Hi guys

Well iv changed my mind from going to AMD 6x and now going to be buying the following but would like to know if you would change anything ?

CPU 2500k Upon Release
Motherboard / http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-432-AS

RAM / http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-295-CS

PSU / http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-018-CS

Case / http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-203-CM

Cooling / http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-003-CS

Will the H70 Water Cooling fit to the type of Motherboard and will everything else go together well for overclocking ?

I'm not sure if the 1155 socket has been released as of yet
for the h70. but the Titan fenrir evo is also very good.

what graphics card you going to use?

Are you taking a grpahics card across from an old system?
Personally i would get The Geil 8GB for 30 pounds less. Then look what else you can get or improve

Im not sure on the cooling question im afraid

just checked fits same as the 1156 settings but will might need a wriggle. what is overall budget?
the case is a personal choice.

Budget is around £800 i have graphics, hdd and dvd drive so they are not needed in the specs.

do you need 750 watt psu? plan to crossfire?

sas30uk · 7 Jan 2011 at 18:35

No plans to xfire as of yet, do you think a smaller PSU will be suffice ?

Greavesy · 7 Jan 2011 at 18:39

A smaller psu would suffice likethe 650w, If you have the money and have any thoughts of xfire then id just stick with the 750w. Good first choice anyway

Thanks

Iv just ordered my 2500k now so no going back now lol.

I will take your advice and go down to the 650 PSU save a few extra £'s

skylineboy · 7 Jan 2011 at 20:14

I would suggest an antec true power 650 if they're still a decent price
