Spec Check Before Ordering Tommorow

Also worth noting that Corsair RAM looks very good for the money but is only 4GB ;)
I got caught out from that once.
 
Well you cant take the audio drivers as the D3H has a VIA chipset for sound and not Realtek.

The Atheros chipset on the D3H maybe different to the UD5H (this is the LAN) so I wouldnt use that.
 
same ram kit, I meant just for the 8gb.. no reason to point out, I knew what he meant lol.

You said you changed it accordingly. Some people dont question stulid they just do what he suggests. It's £50 for the XMS3 2000mhz kit and Stulid will tell you himself it makes next to no odds using it over 1600mhz.

I think many of us would agree it would be wise to use the Kingston Genesis at £25 and if you have extra cash improve your heatsink. It's your build though you do what you like.

true true, from what people said here.. I might aswell do what you said and go for an 8gb @ 1600mhz and spare the sterlin.

That's my suggestion. Even compromised on the RAM as the 1600mhz Genesis RAM has gone up. The optical drive is faster for another £1, the cooler is better and has easy fit brackets and supplies an extra set so you can mount another fan.

I've used the MSI 7850 (GB is an alternative, both GPUs overclock well so initial clockspeed matters little), if you want CUDA support then fair enough use a 660. For a gaming rig the 7850 includes some nice games. A very good a reliable 128GB SSD for the OS and your games, you wont fit much on a 60GB drive.
 
It doesn't. I have bought 4 in the last 6 months, they talk crap or have supersonic bat hearing and are listening to next door's microwave hum or something.
 
Because of the reveiws it gets?.. lots of people who have purchased that 2tb drive has said that it makes loud noises, which to me is an offput considering 1tb would be enough imo.

Got one outside of a case next to me right now, it's resting on a cardboard box, quiet as a mouse.
