Hi all, just want your opinions before I hit order on this setup:
CP-135-IN Intel Core 2 DUO E6300 "LGA775 Allendale" 1.86GHz (1066FSB) - OEM (CP-135-IN)
£97.99 £97.99
HS-017-AR Arctic Cooling Freezer 7 Pro CPU Cooler (Socket 775) £12.99 £12.99
MB-061-GI Gigabyte GA_965P_DS3 (Socket 775) PCI-Express DDR2 Motherboard £89.99
MY-076-CR Crucial 1GB (2x512MB) DDR2 PC2-8000C5 1000MHz Ballistix Dual Channel Kit
£104.99
GX-042-OK OcUK GeForce 7900 GS 256MB GDDR3 TV-Out/Dual DVI (PCI-Express) - Retail £97.99
Subtotal £403.95
VAT £70.70
Total £474.65
Anything I can change to make it a better all round pc?
Only thing I am unsure of is the ram, Can I use DDR2 5400 (667mhz) and still get a decent oc from it?
Any other motherbaords avaiable for less that are still decent clockers (not too sure on the core2duo side of things - long time AMD user here)
I was looking at the 7600GT but the OCUK 7900GS is a steal at that price.
Wouldn't mind the price coming down a bit.
Cheers
EDIT:
