only two things sprimg to mind.

1) does the ram fit with that cooler?

2)get a cheaper GTX460 1gb, you may as well buy a GTX470 for the same £££ - http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-137-GW&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1810

The ram should fit with that cooler as I used the TRUE with the Patriot vipers, I think the TRUE is not much different in size.

Please don't quote me though

 

[spark123]

Thank you very much. The thing is I am a fresher on DIY PC and I saw this on the OC website and was wondering whether it is worth for the price

 

[RJC]

Picture of what it did look like:

 

[Jony27]

are these specs from the OCuk Black Ops system?

 

[stulid]

whats worth what?

the whole spec?

or anything in particular, that GTX460 is NOT worth its money.

 

[spark123]

Thank you. I am looking for a new PC and was thinking whether to go for a DIY one or a pre-built one. One I looked at was a ACER G7750, only because the case looks good(I know, that sounds sad). Then I saw the one I described on OC website and thinking whether it is worth the money or I should build one myself

Picture of what it did look like:

the narrowness of the cooler helps. and after a good look at the sabretooth board I think the ram will clear, seems to be a good distance between the ram slots and cpu socket.

 

[spark123]

exactly, what do you think of it please

 

[stulid]

I should build one myself

yes you should, but change the graphics card.

exactly, what do you think of it please

made my thoughts clear, great specs, if you like the case then cool, its a good performer, but the gpu is overpriced

 

[spark123]

I am thinking of a budget of 1000 and do you think I should go for a better power supply or motherboard based on the listed specs

maybe a modular psu would be good.

thats about it.

 

[spark123]

and also, in terms of the GTX470, would you suggest an OC version

 

[Jony27]

overclock it yourself

how about a nice i5 system?

hmm, the reason that I was looking at pre-built one is I haven't built one before and I kind of need a new PC now. I am not very confident with DIY at this point, so could you please indicate some points that I might be careful with

and if you just ask questions on these forums as your building to re-affirm what you think your doing is right, you will get some straight answers.

thanks a lot for your help, especially the list
