[tamzzy]

you should buy the optical drive today (or at the latest before monday morning) cuz its on weekend offer only. you get free shipping anyway, so it wouldnt harm your wallet to get the parts one by one.

a bit over, but yes you can overclock with that mobo and that cpu...
that mobo on ivy-bridge is not brilliant, you probably should contact ocUK to make sure it would be compatible with ivy.

and 2 gig gpu would mean you can play most latest games on ultra.. with 1 gb you really would struggle in bf3, my gpu eats up 1.7gb of VRAM in bf3.

 

[tamzzy]

that mobo wouldnt fit the case anyhows

 

[roger_37]

so stulid, you think post 11-12 is the best bang for buck.

 

[areksnumbr1sxylady]

ty, changed the case

Firefly setup is best then... if you decide to go for idlemans you might as well look into mine because for 50 more pounds mine is a proper gaming rig with overclocking options.
