Hi, Going to order next week and want a few opinion and recomendation
I am new (noob) to overclocking and plan to learn how to with this forum, so far I read that opty is the best for overclocking and is causing quiet a stir around here. I am planning to build a gaming PC, I usually leave my PC on for long hours 24/7
But here what I have in mind:
CP-151-AM AMD Opteron UP 165 Dual Core San Diego 1.8GHz 2MB Cache (Socket 939) - Retail (CP-151-AM) 1
£224.95 £224.95
MB-131-AS Asus A8R32-MVP Deluxe Crossfire (Socket 939) PCI-Express Motherboard (MB-131-AS) 1
£124.95 £124.95
MY-094-CS Corsair 2GB DDR XMS4000PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS3 (MY-094-CS) 1
£124.95 £124.95
GX-048-HT HIS Excalibur ATI Radeon X1900 XT 512MB GDDR3 AVIVO TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail (GX-048-HT) 1
£279.95 £279.95
HD-015-WD Western Digital Raptor 74GB WD740GD 10,000RPM SATA 8MB Cache - OEM (HD-015-WD) 1
£93.95 £93.95
CD-026-NE NEC ND4551 16x16 DVD±RW Dual Layer LabelFlash ReWriter (Black) - OEM (CD-026-NE) 1
£27.95 £27.95
CA-005-TT Thermaltake VA9000BWS Kandalf Full Tower - Black (CA-005-TT) 1
£99.95 £99.95
WC-014-SW Swiftech H20-220 Apex "Ultra" Watercooling Kit (Socket 462/478/LGA775/754/939/940) (WC-014-SW) 1
£128.95 £128.95
CA-008-TG Tagan TG530-U15 530W ATX2.01 Easycon SLi Compliant Modular Silent PSU (CA-008-TG) 1
£59.95 £59.95
MO-022-SA Samsung SM-913N 19" LCD Monitor - Silver (MO-022-SA) 1
£159.95 £159.95
HD-046-WD Western Digital Caviar SE16 250GB 2500KS SATA-II 16MB Cache - OEM (HD-046-WD) 1
£59.95 £59.95
Subtotal £1,385.45
VAT £242.46
Total £1,627.91
So far I am still usure about the RAM, Mobo, GFX card and PSU (nearly the whole lot)
For the RAM I have alternative option to either go for
Corsair 2GB DDR XMS3200C2PT TwinX (2x1GB) CAS2 (MY-079-CS) £140.94 Including VAT this week deal (note: I not sure what the timing bit is about, but will learn over the weekend) any other recomendation?
Mobo I heard DFI is good but heard it doesn't like Corsairs...
GFX, I guess the other brand is the same thing (connnect3D, HIS, Powercolour) all roughly same price
Noise is not an issue for me, and I dont mind if you change the whole PC specs again
