Hey all,
I'm planning a new build based around a Asus Crosshair V Formula AMD 990FX, I'm going to go for the AMD Phenom II X6 Six Core 1100T.

I basically need a bit of advice as to best RAM to pick for the Mobo/CPU and graphics card.

I'm upgrading and have a Artic Cooler Rev - is this fine if i overclock the cpu?

Anyone confirm ATI Radeon 6950 2048MB is a good choice?

Im just looking to confirm this or suggest alternatives before buying.

I game a lot. Also am a networking student so run multilple virtual client/server set-ups at once. As well as testing programs written also on a virtual. Sometimes i can be running 2 virtual servers + 4 clients and my current system struggles.

Hope you can advise mainly on RAM selection and if the cooler will allow sufficient clearance with 4 full Ram slots.

Thanks
 
Yea looks good need 8 Gb RAM though. What about graphics card as i have the 6950 in my build at the minute but could sell it in a flash??

Thanks your convincing me.
 
Thanks job done its in basket, my laptops i3 vaio 8Gb and happy with that.

What kind of stable overclock can be reached with this CPU/Mobo i see figures above 4.5Ghz and above. I tend to take this with a pinch of salt.

Can you offer realistic figures?
