My turn..

Here's my final choice...

What do you think..

Don't think I've paid £30+ for CPU cooler before.

Just one big hdd. Better option would be a smaller system disk then the 500GB as data storage.

What case?

Switch the ram for Crucial balistics 5300 and just overclock it to 1000mhz. Or get the OCZ 6400 ram which should overclock anywhere up to 900mhz.

Part from that i cant see anything wrong with it. Although make sure that screen doesn't have anything to do with samsung and those crappy screems people were getting. Something to do with C screens :S i dunno lol.

I have a samsung 250 I'm porting over along with a PNY 8800GTX

Existing case is the Kandalf VA9000 beast

Don't do crucuial. They've always failed on me in the past.

Afaik they stopped using the good chips (D9 was it?) in the PC5300 kits and the Geil is just as good as the OCZ.

The ocz is cheaper though. And i was the one that was asking about the D9 chips. They are still overclocking like crazy and i beleive it was just a rumour.

If you dont like balistixs i see no reason not to get the cheaper ocz memeory.

Raikiri · 12 Oct 2007 at 17:16

The OCZ is more expensive.

MumboJumbo · 12 Oct 2007 at 17:30

sorry i thought he had 2gb at 75 quid

I'd go for the Gigabyte GA-P35-DS3P, broadly same spec motherboard (e.g. same features), very similar overclockability, but about £30 cheaper. Other than that, dead on. :-)

I've been told that.. Looking at the OcUk page, it doesn't have any written reviews. Not sure if that's a good thing or not. Also, I was wondering what the difference was between this and the "R" version.
