Do you mean the VENOM CPU cooler is needed for overclocking ?

It will help keep the temperatures down, the stock intel heatsink will be designed for a Standard system.

I changed the ram, as the GEIL offer ends soon.

maybe demand another pint for an overclock?

lets be honest, it will be so fast at stock, does it need it?

Looks good! I'm unsure of keyboard, but its subjective

squidge4 · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:48

looking to use the xbox controller rather than the keyboard what do you think?

stulid · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:48

Big case is big!!!!

but will last a lifetime.

squidge4 said:

depending on the game of course!!!

stulid · 16 Jan 2011 at 21:52

The case is a personal choice, but it has a door covering the drive bays, this may come to do your head in!!!

a few more

With a network cable on the list and still thinking about the case.

I didn't know you were looking at cases close to that price range, so added some more above,

with the Lian-li being sexy

and you can pick up some speakers almost anywhere in town.

Redmint · 16 Jan 2011 at 22:20

Well a case which may seem 'over the top' when you first buy it can be a good investment later on. You may only have 1 SSD + 1 standard HDD at first but over time you'll probably get a few more. Personally I'd go for the HAFX out of the ones Stulid linked, I picked the HAF 922 Window edition back when they were still available and I've been pretty pleased with it.

squidge4 · 16 Jan 2011 at 22:23

what do you think of the antec 900 and 902 any good or im if not thinking of the Coolermaster CM-690 II Lite Dominator Case - Black what you said at the begining.

Redmint · 16 Jan 2011 at 22:26

The CM 690 II Lite is better than the Antec 900/902 in my opinion (although the Antecs are still decent cases, and you're the one who has to live with the case, so pick whichever one you prefer the looks of really). Overclockers still use the 902 in some of their top gaming systems so it's got to be a pretty decent case:

http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/cases/2009/02/25/antec-nine-hundred-two-902-review/1

The Antec is old, the CM690 MKII is cheaper and better.

The HAFX is just HUGE, which is a positive as it will take anything inside.

nightmare isn't it?

squidge4 · 16 Jan 2011 at 22:43

Cooler Master CM 690 II Case it is then. thanks for all the info.
