Have i got that right?. Do i need anything else such as raid or other stuff?. This is the reason why i dont build my self as i dont no if im getting every part i need.

 

[skipper847]

I would also want overclockers to build so how much is that on top?.

 

[stulid]

The HDD is really expensive, a Samsung F3/Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 are as fast.

Its missing a SSD?

You will have to ask them.

They don't do custom builds...the best you could do is use the options to upgrade/change the parts with the rebuild system...

 

[stulid]

They do custom builds

we could probably spec something up for you as a custom build but you would be better building yourself as you have gained a lot of experience and your testing is superb

There is no raid but do you raly need raid?

 

[stulid]

You dont need RAID, is there a Crucial M4 64GB option? I think you should select that instead.

Yes it does you mean the SSD?.

Its now having the guts to press the buy button.

 

[stulid]

I do indeed mean the SSD, my reasons are,

Which might explain all the BSOD reported. but it also could just be dodgy ATI drivers,

is a Corsair TX 750W V2 Power Supply good enougth or shal i get a bigger one incase i want to upfrade the graphics card or anything later on?

 

[stulid]

That is more than enough.

 

[olivier renault]

It will do Xfire 6950 or take any single cards.

 

[skipper847]

Thanks for the responses back

On the configure your self there is 5 stages of overclocking. I no that 3.40ghz is quite enougth but how much more if i just ticked stage 2 overclocking?. Or shal i save my self £25 and have it with out overclocked?.

Sorry for all the ?????? hehe

 

[stulid]

Save the £25, 15% extra only takes it too 3.9GHZ, you can do better than that with zero experience and just by setting the multiplier to 40X to give 100MHZX40 = 4.0GHZ

But the BIOS has a pick your own overclock setting from 4.2GHZ-4.8GHZ

 

[skipper847]

thanks...

Another?.

Is it better to get the Corsair Hydro H80 High Performance Liquid CPU Cooler or get the H60?. Will there be much difference?.

Also im choosing Corsair XMS3 8GB 1600MHz CAS9 Memory Kit

Again sorry for all the ???.
