A question for Stulid

[Chuggerboom]

I'm going to be upgrading to Sandy Bridge very soon

I'm thinking of getting these:




What do you think of my choice, or could i do better for my money?

I have recently bought the Crucial M4 and two Sapphire 5850 Xtreme's from a previous recommendation from you.

I also need advice on a psu to power them. At the moment i have a Corsair HX 620.

Cheers in advance.

change RAM to this because its cheaper and will not be in the way of any coolers you use:

spend some of the money you have saved from the RAM on the cooler by changing it to this:

its the best air cooler there is

as for the PSU, what graphics cards are you planning on using, because the corsair may be just fine

ps, sorry its not stulid, but im not bad when it comes to speccing computers.

I have recently bought 2 Sapphire 5850 Xtreme's from here.

I'm not sure if my Corsair HX 620 will handle them hence my post.

if youve got overclocked 5850's then a 620W PSU is pushing it a bit. anandtech says the entire system will use ~550W at stock clocks under load:

*edit*
this PSU will be more than enough. its really efficient too (80+ gold rating)

£109.99 on a 700W PSU? Overkill IMHO.

I'd go this, this or this.

You're practically just paying another £30-£40 for a gold sticker otherwise whereas any of the above would more than suffice.

I was thinking of getting an XFX 850 black edition?
