Hi

I will be going to OC on Tuesday for a new system I have set my mind on an i7 but it’s the other bits I am struggling on.

Motherboard
CPU cooler
Ram 6GB
PSU
Video card 295 or 5870

I know there are loads of topics on this but I am not an overclocking expert and just need some help with the above.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

The case I was thinking of the Corsair Obsidian 800d
Monitor Dell 2709W

My Budget for all the system including the above will be £1,700

Thanks’ asoxedri I’m starting to get some ideas it was the motherboard, Ram, CPU that was giving me the problem.

The only thing that worries me is the SS hard drive I have read some bad things about them like they only last for 6 months and with being new tech was a bit worried about it. And how would this drive fit a normal HD bay?

if its gaming forget the 920 and go for the 860 package with the rampage mobo setup.
