I recently moved from AMD to Intel, now both my brothers want to do the same. Budget £375'ish each and i picked out this little lot for them >

Anyone see any problems arising with the above used together or any 'known' issues? Rest of the PC's will transfer over much like mine did, bro's both in there teens and wanted gaming builds. Edit: bit more info, i will o/c both to 3Ghz using aircooling, both have decent high end aftermarket coolers and ive checked if they fit the board (they do, just).

Any advice welcome.

No compatibility issues, though I would recommend changing the RAM to the Crucial Ballistix 2GB . Other than that, looks good.

I thought about that one myself due to the current offer, however here + else where ive read about nasty levels of failure rate with regards to Ballistix Ram.

is that the ddr2 memory or the old ddr stuff Sean ?

fair few people are using the current ballistix 5300 around here.

DDR2 Ballistix far as i recall.
