Just ordered thanks to Stulid/cookehs help yesterday.

Is there a problem with that being 4.40ghz any risk of damage/explosions? Ive been told from friends it's very high

Thanks
 
Not sure, already been using it for past year or 2 on my current 9800 GT, really not sure, how can i check without opening the case
 
Well i've found 600W Storm STORM-600W Black Edition, 23dB, 120mm Silent Fan, Black, ATX12V v2.0.

Literally all i can afford. Is that a good quality PSU? And will it do the job? Thanks
 
Indeed. You don't want to go buggering up that nice little setup coming your way due to a cheap PSU. You want solid dependable juice to that rig, especially with that overclock.

Wont cost too much to get something decent.

In fact, check this (must be pricing error)

I could literally just afford that then I'd have no money left to pay someone to build it for me, aha
 
I'm considering ssetting up an eBay and paypal with an attempt to flog some old gear and raise extra money for a psu and a new case perhaps. Can anyone recommend a case for about 50-75
 
I bought the coolermaster elite 335, all I need now is a psu and I'm set. Got the u2 bundle using my current 9800 GT 1gb card going to get it all fitted into the new case with my old optical drive and 500gb hdd. Can anyone tell me if the performance on that would be good? Maybe a wireless card also. If I wanted to build my pc myself to save £40 is it easy/any risk and could I do it within a saturday
