New Computer

[Captain_Slick]

Hi guys.

I've spent some time researching, reading up, and working out the details of my new computer.

How does this lot look?

Total: £671.37 (without postage)

I'm planning on overclocking the E2140 to get my moneys worth. I'll probably upgrade to a quad core when they come down, and a DX10 graphics card once that whole things in full swing.

I'm donating my current PC to the parents so I'll be getting a new hard drive for them too.

Some questions.

Why should I go for a P35 motherboard over this EVGA one? Apparently this is a pretty good overclocker... What P35 motherboard would you recommend?

Is the Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro not very good then? Also, will that HSF fit on most motherboards?

I've changed the case to the Antec P182. What do you guys think of that case?

Also, why Seagate or Samsung over Hitachi? I'm personally a Western Digital kinda guy, but I just thought I'd try something different.

Thanks for the help so far guys. Looking forward to reading your replies.

Hi there.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Is the Abit IP35-E any good? Or is it worth going the whole hog for the Abit IP35?

How's this looking then?

I'm only getting cheapo speakers because I occasionally want to give my Sennheiser headphones a rest.

How's the akasa AK-965 HSF? Apparently it's pretty good according to reviews. Cheap too.
