I would rather buy a kit if possible, sub £300
I need socket 775 x1, ati x1950 x1, northbridge cooling (think this is an extra zalman do one) possibly hard disk cooling ? not sure if its worth it for that ?
Should i buy a swift kit for £250 or an external one such as a zalman reserator ?
I plan to overclock, im happy with 2.8ghz on my e6300 (it can do 3.1 stable) and when i upgrade to quad core ill be happy with 3ghz.
I also plan to upgrade to a 3870 pro, will i need to change blocks or will the x1950 block work with it ?
what puts me off the reserators is that they have fancy dials and red led's, which is quite offputting when your trying to sleep in the same room as a pc thats running utorrent and BOINC 24/7
thanks
