Just bought this setup from ocuk.. what do you think ?

[MINUS12]

I decided to build a futureproof setup ready for crysis and other dx10 games like alan wake, i just hope i made the right choice of components

I will want to use the system for 1080p hd viewing and 1080 gaming and noob ocing. When i recently read that crysis was running on 2 8800 ultras ,4 gigs of ram,extreme quad cpu to max out the settings on crysis, this is what inspired me to buy this setup

I think next year we will see more use made of directx10, and i think we will need cutting edge hardware to enjoy these games at their full potential


Heres what i bought :


OCZ 2GB (2 x 1GB) PC2-8500 1066MHz SLI-Ready Edition Dual Channel DDR2 (OCZ2N1066SR2GK) 1 £99.99 (£117.49)

Asus Blitz Formula Special Edition Intel P35 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard 1 £149.99 (£176.24)

Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 "LGA775 Conroe" 3.00GHz (1333FSB) - Retail 1 £151.99 (£178.59)

Samsung SM-245B 24" Widescreen LCD Monitor - Black 1 £274.99 (£323.11)


Asus GeForce 8800 Ultra HTDP 768MB GDDR3 HDTV/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail 1 £349.99 (£411.24)

Asus Arctic Square CPU Cooler (Socket 754/939/940/AM2/LGA775) 1 £32.99 (£38.76)


Do you recon i will get a hasslefree decent overclock from this setup


Ta folks

Would i have got a lot better performance from a quad core

I suppose i can always buy another 2 gigs of ram, and originally i was going to buy a 8800 gtx but not all the gtxs can overclock to ultra speeds.

Also wouldnt i be able to overclock this ultra even further

Its called impulsive shopping

Anyway i aprecciate your various thoughts and comments and dont regret buying this setup, i could always pretend i had a quad core setup

I wonder how much extra performance will be gained from games optimised for quad core in comparison to dual core setups

Quote:
"Most GTX's would clock to Ultra Speeds and above, there aren't many that I haven't seen clocked to that, and all will come close to it"

So basically an 8800 ultra is a oced gtx
