Hi, I’m currently looking to upgrade my system a wee bit £300-450 budget. The main reason being slight instability (freezes every so often) the main culprit is my striker extreme II and OCZ memory.
Also recently I’ve been looking at overclocking the system but I’m finding it difficult to get it stable (it’s not even stable at set timings).
So my remedy is:
Intel Core 2 Quad Q9650
Corsair XMS3 DHX 4GB DDR3 1600C9DHX
and maybe Coolermaster V10 (not sure if it will fit over the Corsairs)
So guys what’s your opinion?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Current spec:
Intel X6800
Striker II extreme
4GB OCZ DDR3 PC3-12800 Platinum EB XTC (7-6-6) Dual Channel kit
XFX GeForce 8800 Ultra
Western Digital Raptor X 150GB HDD
Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 750GB
Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II
720W Enermax Infinity EIN720AWT
LG L246WP-BN 24-inch
Zalman GT1000 Z-Machine
