new build needed, what options? futureproof

[Jaffacakekilla]

and no memory

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

The motherboards in the Intel build are for AMD processors too!

The Core i5 750 runs the RAM in dual channel like the AMD processors.

Is the OP a secret millionaire??

 

[Jaffacakekilla]

Overclock a little perhaps

A Yorkshire Millionaire.

Has money, but likes to keep it

 

[CAT-THE-FIFTH]

Overclock a little perhaps

I would get this motherboard instead if you intend to overclock the processor massively:

http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-363-AS&groupid=701&catid=5&subcat=1495

It has an 8+2 phase VRM which is better for overclocking.

OTH,if you intend to do a lower overclock the motherboard you have chosen should be fine.

In both cases since the VRMs are not cooled just stick a fan on them to keep them at a low temperature.

 

[Jaffacakekilla]

Only mild overclocking if any tbh.

Does anyone knoe if the case comes with any case fans.

What fans should I get. (same Yorshireman contraints apply)

 

[Jaffacakekilla]

Ok, the latest on my build.

I ordered some of the components from overclockers, next day delivery for £8, and other components from another well known online retailer, with free 5 day shipping.

The free shipped items have arrived in 2 days, and the oc stuff has not arrived.

Contacted oc to find out that the memory is out of stock, although shows as 'IN STOCK'

I was told that the memory should be in stock in the next day or two.

So, do I wait?

Do, I change memory?

If I change, what do I go for?

^^ Don't just call him, he may not know as much as you think you do, but so?



++ I've always had good performance and reliability on Intel systems, and hope you do to
You can change to OCZ ram, they're very good too + G Skill are also good + Oc headroom on them is pretty large
