here it is so far

thanks

anything you would change?

p.s. dont suggest SSD please

V4nger · 1 Apr 2010 at 22:08

believe me ive put a lot of research and question asking into this spec

V4nger · 1 Apr 2010 at 22:52

ok starting at stulid. yes i probably could stretch a little bit to 1TB. i know the 920 is on offer but i would rather have the improved (i think) 930.

@RJC i really dont want an SSD just yet

i know they offer great performance boosts and ive witnessed the power. it is awesome! but first ill get a solid build and add too it. i dont want to reduce my wattage because i want to xfire in about a year. i reckon 5870s will still be great cards by then. had a look at the UD3R but the feature set of the Asus is what draws me and it looks like a great overclocker for noobs with automatic BIOS reset and things like that. almost on par with the R2E which is a plus. patriot viper wont fit under the Noctua NH-D14 unfortunately.

@stulid again, dont want to drop to 650w. and i dont mind using an adapter.

@David09, i think i will be fine with non OEM plus as i said before i would rather go with the 930 unless someone justifies buying the 920 over the 930 excluding price as a factor.

maybe!

it isnt fully modular though. and its only 80 plus bronze not gold like the corsair.

V4nger · 1 Apr 2010 at 23:16

i have no idea you tell me mate

V4nger · 1 Apr 2010 at 23:21

well im going for the 930 and since im overclocking on air then it is the best choice is it not?

V4nger · 1 Apr 2010 at 23:56

and is that extra multiplier a bonus for overclocking? and general stability?

V4nger · 2 Apr 2010 at 00:09

i think it is better to have the 21x in the first place rather than having to use the turboboost thing

V4nger · 2 Apr 2010 at 12:05

basicly im going for the 930. anything else wrong with this build?

V4nger · 2 Apr 2010 at 12:22

yeah someone else suggested that but i said that the Viper RAM wont fit underneath the Noctua cooler unfortunately because of the tall heatsinks

V4nger · 2 Apr 2010 at 13:33

when i first started speccing up i went for one of them. but they just dont look quality to me. and the extra airflow from the Noctua will be good and it is very very quiet. plus i dont have to install any other fans. im not really worried about the size and im sure the OCZ RAM is great. its had good reviews and it has quite good timings for DDR3.

V4nger · 2 Apr 2010 at 13:54

the H50 or the OCZ RAM?

V4nger · 2 Apr 2010 at 14:15

yeah i gathered that from reviews and other peoples comments on it. there seems to be a croud that insists they have extreme overclocks on it at incredibly low temperatures. seems doubtful to me...

V4nger · 2 Apr 2010 at 15:13

i know the heatsink on the OCZ doesnt look like the greatest but im pretty sure that they do their job effectively. they can do 1800mhz quite easily at 9-9-9-24 going by a couple of reviews ive read.

V4nger · 2 Apr 2010 at 15:22

of course. these modules look really nice though

a lot nicer that the Vipers and the Corsair XMS modules IMO.
