Support could be a problem with the Abit board as the parent company have quietly announced they are pulling out of the channel completely http://forums.overclockers.co.uk/showthread.php?t=17983450&highlight=abit.

Looking at your memory the Corsair XMS2 PC2-8500C5 TwinX 2 X 2Gb is on "This Week Only" and slightly cheaper (and slightly better imho) than the Kingston - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MY-173-CS&groupid=701&catid=8&subcat=817.

I'm guessing but think a minimum of 500w Power Supply for that rig?

Happy Building

Seen the Corsair and was tempted, but seeing as the boos has to pay for it, I cant count on him getting this buy the time this weeks out.

What would I do about the motherboard, Gigbyte?..have a DS4 but had to grind down my Ninja HS to get it to fit cause of the long life resistors wasnt it?

budget?

cu3ed · 11 Mar 2009 at 19:49

I suppose about 350, but I have to figure out the PSU first off.
