oem cpu + antec kuhler 620 to allow oc to 4.8ghz?
photoscubaman do you have a case to put that in as you'll be giving it to your father?
Why? why waste money when its only to see him through and it will end up in his dads PC?
wouldn't it 'work' faster at 4.8ghz?
and oem + the antec kuhler is only £17 more than getting the retail, or if thats too much then why not oem + gelid tranquilo? will allow hime to oc it to 4.6ghz, and for his dad it'll keep the cpu cooler/quiter then the stock cooler and cost same as the retail version.

if we can keep under £500 could be an option

you're the expert on what that board can/can't do not me 
as I said if the antec kuhler idea is too much go the gelid tranquilo as it'll cost about the same(well £2 more) as the retail and give better cooling, be quiter and allow him to oc it to 4.6ghz for his use then either set to stock or 4ghz for his dad.

And more expensive, why is everything you suggest more expensive?
Got one here, noisy as hell.

still within the under £500
if I'd suggested say http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=CA-057-CS&groupid=701&catid=7&subcat= then you could complain
sorry if the master of ocuk specing universe doesn't like being suggested alternatives

think id rather spend on the contents than the case, a simple one will suffice nicely.
we are competting with a 5 year old aldi special!

are there any additional things needed?

sounds like a great plan, thanks for your help. No doubt things will change again but even if they do the oldman will get something nice for christmas.
ps dont you sleep you were on here 10am this morning!

I was up earlier than that
Just a bit of advice, save more money, if a SR-2 and 56** XEONS cost that much, imagine what a SR-3 and SB based XEONS might cost? also the water cooling gets more complex and expensive as you need two CPU heads etc.

thats what im thinking, If i can save another £1000 i might just be able to build it.
the main problem with the x79 build was the lack of ram options using 8gb sticks.
buying some time probebly is the right thing to do however hard!
