hi guys
need a spec for 100% gaming machine dont need monitor

do not need massive hard drive or fastest cpu

but would like to have a 8800 gts in the spec

This would be an excellent gaming machine. The 4300 allows you not to overclock and loosen your ram timings. I think its a wiser purchase to the 6300.

I just bought the Asus, OCZ and 4300 and its superb. Sitting here with 3.2 overclock no probs at all!

True, he might have to go a bit over then?

would my sata 120 harddrive work with that motherboard ie its not sata 2
was using it on a 939 amd board

syke · 29 Jan 2007 at 22:06

An Artic Cooling Case + PSU should be alright for a fair clock and cheaper too?

peetee · 29 Jan 2007 at 23:47

yes sata is compatible with sata2

Tombo · 30 Jan 2007 at 00:03

And there is no such thing as SATA2 Drives actually.

peetee · 30 Jan 2007 at 01:23

well there called sata-II, but its not even relevant, yes the drive will work, end of.
