mATX Gaming Rig Spec check

Freelanc3r · 24 Sep 2008 at 18:13

Just need one last final spec check
Will be using a q6700 and probably mildly overclocking it, will also be using vista 64. Will be mainly a gaming rig and the usual stuff (internet, work etc)

Anything that would be better/needs changing?

Cheers

I can't see any problems with any of the hardware there's i few things i that i would change personally but that's just because i prefer to use certain brands over others.

If you have a few extra quid to add on to that i would say go for a logitech g5 laser mouse over the razer.

Unfortunately it was in the last weekly deals and was only £30 but its ended now : (

Good Luck !

Anybody else?

Just need to know if its all alright and compatible, or anything I could improve.

A few things, but nothing that isn't down to my own personal opinion.

For one, I hate Coolermaster cases with a passion. Personally i'd go for something like a Sugo or V350.

Also i'd take a modular PSU in a microATX system as you don't have a lot of room to play with, something like the HX520.

I think the Gigabyte GA-G33M-DS2R is a better board, I had the P5K-VM and it was a nightmare.

Beyond that it's a good build.

I would go for a better case or just get a standard atx motherboard and an antec 300 tbh. No point having the case you have as it wont be much smaller than a mini tower and in my point of view it looks horrible.

If you got for a different matx case i would recommend the lian li v350 i have one for my media centre and it looks beautiful
