only 1 year, but if you oc the retail version then the warrenty's void anyway.

If you plan on clocking change the ram, i've heard its not that good for clocking but really really solid at stock.

Look at some ballistix for OCin

he'll get a gd oc with the ram at stock anyway. most 2x2gb kits arn't good clockers, but he probly wants to keep some slots free.

if you don't care about having free ram slots, then just get 4x1gb it's cheaper and better for oc'ing.

I'd say get the ocuk 8800gtx aswell personally.

I know this opens up the whole "2 sticks Vs 4 sticks" thing but £170 seems a lot to spend on memory when: OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-6400C4 Dual Channel Platinum Revision 2 XTC Series DDR2 (OCZ2P800R22GK) is £44.64 (x2 ?)

daveyp · 11 Oct 2007 at 23:46

looks good to me although i would opt for an asus board and ditch the abit.

Hank_Marvin · 11 Oct 2007 at 23:46

ocuk version is 1800mhz compared with 2000mhz and warrenty is better, thats whats kinda sways me. thing is though, ram i chose is fast at stock right? what sort of overclocking am i gonna hav 2 do 2 get another type up to and obove what i chose, will it be hard?

Hank_Marvin · 11 Oct 2007 at 23:47

well i did want asus cuz thats what i've always used, but people suggested the abit.

Hank_Marvin · 11 Oct 2007 at 23:47

and is it good ram mame?
