Question new pc for PS2. (i have no idea what i'm doing)


so my old pc is well Old

So to cut a long story short, I decidet du make a new one my self or die trying

I have come to this computer build, and would like to get a little feedback on it

CPU: GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 670 OC (2 GB)
GPU: Intel Core i5 2500K Sandy Bridge
PSU: Corsair Enthusiast Series TX650 V2 (having a hard time, figuring out how to select a CPU )
MOBO: ASRock B75 Pro3 (not sure on this one seems too cheap to me, but i'm short on money so who am I to complain )
Ram: 6DDR3

will this system run ps2, and more important will it run at all?
english isn't my first language but I hope you guys can understand some of it.

Yes I can understand your English .

What country are you from and site do you plan on ordering from? How much are planning on spending?

Going from your current parts the 2500K and B75 motherboard are not a good match. Are you intending to overclock with the 2500K? If so you can only can overclock with a P67, Z67, or Z77 motherboard. If you are not overclocking I would look into the Core i5 3450 and that B75 is a good choice to go with that.

Graphics card and PSU are both good choices.

The system will run PS2 quite well in my opinion.

I'm from Denmark
And I will buy from a dansih side http://www.proshop.dk/
not that familiar with overclocking, only tried it once and after a few minutes I unclocket it in panic, when my screen started to get weird colors :P
and thanks will look at the examples you suggested

But that's not a triple channel board, so 6GB ram is kinda weird. Should be 4gb or 8gb.
the 6GB ddr Is because i'm using the ram from my old pc (the only thing worth using)

Can get 6 more from a friend. Will that make any sense or is it better to use a few ca$h more on 8GB ram ?

A Core 2 system oem with DDR3 memory interesting. Can you look on the ram and see if you have any voltage reading on there? There should be a sticker on it giving you info on the ram. Something like 1.5V or 1.65V.

The chipset does support DDR3 believe it or not.

Thanks for all the help
