New PC

[Sinny]

Hi, this will be the first pc i have properly made since just upgrading doesnt count ^^, but before i order my parts this friday i want someone to check them over and see if they comply with what i am doing.

Im going to be overclocking the processor
Watercooling processor (gpu when i get it)
playing DX10 Games

thanks.

im not looking for speed in my hard drive, just good solid DX10 gaming performance, also im getting the antec nine hundred case because it looks nice and has lots of room for me to fiddle around with.

Looks good to me. It I were buying I'd probably step up to an E6420, also on sale, and perhaps drop down to a less expensive motherboard like an Asus P5N-E or a Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3P. You might also consider moving to a hard disk with a 16 MiB cache like WD's AAKS series or Seagate's 7200.10 series.

im quite new to overclocking but have a friend who has told me i should do it if i get a core 2 duo, what would be the differance in buying the same processor type but the 2.13 being a little higher when the 1.86 is going to be overclocked anyway.

thanks for the info i have chosen the 4mb 2.13ghz processor over the previous 1.86.

also with the lian li case is it possible to create my own clear side panel or will it cost me a bit more?

im after a case with a clear side panel so i can view the inside (im a bit of a perfectionist and showoff =)
