Hi, i have decided on my spec but i need a computer builder to build it for me as i dont think i could.
i assumed overclockers would build it for me but i have been told they want and only will make slight adjustments to they're computers.

not sure if this is allowed but can someone list a few computer builders.
private message me if prefered.

Hi, what about if I bought one of the overclocked bundles and put the rest of the computer together myself. Would it be easy or not?

Ok so after much thought I have decided to build it myself from scratch.

Ok so after I have built it and if everything goes well. What software can I use to check every component works well. A stress test?

I'm not going to overclock straight away I'm going to leave it a few weeks to make sure everything is working correctly.

Ok thanks for the advice.

One last thing can anyone confirm that my spec will fit in the FT02 case?
Particularly concerned about the silver arrow CPU cooler as it is quite large.

ok im reading a few threads about RAM.

i was going to get Corsair XMS3 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 PC3-12800C9 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit but upon reading a thread link below.

"I thought sb only took 1.5 on the vdimm, xms3 is 1.65v at 1600"

this worrys me a little.
is this RAM ok for SB 2500K?
