Hello all!

I am new to overclockers...Great site and prices!

Anyways i wanted personal opinions of what is good or what can be changed in my desired system...

So lets start:::

Mobo- Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD3R Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3
or Asus P6T SE?

CPU- Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail + World In Conflict PC Game

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

VGA- Asus ATI Radeon HD 4870 X2 2GB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

Memory- Corsair XMS3 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 (1600MHz) Tri-Channel

Case- Antec 1200

PSU- OCZ ModXStream Pro 700w Silent SLI Ready ATX2 Modular Power Supply

Hard Drive-Samsung SpinPoint F1 750GB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM

Others----24inch ViewSonic VX2433wm
Razer Lycosa
Razer Lachesis...

Your opinions please!!!!
 
i would just get a 1Tb HDD tbh the 750Gb aint a great price

the antec 1200 is a nice but i would rather buy the coolermaster HAF 932 much quieter and about the same airflow:D more importantly more spacious to work in and cheaper

Thanks for that...will consider Coolermaster case...

About the mobo?

Should i go for Asus P6T SE or Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4?

Oh yeah another question about monitors?

Been looking around OcUk for monitors and stopped between a few choices...

Samsung SM2333HD - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-105-SA&groupid=17&catid=1425&subcat=

Samsung T240HD - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-104-SA&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=

ViewSonic vx2433wm - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MO-072-VS&groupid=17&catid=510&subcat=


I am mostly looking for a freeview with TV...Also to plug in my PS2 and maybe later Xbox360...

Please suggest something else if you like but make some opinions about these especially the 2 samsungs i mentioned...

Thanks a lot for the warm welcome!!!:D


P.S any ideas when 5870 cards will come out or the GTx 300 series :p
 
I'd personally get the SM2333HD if you want to use it for a lot of TV. Having seen it in person it's a very good combi unit, combines the general operation of their larger TVs with a good quality monitor.

Well ok...but will this monitor be good for gaming?
