PSU and monitor advice please

[ossian]

Hi

Need some help here please


Slowly building my pc, so far I have the Asus P8P67 PRO B3 board, i5 2500k cpu, Corsair CMX4GX3M2A1600C9 2 x 2GB DDR3 SDRAM Memory, Coolermaster case, 1gb Sapphire 5850 Xtreme card.

I want to overclock it can I use the stock cooler?

I may in the near future stick in another 5850 Xtreme in crossfire so can somebody please recommend me a psu.

And lastly a monitor.. A decent 22" for gaming

Cheers guys

For overclocking I would reccomend a new cooler, although I've never trusted stock coolers at all. I would suggest the Akasa Venom although someone with more experience than me might disagree

I would not OC with a stock cooler, I would not have a stock cooler if I didn't OC.

A good investment may be one of the Corsair Hydro Series. http://www.overclockers.co.uk/productlist.php?groupid=962&catid=1532

Good luck with build.
