Is a standard 4400 not overclocked good enough for the latest games at the highest settings? Or do you think it will slow down just running at a 2.2?
I want to get 4GB OCZ Platinium EL XTC ram, is this going to work fine with the DFI Lan Party Extreme motherboard? I really got my heart set on OCZ ram, espeically this one and want to know if 4 x 1gb sticks are going to work fine with this motherboard. Will i be able to overclock with 4gb or is it not very likely. I wana get my 4400 upto about at least 2.6ghz but i've never overclocked before and want everything to be right for it but I am not willing to downgrade to 2gb ram because i really want 4gb!
The Gigabyte G-Power Pro CPU Cooler looks really good! I want a CPU cooler that will do a good job but will look nice too! This one looks really nice but will it a) fit, and b) be good enough?
Do I need a sound card? Or is the onboard sound on the DFI motherboard okay? What sound card would be okay? Nothing too expensive, just a standard sound card will do (only using stereo speakers but want good quality).
WHAT POWER SUPPLY SHOULD I GET?? I'm only running 1 7900GTX 512 OC, but in the future i will be probably getting another in SLI. I want one that will be obviously very reliable, and hopefully look really nice too (I'm having a transparent side). I want to obviously get a good power supply but £100 for one is a bit too expensive, any suggestions? Can i perhaps just get a Hiper (its recommended by NVidia for one 7900GTX 512 but not for 2 in SLI - can i just get a hiper and then when i upgrade add something to give it more power and stability?)... or should i just get a really good one... any suggestions?
Also another little thing, does anyone know any PCI wireless network card that have a little on/off switch too?
