Hey guys,

I am moving to core duo at last! My cousin is selling me his system cheap!

6600 core duo
Intel Badaxe 1 (?)
ddr2 PC 5300 kingston ram 2gb (any good?)
Zalman Heatsink
BFG 8800GTS

For £700

Is that worth it? and will i need to change motherboard and ram for better overclocking?

The ram and CPU and GFX are all fine.

the 8800 cards, sure it recomends on web that these alone need 400w

I'd say around 600W if you want to overclock

ok, can anyone recommend any better ram? or will that do the job?

And would i be best off selling that motherboard and getting the asus deluxe?

Im getting the tagan 580watt modular PSU wise
