Hello!

I`m considering buying the components below to build a not to bad gaming system but before I do, I was wondering if these components listed will work with no problems together???

Intel Core 2 Duo E8600 LGA775 'Wolfdale' "Overclocking E0 Stepping" 3.33GHz (1333FSB) - Retail
Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2 Rev2 (Socket 775) PCI-Express/AGP DDR2 Motherboard
Corsair 2GB DDR2 XMS2-6400C4 TwinX (2x1GB)

The only reason why i`m going with the motherboard above is because i`m planning to use my Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3850 512MB GDDR3 AGP card in the system.

One thing that's been bothering me is iv`e herd you can`t overclock ether you Graphics Card or CPU on this motherboard, and i`m wondering if this would be true with my chosen CPU and my current Graphics Card???

Thank you for responding.
 
The thing is, I don`t really want to buy another GPU at the moment as i've only had my Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 3850 for about 2 and a bit months.

I don`t really what to spend any more than £316, as this system is only to last me about six months, and then i`ll be building a high end Intel Core i7 rig.
 
Would the Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2 Motherboard allow me to overclock my AGP card at least??? or is it no, can`t overclock with this board, perod???
 
The only reason why i`m wondering about overclocking on this board, is because in the reviews comments people have left on OcUK, suggests, you can`t even overclock a Graphics Card on this board because the system will become too unstable - the thing is, iv`e not so long just bought a Zalman GV1000 Quad Heatpipe for my AGP card so I can overclock the hell out of it, and i`m not too much bothered about not been able to overclock my CPU, but would really like to be able to overclock the Graphics Card at least.

Unless the problem is only if your using PCIE Graphics Card???

It seem as though i`m too late to get the Asrock 4CoreDual-SATA2 Rev2 from OcUK:(:(

Dear *****,

Thankyou for your webnote

Unfortunatly we will no longer be stocking this item sir, Id advise looking at an alternative as this board is of poor quality.

Regards,
