What do you think of this?

 

[martrimo]

Is there anything else i could do but keeping the budget at £630 to the max or lower ?

 

[bremen1874]

No obvious problems (assuming you have the missing parts). What do you want to know?

 

[martrimo]

Yeah i have a 500gb hd and dvd/rw keyboard etc

 

[martrimo]

Oh yeah and how much different is the artic silver 5 and the compound that comes with the cpu cooler?

 

[arekgreenman888]

z77 ud3h is way better as you have more room to expand in future... sli/xfire...

How much is it because i'm already sort of over budget?

 

[bremen1874]

I assume he means the Z77X-UD3H because AFAIK there isn't a Z77-UD3H, and it's about £50 more.

There are other Gigabyte Z77 boards with SLI/Xfire support that are nearer in cost to the Z77-D3H if it’s a feature you’re interested in.

If you aren’t interested in SLI/Xfire then the Z77-D3H is a perfectly good choice.

 

[martrimo]

I'm not going to but just in case is there any other cheaper boards with the function?

 

[martrimo]

Also whats the difference in the thermal compound i have chosen and the one that comes with the cooler, roughly how many degrees different

 

[nick.lidgett]

all that nice stuff and you cheap out on the ram?

Do you recommend anything because i'm on a budget and can't go past £630

 

[martrimo]

Never mobo didn't support

 

[nick.lidgett]

not with OCUK unfortunately if you want the best prices you need to shop around, if i was on a budget like yours i would be scouring the globe, get some bits from here, some bits from there etc, i love OCUK and have bought all my stuff from them apart from my case but it is a well known fact they are not the cheapest for everything.

Try these, as it'll give you more clearance under the CPU cooler you've chosen: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-114-GL

The ram you've linked to is a very good price, especially as it's a high speed ram, you'd need to check ram clearance height first though if you really want them?

I'd keep the supplied TIM from the cooler and ditch the AS5, saves a few quid and probably nothing in it temps wise

 

[martrimo]

ah okay cheers

How is that cpu cooler?

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-133-GL&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=1517

How good? Good enough for a stable overclock, its a better version of the 120 which is roughly equal the Matterhorn Pure
