hi all i am just about to finish off my order but would like an extra opinion and maybe some extra things to add to my basket if im missing anything, this is my first time building a system from scratch.

1. Asrock Z68 Extreme7 Gen3 Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard

2. Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6950 "Dual Fan Edition" 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

3. Intel Core i5-2500K 3.30GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail

4. Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual/Quad Channel Kit

5. Cooler Master GX 750W '80 Plus' Power Supply
 
hi again stulid no i dont need 16gb of ram it just works out cheaper than the ripjaws i was looking at but i chose these because they will match the rest of my ststem in colour and cheaper. and thanks for the psu advice (aswell as the case advice) i will change the psu from cm to the XFX Pro 850W Core Edition '80 Plus Bronze' Power Supply
am i missing anything else?.... i dont think a cpu cooler will go a miss but i get confused with sizes fitting over the ram etc and also like i said i dont need 16gb ram what did you have in mind.
 
i have optical drives and hdd's from my current ddr2 system but i wouldnt mind an ssd but im not looking to spend stupid amounts on one i will only need to put an os and bf3 on it and i will add an antec kuhler 620 to my list anything else?

ha funny ;)

Orrrr he could be talking about the pointy plastic, cheapo nasty part ontop of the modules that are supposed to look cool and dissipate heat.

thanks for clearing that up for me
 
ok so my basket so far is:
note - still debating on the iceq gpu

well like i say im not too sure yet i havent made up my mind on the gpu the cards are very similar but the daul fan looks much better and appears to me that it has better cooling as well but if i go with the iceq i get about 60 golden nuggets back

EDIT - mabe not the iceq has better cooling lol
 
ok i think you made your point 6950 ice q it is lol
this may sound stupid but i have an asus geforce 9600gt in my current system, will i be able to use this card in my new system dedicated to physx or will it conflict against the new gpu?
 
ahh i see :(
so now i have replaced the dual fan to the iceq along with the rest of the system what settings on bf3 you recon the system can handle?... unfortunately i dont have the budget to play it on ultra but high settings is what im aiming for
 
ok i see, well i think im just about ready to order now unless there is anything else i will need or anything you can suggest?
good thing you are always patrolling the forums aswell i mite need your expertise on overclocking the system ;) lol
 
ok well thank you for your help mate i will upload the build log once it gets here so you can see it in action and i will give you a shout if you can help me oc ;)
cheers again mate
