Hi guys I was hoping some of you could confirm that all of these components were compatible with each other and that I would be able to overclock the i5 to at least 3.6 ghz?

Antec EarthWatts 650W PSU - 80Plus Certified 12cm Fan 3x 12V Rails

Antec 300 Three Hundred Black Case - No PSU

Intel Core i5 750 2.66GHz Socket LGA1156 8MB L3 Cache Retail Boxed Processor

Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro rev 2 Socket 775, 1156, 1366, AM2, AM3 Heatpipe CPU Cooler

PowerColor HD 5770 1GB GDDR5, Dual DVI HDMI DisplayPort Out PCI-E Graphics Card

Kingston 4GB (2x2GB) DDR3 1600MHz/PC3-12800 HyperX Memory Kit CL9(9-9-9-27)

MSI P55M-GD45 P55 Socket 1156 8 Channel Audio MATX Motherboard


Cheers.
 
you should have no problems with that setup! happy buliding! the only thing i would do is to change the Graphics Card to a diffent maker i have bad things about there rma returns system!
 
Thanks for the fast response mate, gonna give this another hour or two of more research before I purchase. Will keep your advice in mind.
 
exactly what i specced for some1 the other day , comes to about 650 i think ? with HDD and optical drives , you should have no problems getting it to 3.6
 
I waited til the oc bundle was on offer then got that, only worked out an extra £20 or so at the time, and the hassle of getting a stable oc was too much for me.

This arrived last night, after about 5 hours of frustration, I finally built it (it was my first time)

I overclocked it today up to 3.7 ghz which I'm very happy about and this thing absolutely flies on everything I've thrown at it! Idle temps are 25-31 and running Prime95 100% cpu usage on all cores, my temps are 48-53.

I am extremely happy with this purchase and I would recommend it to anyone! Overclocking (also a first time) on this was extremely easy! :)

Thanks
 
im still waiting on my stuff to arrive :( Ordered last friday LOL. I got the overclocked I5 bundle when it was £100 off. Maybe i should have just oced it myself LOL
