Spec check please.

Hi all - How does this spec stack up? Any ideas what is the best quiet cooler for this?

I might do a little clocking if I can but nothing extreme. Sourcing quieter parts is probably more important.

Thanks very much.

You mean the normal p6t board? http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=MB-320-AS&tool=3

Thanks - 3yrs on the retail sounds very good considering I want this system to last about that long.

Probably going to go for the Megahalems with a Akasa AK-FN057.

Is everything else ok? Are there gfx / ram / psu for the money?

BTW the HD4890 is a faster card than the HD5770 so unless you need the DX11, I'd go with the HD4890... I'm probably going to get shouted at for that.

I weighed up about the 4890 and thought the 5770 edged it because it is quieter (from what I could gather) and a tad cheaper.
