supply
Finally a little note about reference video cards: here in Europe is almost impossible to find a reference design 970/980 card, what could you suggest? Do you know any non-reference design that is still good enough?
