Hi Guys,

Another rig to build, anyone see anything wrong with the following, its mainly gonna be used for Flight Sim X, already has all other components just want to up the CPU/Ram etc:

Mobo: Asus P8H67-M PRO Intel H67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 MicroATX Motherboard

Processor: Intel Core i3-2100 3.10GHz (Sandybridge)

Ram: Corsair Vengeance Blue 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9

Any advice is much appreciated, im assuming this will OC well also?

Thanks.

You should never spend that much on a H67 board. The Corsair Vengeance is no faster than anything else so you can save money their.

Something like this would be better:

YOUR BASKET
1 x Intel Core i5-2300 2.80GHz (Sandybridge) Socket LGA1155 Processor - Retail £139.99
1 x MSI H67MA-E35 Intel H67 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Micro-ATX Motherboard - (Sandybridge) **B3 REVISION** £64.99
1 x Kingston HyperX Genesis Grey 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit (KHX1600C9D3X2K2/8GX) £59.99
Total : £276.37 (includes shipping : £9.50).

264.97 with free shipping

Just a little bit more than your original build, but will be much faster.

Better with P67/Z68 chipset for overclocking, surely?

You can't overclock with a non-'K' chip.

Thanks for your answer Jordan, glad you reminded me that only the K processors OC, will maybe have to rethink this.

Thanks again.
