I would change the mobo from the Striker and save some coin, and buy either the EVGA or the BGF 680. I would stick with the Zalman CNPS9700, it does the job very well imo.

I would also get the Corsair 620w PSU, its one of the best out there at the moment.

Do you not need a keyboard, mouse, or monitor, Speakers, or even a Soundcard?

the stiker is ace like i said ive had no probs with it amazingly easy to overclock as for ram look for ocz, corsair and team x-treme as for power supply i wudnt really no i have the enermax galaxy very good, keeps the system fairly cool aswell

also the features on the mobo are amazing has a lcd on the mobo tellng you whats wrong if anything goes wrong, also it has a very fancy heatpipe and looks the part

I have the OCZ Platinum 2. It does about 450MHz (900 DDR) so not really clocking RAM compared to Micron chip based sticks.

PAULRYAN52 · 1 Mar 2007 at 12:53

im gonna need help pickin ram i dont know what the timing mean

BaDBoY16 · 1 Mar 2007 at 12:55

look for ram with low latency, the lower the latency the faster the ram can perform, also to overclock but generally speaking the lower the latency the higher the price note :eek:

melbourne720 · 1 Mar 2007 at 12:57

low latency doesn't have much real world impact on C2D systems, but it does mean when you push out the timings you can raise the memory clock speed more
