hi
im buying the following items from overclockers main webpage
i7 920 2.6 cpu
Asus Rampage III Gene Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 microATX Motherboard

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 5750 Vapor-X 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card

OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C10 (2000MHz) Dual Channel Kit (OCZ3G2000LV4GK)

Samsung EcoGreen F2 1.5TB SATA-II 32MB Cache - OEM (HD154UI)

OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply

Samsung SH-B083L/BSBP 8x BluRay ROM / 16x DVD±RW Drive - Black (OEM)
NZXT Gamma Mid-Tower Case - Black

would anyone recommend any changes or would i have a compatibility problem
thanks
 
Do you have a harddrive to use as your main drive other than the eco? It runs at 5400rpm which is a bit sluggish for a boot drive. If its just extra storage for the usual pr0n and films it'll be fine.
 
further to RJCs comment, i would avoid OCZ gold completely as there seems to be quite a few reliability/Quality control issues with those sticks
 
thanks a lot everyone

i was going to use it as a main hard drive
would any of these be any better

Seagate Barracuda 7200.11 1.5TB SATA-II 32MB Cache

Samsung SpinPoint F3 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache
- Capacity: 1TB
- Cache: 32MB
- Interface: SATA-II
- Spin Speed: 7200RPM
- Seek Time: 8.9ms
and about the ram would it be better to get a triple channel
OCZ Gold 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C10 (2000MHz)
than a Corsair XMS3, DDR3 PC3-12800 (1600)

and last thing about the psu is it relay that bad i not going to do any series oc and no extra graphic card
thank you
 
My personal choice would be the Samsung, use one as my backup drive media center.

On the memory 1600mhz should be enough for 4ghz, I run the Patriot Viper @ 1600mhz and my i7 at 4ghz.

don't forget ideally you need triple channel memory.
