Build 1

Riggy · 16 Apr 2010 at 18:09

This is going to be my first build, along with a GTX260 and 550W power supply which I already have.

Any criticism's? I'm hovering over the buy button, you see and if I could get something cheaper with very similar price then, I'll certainly go for it.

When I get my build I will be updating this thread with my progress of my first build.

Maybe go for the i5 750 and a better cooler.

True! I think this cooler:

I would go for a i7 build, its about 10£ more for the cpu, mobo is the same price and so is the ram, for a big improvment i think its well worth it.

Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66GHz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail £179.99

Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard
£156.98

OCZ Obsidian 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600Mhz Triple Channel Kit (OCZ3OB1600LV6GK)
£119.98

And the titan is really a great cooler for just £30

Titan TTC-NK85TZ/V2 Fenrir CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775/LGA1156/LGA1366) £29.99

Scrap what i said about the i5 750 and go with Fallen gods spec, didn't realises there was so little difference in price.
