Anything look wrong or incompatible?
Currently have a main ddr2 system asus p5q-e with a E8200 and a ATI Radeon HD 4800 (don`t game as much now so was thinking of reusing this ? )
Got all the rest of the bits 850 watt corsair psu hdds,opticals etc
maybe a newer ssd?currently using a crucial 128gb sata2 as boot drive

Still thinking so nothing is set in stone yet:)
 
No plans on sli or xfire.Not as big a gamer as i once was(getting too old lol )
Just wanted some new `toys`
Does that retail cpu come with a HS? or is it worth getting an aftermarket one as i plan on haveing a play on OC again?

also thoughts on a ssd?will a sata2 ssd that i have give me any problems to reuse?at least for a while as the cost seems to keep creeping up:(
 
The retail cpu does come with a stock intel heatsink.

As for the SSD, if it uses a older generation Sandforce controller then it may cause issues (you can Google this issue).

Apparently this old ssd uses the indilix controller,can`t see any problems relating to this on the web

If it works it will keep the initial cost down,planning on getting this kit in a few weeks when i am on my summer hols :D
 
Samsung 250GB SSD 840 EVO SATA 6Gb/s Basic

tempted by this,supposed to be a sort of software app coming soon that increases the read and write enormously (any thoughts on this drive,good?or bad with my selection of kit above?)
also if I plump for an after market cooler and fan what should I be looking for?
suggestions please on these as I am already happy with my choice of mobo,cpu and memory :)
 
Case is a coolermaster HAF 932 so plenty of room for a monster cooler
Budget not really got one i suppose £30- £50 prefer lower price range.Been out of the upgrading market for a while so am after a few suggestions on what is considered `good`atm

Any idea when the EVO ssds will be out for sale at OCUK?
 
Just taken delivery of the above items :D
Pre ordered the 256 GB samsung evo(hoping for this by the weekend)
Just a better than standard HSF to get now
Had a look at a 775 HS i got spre the pins look sooooo close but i take it they are `close but no cigar? `

What make and model is the HS, as it may have 1156/1155 compatibility.
 
coolermaster hyper tx3 says 1155/1156 compatible though
Also got an asus square I think on my `main to be replaced by new gear)not checked that out until I strip it
 
Lion Square, Silent Square EVO, Arctic Square and Axe Square AMAzing CPU Socket Compatibility .

Intel LGA 775 AMD 754/939/940
AMD AM2/AM2+/socket F(1207)/1207+

The Coolermaster hyper tx3 1155/1156 will be OK.

775 / 1150 / 1155 / 1156 / 1366 / AM2 / AM2+ / AM3 / FM1 / FM2

good news then.it is the silent square that is on my current main machine. had a better look at the cooler master and I need to move the arms to the other screw holes.these are overlapping the775 holes currently in use. which is why I did not see them:D

I would use it for the time being and keep your eye on the MM for a decent cooler. There have been some nice bargains just lately.
 
Yeah good idea :)was idling in the bios at 48 oC with the stock cooler,was fitted correctly too and built out of case to test
Will try out the coolermaster later this eve i think
Nowt in the MM atm :(
