Building a new rig, how is this?

[jayvee151]

How would this system be? If anyone could think of any improvements to it please help, my budget is £1300 for the entire system. I am hoping to overclock to around 3.2 if possible.

Thank you

your using a 3rd party CPU cooler, - save some cash and get the OEM version of the Q6600, also if you are overclocking you void the warranty anyway

get a SATA DVD drive

edit: also most people on hear rave about the Tuniq Tower, and results look good.

but personally I do like the look of the Zalman

take a look at this to see what people are using to get good clocks with:

13 Towers to 1 zalman

I think if i was spending that kind of money, i would want a better monitor, even if it means cutting back on something else.

After looking at your planned system, are you not tempted by this http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=FS-052-OK&groupid=43&catid=1056&subcat=

I agree with mame get a high end brand name monitor like a samsung.

And if you want the best cooler go for the Thermalright Ultra-120 Exreme:- http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=HS-039-TR

If not the Tuniq Tower would do fine.

Both are better than the zalman.
