I7 Rig set up help

[doggles]

hey

Could anyone give me some ideas about the best way to set up a i7 rig.

I was thinking of getting

Product Name Qty Price Line Total
Corsair Dominator GT 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-16000C8 (2000MHz) Tri-Channel With Airflow Fan (TR3X6G2000C8GTF) £236.99
(£206.08) £236.99
(£206.08)
Intel Core i7 920 D0 Stepping (SLBEJ) 2.66Ghz (Nehalem) (Socket LGA1366) - Retail + World In Conflict PC Game £215.99
(£187.82) £215.99
(£187.82)
Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 Intel X58 (Socket 1366) PCI-Express DDR3 Motherboard £207.99
(£180.86) £207.99
(£180.86)



would these all work well with each other, or anyother ideas?

Those will work, but you're prob better off using 12800 Ram as I believe the performance boost isn't much, and it's a lot cheaper.

As Sharlaw said get cheaper RAM as that Dominator kit is excessively expensive. You could also look at getting the 4GHz bundle as that's already OC'ed for you.

 

[Venares]

As above, that Dominator GT is overkill.
Get the Patriot Viper instead.
With a good 3rd party heatsink that setup will easily do 4Ghz+.

cheers, is the mother board ok? or can you recomend a diff/better one?

That's a cracking mobo

looks like you going to build a nice computer there

1+ for the Dominator GT being overkill
