What do you guys think?

Should I go for this on my next build?
I left out all this week's deal products since I will probably be buying in the next week or two.

Is a £300 MB really needed? Just seems like wasting money to me unless you really need any of the features.

Hard to answer... suppose it depends what you want the rig for. High end mobo so you're most likely looking to do some OCing, and that PSU should do for that, and that graphics card should do all modern games at top settings (unless you want 3 way hi-res eyefinity... in which case slightly more oomph might help).

If you're not OCing.. as previous poster said, no need for that hi-spec a mobo.

Well it will be overclocked definately, I want to get the i7 930 as high as I can get it, if you can find a cheaper mobo with the equal or better stability then be my guest.

I've currently got a 5850 so I'm looking to step up the game

Most likely will sell my current build first.

Anewbe4u · 26 Aug 2010 at 15:44

Well, maybe if you find a cheaper MB you could upgrade the graphics? Maybe a 480?

JonKLJ · 26 Aug 2010 at 15:46

how much do ya want for your current rig mate?

vectisitch · 26 Aug 2010 at 15:47

if you want to get the i7 as high as you can then the h50 won't cut it.you'll need watercooled really

Change the following
Mobo: Asus P6X58D-E
Graphics card: GTX 480
and don't get that ssd its an older model and the vertex 2 is a lot faster get the CZ Vertex Limited Edition 100GB

A 480 is a choice, since I could use CUDA, but the 5850/5870 cards are really great to me I think.

I might be looking to sell it for £870 or so.

Well I'm sure it can reach 4Ghz on the H50 so I would be happy with that anyway.

vectisitch · 26 Aug 2010 at 15:59

yep,4ghz with the h50 is ok.but higher it starts to get hot

OK I'll change the mobo,
I'm looking into the 480 and I don't really mind, the Vertex 2 is a lot more ££ if the Vertex 1 can still give me a snappy OS I don't mind

JonKLJ · 26 Aug 2010 at 16:00

could you email me all the parts that are in your rig mate, might look into that dude [email protected] cheers

sandeep · 26 Aug 2010 at 16:30

OK so this looks to be the build I'll be getting in a few weeks then
